Someone should tell Phil
"Hey Phil, you can't even get a new CPU into the Mini after 4 years"...
Or maybe (less "PC")
"Hey Phil, given your waistline, no you can't innovate your ass"
Yeah but new colors and more *moji crap... for your new power users - Kardashians wannabes and fashionistas
The 6.1” iPhone which is mentioned to have the different colors isn’t the flagship phone.
Unapologetic plastic and it’s volor scheme on the 5c seems to have held up pretty well in terms of aesthetics. Those look better today than how unappreciated they were at the time. I could see how they give it another shot with the more affordable version. Especially since it skimps on casing aesthetics materials rather technology.
I'm a big Apple fan, but am saddened if this is what passes for innovation nowadays - really? New colored cases?
I'd love a blue iPhone, but I'm not sure I'd use it without a case so I wouldn't see the back anyway as I don't like transparent cases.
I wish they made an iPhone strong enough to be carried without a case, I'd buy the blue one or the product red immediately.

The rumor is for the 6.1, which is the LCD.
They won't give the flagship phones any options but the ones they have now.
The LCD phone isn't "innovative." It's "lower price, please buy this iPhone if you are scared off by the flagship model pricing" phone.
Well... battle scars on gear usually do mean it wasn't just bought for bragging rights.
On rumors about the colors: I loved my orange iPod shuffle. I could go for an orange SE, not holding my breath. Don't love orange enough to get a bigger sized phone, SE rules for me.
They’ll be glass, not sure if you can get quite the same look as anodization from that.Please let the 6.1" device have brilliant anodized colors like the 5th Gen iPod Nano and not a polycarbonate case like the iPhone 5c.
I’d buy a purple one immediately.
Really hope the ‘X Plus’ keeps the same pricing as the current X - would really like a bigger screen, but the current price is at the very upper limit of being justifiable for a phone. Though I think I’d take it in plain old silver!

No need to even go that far back ... it’s already been done in the proper form factor:

How is the color achieved currently under the glass on the X?
What are you expecting, the innovation happened with the iPhone X last year, a brilliant device with Face ID that is innovative.
I wasn’t saying color wasn’t possible, I was questioning whether mimicking the look of anodized aluminum is possible with glass. I haven’t personally seen an X up close (not in a case), do they look anodized?No need to even go that far back ... it’s already been done in the proper form factor:

...this is a rumor about colors. There is far more to an iPhone than colors. No one but you has claimed that APPLE is claiming colors are innovation.
Don’t get disappointed by rumors, be disappointed if the actual phone release doesn’t excite you.
This is what I suspect their plan is. They will want to keep selling phones at the current price, so they will price the Plus version at or very near the current X price. The new "X" phone will be priced lower and look like a good deal.
