Packaged iPhone 5C Surfaces Again in Multiple Colors, Video Shows Powered-On Unit

Fairchild said:
To all the people leaving negative comments about the 5C, this will be Apple's best selling product ever. Colours sold logos, computers, iPods in the past for apple, what is different here? A lower priced iphone that will draw people in droves, this product is no joke. I'll be getting one because I can almost guarantee it will be more comfortable to hold because of the curved back, and it won't require a stupid case to protect the back and edges from scratching and denting. If you have enough spare $$$ to rock the 5 and 5s caseless, all the power to you, it is a classy design, but the ergonomics stink. I'm hoping the 6 will iron out this flaw. In the meantime 5c for me.

Agree with every word.

These phones look bad though with the black bezel around the screen. Even the white phone is black! If I were getting one it would have to b black, but then what's the point? It'll look like any other phone. I doubt the 16gb will b $300 too. It'll b called iPhone 5dc then (dirt cheap). It'll canabalize the 5s

Well I'm not sure if anyone has commented on this yet... Don't think apple would get their own logo the wrong way round on the box (photo with green iPhone).

Officially fake then.

You're looking at the top of the box, it's just upside-down. You can see the ear speaker slot behind that watermark.
 
I want more info on the 5S I just sold my iPhone 4 in less than 24hours in order to pick up the new device.

Not even sure if I should just get the 5 or 5S. Any pricing information to buy a 5S outright, unlocked from Apple?
 
You can just see these are fake.

I really doubt apple with sell their phone products in iPod touch cases

We'll see after the announcement. Last minutes rumors tend to be accurate and I believe this leaks will be the 5c final packaging.

The death of iPod Touch is inevitable.
 
if they are not putting the phone in the box, i wonder why it's so big? there's always a chance for some cool free accessories...:D
 
I say matching the background with the phone's colour is bad packaging. At a glance, these looks like fake iPhones for toddlers.

I have nothing against the phone itself, except for the iOS 7 Safari icon and if the price starts from anything above US$349.

Agree. I think in the mid term (2 years, maybe?) the iPod line will be replaced by new products, like the iPhone 5C. I see the iPod line as some sort of "play ground" for Apple to test features and functionality, colors, designs, for the evolution of the iPhone.

My guess is that the 5C will replace the iPod Touch (at least the higher end of the line, as Apple could keep the 16Gb no camera iPod Touch model for kids).

As for the iPod Nano, I think the iWatch will eventually replace it, using a similar interface (stripped down iOS) and same functionality (radio, iPod, pedometer, Nike+, maybe videos and camera, buetooth connectivity and other health/fitness functions, and notifications, email...

It will be interesting to see how Apple product line up will evolve in the next years.

I like the iPhone 5C. I think it will sell well, despite not being the game changer everyone, haters and Apple fan, are somehow demanding.

I hate plastic and Steve also hates plastic.

No one ever thought Apple would never go plastic. It was Apple under Steve that would never go plastic.

Huh?

iMacs have been plastic. Macbooks have been plastic. iPhones have been plastic.

Get over yourself.
 
wow, great video. zoom in and pan around on apple.com - way to show off the device.

We don't know how much it will cost. We don't know what the build quality will be. So saying it won't succeed is daft.

1) it will cost $555 (leaked reports)
2) it's made out of cheap plastic (complete video reviews confirm that)
3) and i still dont know how will this product succeed

If it looks like this I'll be sold.

Looks nicer than many of the toy coloured shells I've seen to date. In this image the white rear shell almost looks silvery and the edge in the corners almost look like the existing chamfer from the iPhone 5.

If this is what the 5C looks like and it comes at a good price point off-contract, this will fly off the shelves. I'll definitely get one each for both of my kids, and if it's not too stripped of hardware and software, I may even get one for myself.
 
So let me get this straight, same size, speed you really won't see a difference between the 5 and 5c, but wait for it, new colors!

Wow, amazing stuff coming lately from apple.

And a price drop.

The 5C isn't the new thing. It's the 5S with its new processor, new camera (with new flash system), and new fingerprint sensor.

Seriously, these sarcastic posts about Apple adding colors to the line-up as being the only new thing are getting old.

The c seems almost tailor made for emerging markets but I think people will be seriously dissappointed if they can't get them here. But will it steal the 5S thunder?
Click to expand...

It's a misconception that it is just for emerging markets. It is also for markets like Europe where people pay full price for their phones. In most markets outside of the US, it cost much more than $650 USD.

There's no way it will cost that much. It will have to be at least $100 cheaper to work in Europe and other markets. If they sold it for the same price as they usually sell the previous iPhone, there would be no distinction. Just a little common sense says they aren't going to compete with their own product.
 
To all the naysayers that said this is a hoax.. In your face! Just saying. Someone was arguing to me about how apple will never build a cheaper iPhone. :rolleyes:
