New Photos of Alleged iPhone 5C Packaging and Manual

[ryansimmons323]

Interesting. I'm still not passing judgement on these things (including iOS 7) until Apple officially unveils them and until I get them into my hands.

In the iOS 7 beta 6 the white iPhone boots white and the black one boots black. I wander if th colored ones will boot in their color?

I'm guessing yes. Plus the home screen default background will also be color-keyed, if that sticker is anything to go by.

What an ugly looking OS.

^^ Typo fixed.

Having a black bezel looks better because the LCD itself is black - you get the illusion of the display not having edges.

Aside from this, I'm sure that using a single, standard display part also means less design & inventory challenges for Apple, thus further reducing costs for the 5C.

I prefer black electronics myself yet if I wanted colors I would want the entire device the same color, same goes for the touch and nano iPods. Even the iPhone 5 needs to get the back all one color.

Aaaaham, so it looks that f***ugly icons are the final one? I believed in them so hard that they change them in final version, but if they are on printed materials... shame you apple, shame you Johnny This gradients colours and designs of that icons burns my eyes...

Huh? Every iPhone I've bought, including my 5, had a SIM card tool included.

I got one with my 4s, but not my 5.

Can't wait to see all the hipsters walking about with licorice allsorts glued to their faces..

Looks nice, reminds me of the iPod Touch packaging. Now we wait for invites...

That pink iOS 7 is one of the most revolting things I've ever seen in my life.

Why do these "leaked" images always come in super low res when phones these days are capable of so much more

Maybe they're keeping up tradition. ;-)

when you use an Android phone to capture the image of an iphone


This is what you get

 

[Eadfrith]

OK..we've known what these new phones are going to look like for a few months now, how about someone leak some hardware specifications?

Perhaps you're just not part of the target demographic for the pink iPhone 5C.

iPhone 5 Classic(5C)

black front? pls no

 

[BvizioN]

Example: devices used to wake up instantly, now you have to wait for the fade in of the screen to finish before you can continue!

Yes, idneed!

And please remind me again... how many nanoseconds do you have to wait?

Chinese fake... what else

My 3GS came with a tool, but the 4S did not. There's no cutout or printing on the little 4S envelope like with the 3GS. Both on AT&T, ordered soon after release direct from Apple.

Actually, mine never came with one. Not even my white box replacement. I think they did stop supplying them in the subsidized models. Not too sure about unlocked models. The fact they come with sim tools might be indicative of how you're more likely to be sold off contract than subsidized.

neither my verizon iphone 5 nor my unlocked gsm included a sim removal tool. my lte ipad did include one, however.

maybe only in the states? i'm in australia and have always been given sim card tools along with my phones (both new and replacement)

Wow, they actually went with those ugly icons. I was hoping Apple would listen to the universal criticism and do a redesign for the GM.

 

[robertosh]

I've never owned an iPhone, i thinked that the 5C would be the first one but i've decided to wait until the iPhone 6.

 

[LostSoul80]

The massive amount of leaks on the 5C is getting ridiculous.
Those photos look legit and consistent with colors (even if washed out in the picture), case and previous package leaks.

That's the camera on the 5C.

"Universal" criticism? I like them, many others do as well.

 

[bushido]

that wallpaper makes sense to me. easy way to tell what colored phone choice u r looking at.

doesnt make those icons any less ugly tho and it especially shows on wallpapers like these. the white on white one ... barf. white icons "blend in" which looks horrible and those black ones well ...

i just dont get how apple can find them pretty givin their past design choices.

 

[Smartass]

Am I the only one who's like, damn, iOS 7 looks ugly on these shots!

iOS 7 looks ugly in any shots.

 

[attila]

Yes, idneed!

And please remind me again... how many nanoseconds do you have to wait?

400.000.000 nanoseconds, actually. That is 0.4 seconds.

But that was one example: there are many added animations and many animations are slower, so in total you do lose several seconds.

A pink case is acceptable. But why is the screen pink?

EDIT: My bad. That's a fake screen sticker. Looks hideous IMO.
