Newly Released Video Offers Detailed Look at Upcoming 'Champagne' iPhone 5S and Low-Cost iPhone

While I'm sure that some others won't share my sentiment I just feel that all these leaks take away from the excitement of the keynote. I've always looked forward to the keynotes and while leaks don't tell the whole story I just wish there weren't so many of them giving away the secrets. :(

Uh. You're on a site called MacRumors.com. What did you expect :rolleyes:

But seriously - I see where your coming from. I would just love to know who the leakers actually are. Engineers? Manufacturers? Verizon?

On the topic of plastics:
Polycarbonate == contains BPA?

Since this is all rumors, nobody knows. I'm sure Apple will document it on their website, as they have documented lots of use / non-use of chemicals on their website.

BPA is banned in baby drink bottles. So maybe you shouldn't let a baby keep a plastic iPhone in their mouth for hours. Maybe you shouldn't do that anyway, because water damage that will not be covered under warranty seems quite inevitable.

I take it the reason you are visiting an Apple rumor site to begin with is because you are looking for leaks/rumors about future Apple products.

Don't blame the suppliers for feeding the demand.

You misunderstood my point.
 
The champagne has a slot for the flash while the others have a circle. Am I seeing this correctly? If so, anyone know what the difference is?
 
Anybody notice the Champagne one isn't real ?

Generally when Apple uses color, there is a palette at least that goes together, whether its the same saturation, or complementary colors, they feel like a they go together. When you look at the lineup of whats been leaked in terms of the 5C and 5S, its a mess. When you look at all of those phones together its all over the place. No cohesion.

Its pretty obvious that the 5S and 5C are designed for different markets and the 5S was designed to be the premium device (in terms of looks features, etc.). With most of their products I don't think Apple is worried about cannibalization but I do think they are with the iPhone. Hence the differentiation. My guess is there will be different marketing around the two devices and we probably won't see them marketed together very often.

iPhone 5S -> dual LED flash
iPhone 5 -> just one LED

The white and black are iPhone 5s.

Am I the only one the champagne colour is starting to grow on me? Looks great in that vid.

That was kind of inevitable.

When rumors of a "gold iPhone" appeared, some people whose mentality I can't quite understand claimed that (a) Apple would produce a phone in the most nasty gold colour imaginable, and (b) Apple would stop all other product development and the colour would be the only change. They then took the opportunity to shoot off a barrage of infantile, often insulting, often racist, always intolerant posts that failed miserably to proof that these people had any idea of taste, style and beauty.

Should have been obvious from the start that Apple would choose colours that actually appeal to a large part of their potential audience.
 
I wish the Champagne version didn't have the white bits as it looks cheapened down with it.

All gold champagne version would look classic

Still really dislike the 5 shape and thin flimsy body. It just looks so un-apple if one could say that. So fragile, but not in a good futuristic techy way. I've bought the 3gs, 4S and 5 and still will cling to the 4S. I will certainly not be buying the 5s, would rather buy the c and it seems I am not alone.

Another year for the 4s, it's so solid this phone, love it. Would love the cpu bump too but we'll see about 6.

Shame Apple, I am not going to buy a Samsung but you are not giving me any reason to give you more money on phones (especially your flagship) at this stage.

So where did the 5 I bought go then I hear you ask? My gf and she loves it. We are of different genders.

Obvious. I can't believe that after so many years some people thought Ive would just launch an awful Gold phone. It was clear it'd be something of good taste. But some people wake up in the morning trying to find a way to say apple is doomed

Agree.

Whatever, this year's phones are just re-hashes, no one is really expecting much anyway.

BUT... I really hope they get their act together for the iPhone 6. These cheesy looking colors and lack of direction is worrisome.
