If the cheap iPhone looks like the leaks we've been seeing and still uses the same smaller screen of the 4/4s I'd buy.
Maybe Samsung could do this but Apple has to rely on numerous companies for every part of their phones.
Steve never would approve of your comment.
nah forget it, that tamagochi screen size is so 2007. they much rather want to keep them all at the same size from now on.
IPhone 5 consumer?
IPhone 5 custom color?
Whatever it is will be a great entry level device that will eat in to the lower level android market share. Apple isn't stupid, they know exactly who they're appealing to with this device class.

If Steve Jobs was still here, there wouldn't be any leaks at all. Apple is no longer a secretive company. It's sad.
I can't tell if this is a parody post or not. Of course there were plenty of leaks during Steve Job's day. We will likely never be surprised by an iPhone again due to the vast quantities produced before announcements.
I'm sure the price of the 5S will retain the current price point. More likely:
$99 iPhone 5
$49/0 iPhone 5C
Or just $99 iPhone C, no more iphone 5. I'd bet on the former, though.
I believe some of these leaks are intentional. It's great free press. And as stated above, leaks have been going on long before Cook took over.

What the crap are you talking about. Remember that little iPhone 4 episode? And even the 4S was leaked like crazy. I didn't follow rumors before that but I wouldn't be surprised if there were leaks before that. The original iPhone rumors are pretty funny in hindsight, but remember that was a very low volume product compared to what we have today.
Edit. Also, if you don't want rumors and leaks, maybe you shouldn't be on MacRumors in the first place...

OMG you can't be serious? How long have you been around Mac communities? Think Secret, in fact, was a site that was usually dead on with rumors. So much so, I think there was talk that it was ran or information was fed to them by an Apple employee. This site has been around longer than you've been a member and before Jobs died. Guess what? Leaks galore.
So much that Apple took them to court and made him a deal so that he would close the site. That was back in the days when Apple would send C&D letters to people who posted screenshots of upcoming OSs. Now (thankfully) they don't care.

Just like the iPhone 4 at the bar?
Those shells are not for apple. Any plastic part were cosmetic appearance plays a role can not be tumbled together like that. They will scratch and apple would certainly not accept them.
Does the macrumor editor never looked at their own website?
I posted this photo even earlier and then macrumor editor said it is first noticed by a French website?

This is a good move from Apple! Some people like my mother, sister and other relatives love the iPhone but cannot justify paying £500+ for a phone. (My mum doesn't like contracts, so she stays on PAYG). She has my old iPhone 4 and a new iPod Touch. I can definitely see my Mum and my sister buying one each.
