Thoughts on the 5c?

[MeUnix]

Personally, I like the 5C; although I don't think Apple should have necessarily replaced the iPhone 5 with it. The seamless plastic case seems like it would look and feel pretty nice, but then again I'll have to wait to get my hands on it to make that decision. Pricing could have been lower for the 5C, in my opinion. When it comes time for me to upgrade, I'll get the 5S because I am impressed by the new features

u honestly like the cases?
the 5c one?

the 5s one i quite like, especially the microfibre. the 4s bumper used to scratch the metal.

but the 5c is just so... ill fitting.

I like the idea of them. Like how they contrast against the colour of the phone. It depends how they feel though. I remember having a rubbery case on an old blackberry and it was nightmare to get in/out of your pocket!

The phone is ok, I think the price should be $399 for 16gb.

Wheres the "dont care" vote option

its the button on the top left of ur browser, typically an arrow pointing to your left, a symbol representing 'back'

Innovative plastic? I don't think its a huge mistake but I think how its funny that they market this "new" way of making plastic things.

I'm perfectly happy, just pointing out yours was the grumpy comment.

I achieved enlightenment years ago. People form Loseling high-five me.

Don't love it, nor do I think it was a huge mistake. Personally, all of my attention is on the 5s.

If it was $0 on contract I would understand. But for $100 more you can get a 5s.

The case with the holes makes my eyes bleed. I'm actually shocked they all thought that was an okay product to sell. The writing on the back of the iphone is half shown half blocked. I never liked when people said steve would not blah blah, but I guarantee he would not approve that atrocious case.

Not my personal style, but I think here definitely is a market for this type of color. However, the pricing seems too high -- should be $50 lower. For that, I'm voting it is a mistake.

The 5c will appear to those looking to spend less or those who like more colors. I personally would've preferred having the option to buy the 5 over the 5c though. I cant judge for sure until I hold it, but I prefer the metal housing over plastic any day.

I think Apple is trying to appeal to its hipster audience a bit more with these colors though

As for the poll, I dont think it was a mistake, as I believe it will do well sale-wise, but on the same note I also do not love it. There should be a few more options available in the poll.

5C looks like quite good design.

Probably it is more durable and does not bend like 5 did.

There seems to be no improvement in 5S aluminium shell, it still has the large round volume buttons making the shell really weak.
