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

You can just buy a iphone 5 for less money!

Well better hurry then cause iPhone 5 has been discontinued by Apple. LOL

 

[Bee Mon]

I made a mistake, it's 549$... which doesn't make any difference.

Yeah just too expensive for peasants like me. I'll just have to make do with my poor old Lumia 620 *sigh* /s

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.

The only reason I'd buy an iPhone is for a great resale

the 5C is almost literally a 5 in a different exterior.

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.

Iphone 5c with Apple Logo - $599
Iphone 5c without Apple Logo - $5.99 (Contract Free/Sim Free/Unlocked/No Strings)

You feel me?

I would definitely favor a Lumia 520 over it

That case is ugly. What were they thinking having all those wholes and the "hon" of "iPhone" showing through? It looks cheap and nasty.

The 5C colours are also really washed out compared to the Lumia range which is much bolder and vibrant.

Couldn't help myself, so made this

So, I assume MS will be suing Iphone over design patents or something like that?
No offense, that Iphone design just "does not" fit, it looks like the designer was told to come up with something funny.

I saw horrible comparisons on 9Gag.

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

Its a serious money spinner. Instead of making the iphone 5 free as they have done with year old models previously they have made it cheaper to make but carried on charging for it. The ifans will still buy it in millions without realising they are getting shafted.

 

[WP7_Genius]

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....

 

[nocial]

People will still buy them irrespective of the pricing.
