These low cost iPhones have worse spec, you won't be able to run the latest apps and games. That could be very annoying...
Hey look..
If you want to jump through major hoops to chase after a phone that Apple never intended for the US market, that's on you.
Enjoy your "prize"
Ah. I thought the whole point of having 2 flashes was to eliminate/reduce red-eye?
Seb
What hoops? All what I'm saying is regionalization is a thing of the past; nowadays any product that gets released anywhere can be shipped anywhere in the world.
Apple is smart enough to recognize that not everyone who wants an iPhone can pay $650, or sign a killer 2 year contract with $85+ monthly payments, so I have no doubt it will be released in the US too, so that Apple, not ebay resellers, will get your money
haha ew. Budget creamsicles just aren't the same.It's for those who want a "Less Expensive Orange."
Like a Budget Creamsicle.
I've like a blue iPhone.. after 5-6 years of having black iPhones, it would be awesome to be able to get it in blue.
Guess you missed the rumors about the single model iPhone. No more making one for each carrier.
And I agree about how silly the whole color idea is. If you want color, buy a case or a akin
I highly doubt they would make an iPhone designed for emerging markets (cheaper parts) have any type of color other than white or black. It just doesn't make sense on a marketing standpoint. They would have to sell this in the USA too, because there's going to be people who want this and can't get it because they don't live in some foreign country. Unless of course they make the iPhone 5S have the same color choices.
Ever heard of iPods?
----------
A case or a skin is not the same. If you're getting one solely to change the colour, it's nothing but a stop gap solution.
Ever heard of Nokia? They've been doing multicolored phones long before Apple even planned an iPod.
Lol, this isn't going to be available in the us, will likely support the china mobile protocol (not gsm, CDMA, or LTE.. Can't recall it's name).
Also, google which sells more the FREE iPhone 4 or the $200 iPhone 5, then feel free to repost.
My point wasn't that Apple was the first to use colour. That would be absurd, as would claiming that Nokia was the first. My point was that Apple has a long history of doing this. If you're trying to call out a copycat strategy, you're a decade too late. Good job.
My old SE phones had xenon flash, pictures were fantastic at night and they had a led for taking videos; regarding battery life hmm i dont know but they never died on me plus its not like you will take 100 photos daily with a camera phone
the only problem i see is the iphone 5 sooo thin i doubt they can put a xenon flash plus led light and keep the flat profile.
I think having a variety of iPhone colors to choose from would be a good idea. Not everyone wants a case and replacing the back cover yourself is a pain.
