If the 6c is basically a 6 with a plastic shell, I don't see it selling very well...

But if it's actually better, in some incredible way, I might be tempted to upgrade. I wonder if there will be a 6c+ or 6+c in plastic...

Some people are so lazy they can't even read the first post. Jesus!

My dream iPhone right now is a 64GB 4" iPhone with a polycarbonate back and iPhone 6 hardware. I'll probably go with green this time to mix it up from my current Blue5c.
 
As much as I like the feel of the "C" models, there is no space in the current product line for this.

Of course there is. It's called remainder stock. It's selling the leftover guts of unsold 6 stock with a cheaper plastic housing, and apparently even older screens, just like they did with the 5>5C.

Prior to the 5C they sold (lower quantities of) the 4 while simultaneously selling the 4S, and most people looking for a new phone just bought the 4S.

The 5C was a brilliant way to sell day old bread in a flashy new plastic bag. I would not expect them stop playing the same successful song this year.
 
This will undoubtedly be an iphone 5SC in fact, apart from the A8-M8 chip that will be built, there is little chance they will develop an HD Retina screen 4" specifically for this model.

I'll say it again for this as I did with the 5: I wish these casings were available for the same internals we have with the real 6 and 6+.

Candy-like or not, they look nice. :)

I'm really happy about the colors being added back in, however my dream is still that they would offer a red version of the 6 plus in ALLUMINIUM, NOT PLASTIC.
 
Maybe because it was either the second or third best seller at all of the major US carriers? Look it up.

Ummmm you do realize this is because they were offered for "free" with a 2-year contract right...?

I'm really getting tired of people with tunnel vision.
 
Now that the iPod touch 6 is out, it is quite possible they will tweak the iPhone 5s design and give it an under-clocked A8/M8 processor in the iPhone 6c.

I hope so, the fact that they didn't increase the screen size on the touch makes me at least slightly hopeful. It seems like if they were only updating the touch, but wanting to use the specs that they did, it would make sense to save money on R&D and just take out the cellular radio from the 6 for the new touch, so maybe we will see a 4" 6C.

There's plenty of room in the lineup for this. It'll be cheaper and smaller.... Traits that plenty of buyers want.

I don't remember specifically but the 5c sold fairly well, didn't it? My kids both have one. :)

As I remember it, there were rumours of Apple burying pallets of them in the desert as they really thought that the 5c would be the 'Biggest Seller', and it wasn't. They had to devote the lines they were building the 5c on to build the 5s to try to meet demand. The 5s, from what I remember, was by far the largest seller. Information I'm sure is 'out there' on the internets...

Personally, I have a 6+, and will probably wait for the 8+...
