      rik, 10 Sep 2013Apples are bunch of no brainers. 5C at this price range? tr... moreExactly right Rik. All Apple demonstrated is they are clueless about the Asian market, which is the only place they have left where they can grow revenue significantly.

      This Apple announcement gave me a good laugh for today.

          Ayos, 10 Sep 201399$ !!! apple won't be for richy ppl only !!That's $99 for the 16GB version ON CONTRACT.

          This demonstrates Apple doesn't understand the Asian market as 60%-90% of the cell phone users (depending upon the country) use PRE-PAID, non-contract phones.

          The only way this iphone 5 with a new cover will sell in markets like China is for the price to fall dramatically off contract.

          There are too many other phones with bigger, better screens and more features available off contract for less money.

          At least with plastic backs Apple won't be shipping phones where the paint has chipped off the metal case.

            You guys just got the idea of iphone 5c wrong. It's wasn't mean to be affordable for the consumers, it's is meant to be cheaper for apple to make. Iphone sheep will always buy iphone at any cost. So apple will sell a cheaper-made iphone for premium prize. Ifans need some colors in their boring lives so apple gave them colors and more colours for a huge price. Enjoy ur red-bulky-costly new iplastic. Hahahaha

              Are you kidding me... 16 GB for $199 on a 2 year contract? That means 399 or 499 without a contract.

              Enjoy your iphone 5 with a new wrapper.

                logic, 11 Sep 2013logic dude... its Color.. the real cheap phone is androi... moreYour wrong...it is because android have so many varieties to select so there's a competition of price. Apple on the other hand control is the only iOS device available and their got to control their own price without any competition from others. That's why the price remains high or slightly drop. The keyword it CONTROL.

                    Ayos, 10 Sep 201399$ !!! apple won't be for richy ppl only !!Iphone 5C 16GB costs 790 dollars off contract. That's the cheapest iPhone you can get.

                      GM just pointed out. Why 5c if you can get 5 with metal body and lighter for same price, Apple is ridiculous!!!

                            Why is iPhone double the price in Australia.

                            Why even bother to buy it if they price themselves out of the woods.

                            "In fact the $739 iPhone 5C isn't a really $130 price cut on the iPhone 5, because Apple has bumped up the price on the iPhone 5S by $70 to $869. The new "budget" iPhone 5C is only $60 cheap than the old iPhone 5. When you look at the Australian entry-level iPhone pricing over the years, the price of the iPhone 5C is nothing to get excited about. If anything it shows us that the iPhone 5S is more expensive than usual, in fact the most expensive entry-level iPhone ever.

                            iPhone 3G (8GB) - $719
                            iPhone 3G S (8GB) - $759
                            iPhone 4 (16GB) - $859
                            iPHone 4S (16GB) - $799
                            iPhone 5 (16GB) - $799
                            iPhone 5C (16GB) - $739
                            iPhone 5S (16GB) - $869"
