IPhone 5C 16 GB for 599$ without contract. Apple doesn't understand what budget device is?

Ugh! That is one bad looking case to me. What with the 7 rows of holes at the back when there is only 6 rows of icons in front? I suspect that when they were designing the case, they may have been thinking about putting an extra row of icons on the new phones?? A translucent case without the holes would be much more appealing. Too expensive and just f-ugly.

Apple could put an apple logo on a brick and it would still sell millions of units. The good thing is that Apple's market share is barely growing these days and WP seems to be catching up to it in many markets.




Wonder how much I could make selling apple branded cow pies?

With all the hoopla, there must be a hundred reasons for me to go out and get one of these fugly phones. Except I can't think of one.

I'm sure we all have devices that others might deem overpriced that we had no problem paying the money for. We all place a value (whether sensible or not) on things we enjoy.

The 5C is just an iPhone 5 with a plastic case slapped on the back. Nothing new, and its certainly not cheap, just less expensive.

Apple must be smoking some serious dope if they actually think it will penetrate emerging markets.

At least Blackberry's idea of a budget phone is better than Apples.

All they did was replace the back with cheap plastic and ditched the 5....which would have been $99.00 anyway and $549.99 off contract lol....
