Pink...

It took them this long to come up with something like that? That's just stretching it.

I hope they don't make one of those videos talking about all that work they put into it, while using extraneous detail to make it seem like more than what it is. Matter of fact don't show Johny Ive at all.
 
So only one bright color and it's pink? Sorry don't buy it.

Apple has no clue what's it's doing. Different color schemes every 6 months. No consistency, no continuity.

It makes no sense for this phone to have the same color scheme as the flagship. Bringing back some of the old iPod nano colors is a good idea iMO. That's why I'm skeptical the only color we'll see is pink.
 
Maybe they will announce that siri on iphones might actually get an upgrade instead of being useless!
I stopped hoping for this years ago. Siri was the most exciting announcment for me (before the larger screens) and consequently the biggest letdown. I allowed myself a moment of hope with the "hey siri" announcement. What a fool I was.

Based on my underwear, I'd say yes.
Oh, I'm not judging the color. You can bet the forums will be filled with people asking this question though. By the dozens. It will be the new rose gold.

Hahaha, yeah, I hear ya, that was a funny, repetitive topic when the Rose Gold was released.

I agree on Siri, it's just doesn't meet my expectations - it works reasonably well in my car for the basic call/text type functions, and it/she/he even does a good job with notable background noise (even in a convertible), but having real, extensible, voice interactive system just hasn't come to fruition. Like you, I feel a touch disappointed.

Heck, my audio system without Siri has the same functionality and the same accuracy (side note, it's supposed to be upgraded to CarPlay in the first 1/2 of 2016, we'll see if Siri + CarPlay provides a better experience).

Of course I think the pink is hideous, I'm a middle aged man, but it kinda makes sense. Lots of kids now are getting iphones on their parents plan. I could see lots of early and preteen age girls wanting the pink iPhone.
 
I think the "C" design in good quality plastic is a decent idea. Especially since it could bring back a 4" screensize which a lot of people do want

I'm all aboard larger phones to a certain size. But i'm not deluded enough to believe there's a "one size fits all" use case. There's desire for 4" phones, there's desire for 5" phones, there's desire for 6" phones

When apple dropped the 4" and went only the larger two for the 6, I was puzzled. They spent so many years telling everoyne it was the perfect size, just to abandon it like a red headed step child. It would have made sense to go 3 sizes, and the 6 sizing schemed felt like a "me too" move abandoning their own past statements.

The only problem with the "C" level, is going to be price. And why the original 5c ultimately was a 'flop'. for the trade-offs, there wasn't sufficient price differentiation, and for only $50 more, you might as well have bought the nearly identically specc'd 5. or for $100 the even better priced 5s. The idea behind a "lower end" phone is to offer a compelling cheap option to those who don't / cant justify the more expensive device. INstead they treated it as a "bait and switch".

if they want the 6c (or whatever they call it) to be succesfull, don't price it at nearly the same price as the entry 6s, or even the same price as you can get a 6 at

(I'm still going on record to say that Rose gold is ugly (IMHO) and is Pink :p)
