iPhone 5S to Launch in August in Several Different Colors?

[ijohn.8.80]

That's the iPod touch 5th Generation, how could you miss that?

Easy. I don't have one and have never looked at one. I have no need for an iPod and I'm not 19 years old drooling over all the tech. that I want my parents to buy me. I'm so old that I have to buy my own!

5 different colors, 3 different sizes....

The new iPhone 5S will also ship with the name Samsung on it.

Hahaha!

A larger screen or multiple screen options would be nice. Agree with most on the color options not being too great, especially with the suggested pastel line-up.

I think that it will be way to early to launch a new iphone. Apple would have to hold back even if they do have have the next one. So many people who purchased the 5 will be disappointed if it comes that early because they just payed for a new one like 8 months ago.

Being pissed off and sad that your phone is outdated after 8 months?

Not sure if I should care or feel sorry for those people.

Great...the iPhone has become the modern day RAZR. The 5S will be available this year in red...but wait, you'll also want the 6 available in the Spring in blue...want green, that's the 6S.

Although many years ago, I do have to admit I paid extra way back when to get the RAZR in blue.

Don't mock the RAZR -- the iPhone has basically followed the same growing path -- and we already know the RAZR was iPhone Zero, excuse the gizmodo article, but http://gizmodo.com/270353/the-razr-taught-us-that-the-iphone-is-priced-juuust-right

I'm making the comparisons in my head... it is just too sad to write them out. All I will mention is... V3->V3m = 5->5S

 

[iLilana]

what are you expecting?

I hope there are more changes to it than color and iOS7.

like a foot rest and a back massager? Its a handheld smartphone not a chiropractor. I suppose they could add a boomerang and call it the iBonerang.

The color doesn't matter since the crappy aluminum at the back is a scratch magnet and everybody (ok, almost everybody) is using a case.

 

[osaga]

Colors?.. we don't need no stinking colors.

We need a 4.5" screen, drastically better industrial design, awesome camera, and ios7.

Make it out of meteorite or or baby sealskin or something.

iPhone 5 (RED)

I got a red one, I have to say the colored anodized is very cool. Makes you wonder if the MacBook Pros could be in different colors too.

Apple should make the iPhone 5S backs scratchable that have different flavors (red: cherry, green: apple, blue: blue rasberry).

Just scratch them to get a cool flavor. Lasts for 5 minutes.

Apple goes into candy industry.

I hope the picture above is of a cheap version. Huge step backwards for an already premium looking product in my eyes.

Hum. These are iPod Touches my friend.

 

[cclloyd]

Steve wouldn't have...

Safari feels snappier.

Slow news day?

 

[carlgo]

I want one made from depleted uranium. Scoff at scratches or other damage. And it will give you needed exercise as you heft it up to your ear. Just don't leave it there too long...

 

[RoastingPig]

please just put a phone inside the black/slate 5g touch and i will be in love

whats the name of the theme in your first picture?

 

[Maschil]

just give me ios 7 w/ a 4.5 inch screen and ill never need a new phone..

 

[64Mario64]

I hope not. Adding colors is a common desperate move.

 

[Mr.damien]

People asked for a bigger screen not pink and green phones

I didn't

 

[64Mario64]

I didn't. Nobody I know did. Are you sure it wasn't just you?

 

[Mr.damien]

when i said to give us options apple, i didn't say to give us the rainbow.. we won't more options when it comes to the screen size.

a lot of people cover up their phones with cases anyways, so these colours are pointless.

Yeah because all Apple is listening to you for sure.

I'm using 'circles' for the icons, HTCOneX widget for PerPageHTML+, and Nexus Pro LivePaper background.

From what I understand, Apple will not sell an iPhone, they will sell an Iphone kit. First, pick the phone itself ( 32, 64 or 128 GB). Next, pick the SIM for your preferred service provider. Then, pick your can of spray paint.

Please, don't color your iPhone until after you exit the store.

 

[Mr.damien]

i'm not, but clearly the market is telling apple what to do but they won't listen.

and who the **** are you?

As the 'market' is giving 75% of all mobility money to Apple you are clearly wrong.

Its the iPod Touch…..

 

[rsmith83]

Doesn't the color rumor pop up with every new iPhone release? I feel like I've been reading this since the plastic 3G shells leaked.

 

[xdxdaustin]

I don't think you can have a unified GSM and CDMA phone and sell it with both activated, but correct me if I'm wrong. As soon as they sell it with one or the other activated (even if the phone uses the same cellular chip), it becomes a variant from a sales perspective.

They already have a solution to this problem! As of late (not quite sure as of when exactly) they let you select your carrier at the initial setup screen. I noticed it when I bought a replacement 5 this weekend after I cracked my screen

Wow read the comments in that article...people were actually saying the iPhone would fail miserably

Where are the GSM carriers? Like he said you can't have both
