5C does look like the Lumia phones with all the diff colored backs lol, I wonder what specs the 5C would have.... 5S not much of an upgrade from the 5.... waits for iPhone 7 :D
 
Modern meaning metrosexual. The pussification of the modern male continues.

Well then don't buy one. In fact don't buy an iPhone at all. Get a manly phone like the Galaxy. You can use that bigger screen to phone whip anyone that dares to suggest you needed the bigger phone to make up for having a small stylus.
 
Wait. So is plastic an okay material for smart phones again? Or are we still suppose to hate it?

If Apple makes it of course it's okay. It's not just plastic, it's Apple plastic. Can't you already hear Jony's sexy vibe voice telling you how great it is whipping you into an iPhone geekgasm
 
As noted in multiple descriptions of the "gold" iPhone, the color is closer to a light champagne than it is to a bright and garish gold.
"Light champagne" color is garish by definition.
Just imagine any Honda or Toyota car from 80's-90's in that color.

Ah so that's why I see 2014 models of Lexus, Audi, etc. that offer champagne as a color choice. Because its a garish color.

I won't be buying it. But I'm plenty of people won't care it's plastic if its the right price.
 
Probably gonna get the Champagne model (i'm a guy) i'm bored of black and white/silver of every vendor out there.
 
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.

:(

Why do people like you need to fill in every Apple news discussion thread with their tiresome vapid whining? If Apple released a rainbow unicorn that lays golden eggs - you would still find it "lacking direction and worrisome".
 
More crap!

Who cares? Same phone, screen size, OS (no, ios7 is not that big of a change) but different colors. I can just see the stupid look on Schillers face when he introduces the "new" phones with all of these amazing and innovative colors.

I hope every year they will go to a 4.7 inch screen or do something else truly amazing, and all Apple does is disappoint me incrementally. Looks like I'll be passing this year too. :mad:

Yeah, an oversized screen would make an iPhone "truly amazing" :rolleyes:. News flash: increasing screen size is trivial. That's why you see every Chinese and Korean doing it. Fitting all of the technology in a smaller 4" form-factor while preserving a daylong battery life - that's a technological achievement that only Apple is able to offer.

You want an oversized plastic phone with 3 hour battery life and bunch of poorly executed gimmicky features that no one uses? Go buy a Galaxy. iPhone isn't for you.
 
No better way to make your "low-cost" offering look like trash than holding it up next to your regular mode phone. It looks like a cheap child's toy next to the 5.
 
The gold/champagne color might end up being uber-popular overseas, but maybe not so much in the US.

Now if Apple made the 5S in anodized Tiffany Blue, and were able to stock it in Tiffany stores (plus some temporary Apple employees in there to help out with questions and activations), then we'd see some mind-blowing sales records.
 
I couldn't stop looking at how nasty those hands were in the video haha. He needs to trim those nails!
 
Or not. This could all be false, like the teardrop model. Apple could be laughing their asses off at all of this. Could be it was a prototype that was rejected that leaked, could be it's just flat wrong. Heck maybe Apple is behind it getting out there. Maybe that photo really was from an employee, an Apple employee that created the profile etc. All to get the blogs chasing their tails and missing the real story.

Who knows at this point

I don't really think that the cost of making this only for a media stunt is good for Apple. Maybe for the damn Chinese who stole the enclosures and is profiting on YouTube.

Anyway, if Apple wants to leak something, they use analysts. For the good and the bad leak. Not some youtube s***.
 
Show us the front then if its so real!

Am intrigued that, to my recollection, we have only seen the champagne 5S backplate. How come this shell is so widely leaked and not the others? Every time, the 5S shell is shown with slate/white 5 backplates. Why haven't the other 5S shells been leaked?

We've still not seen the front despite the fact that these devices must be in full production by now. September 10th still has some potential surprises.

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

My sentiments as well, it doesn't look too shabby in fact I'd go as far as saying rather cool. The plastic ones however I still stand by my previous comments they look cheap.
 
For anyone wondering, the soundtrack to the video is called "Music to Scratch Your Own Eyes Out To."

Who else went right for the mute button?
