Leaked Images Provide First Look at Purported Rear Shell of 'iPhone 6c'

I would go back to the C line of they included Touch ID, Apple Pay, and the camera from the 6. I loved my iPhone 5c when I had it, IMO one of Apple's best feeling phones. It would be cool to do a Moto Maker concept with the C line too.
It looks like it would essentially be an "iPhone 5CS" which suggests that Apple doesn't want to retain the pricier iPhone 5/5S production process for what will be the cheapest option in most countries.
yea, hot pink for all of the teenage girls
...or guys who wanna look fabulous!

Careful. That could be taken as troll food.
But points for style there!
Terrible! I almost cried when I saw this. Why would apple make this iphone again? No one wanted it the first time????
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.
Yeah, I'd like that too.
I like the vibrant, energetic feel of these. Since a phone lives in your pocket, it's great if it can really pop when you do bring it out (especially considering that we're moving to a future where wrist-worn devices will cause us to keep the phone in our pockets more often)
But I had to go with a 6+ for the power, screen and other improvements.
These are going to turn into the new cool. They are especially valuable for giving kids (cheaper and stronger against drops) and having it refreshed every other regular release makes a ton of sense from an engineering design perspective. You get last years internals smaller screen, cheaper housing for free is a great proposition for a certain market segment.
That's right, c versus s.
Having a plastic 6s+ wouldn't be a bad idea. Aren't most of the Droid huge phones plastic too?
they obviously still have too many 5c shells laying around in their stocks and just decided to drill couple more holes into them, throw a 4" displays that were left from 5 and 5s, insert camera from 5s, price the whole thing 100$ cheaper than 6 and voila - new phone with even more profit
but even that wont save it from failing like 5c did

I don't disagree. Especially since you can find a range of storage capacities if you get a used one.
I can't imagine going back to a 4" phone for myself.
That's apparently what Apple thought of the 5c. 'The phone for everyone'. Not pretentious, and in different colors too. If it had different guts, it no doubt would have sold a lot better. I'd think that they learned their lesson, but we'll see...
Where everything appears to sit it I wonder if they're just going to re-package the 5S guts. Based on the locations of the changes that's what it looks like. Maybe they'll have a slight spec bump with and minimize retooling if they drop the 5S.
It will be a 4" 6c and do not underestimate the customer base for such a device. REMEMBER: "Start them off young" on their 4" 6c. MANY parents will purchase this for their "young Children." Apple's way of countering the trend to get the "little ones" Flip Phones.
Always think 5-10 years down the road. Hook them early, and reel in slowly.
So, we basically have the iPhone 5c with upgraded internals? Sounds great! A lot of people will be very happy with this.
Just please, Apple, please don't ever release it with only 8GB! 16GB should be the minimum for this, and 32GB minimum for all other models!

Really? No one? Perhaps the demographic I work at is a little different (college campus), but I see them EVERYWHERE.
Actually, that is what a lot of people have been clamoring for. 6 internals in a 5C shell.
That would sell a surprising amount but I just don't see it happening. 5S internals at best, hopefully 32GB but most likely 16.
No - if there is a '6C' it will be a 4" screen.
