Anonymous, 28 Jan 2014The Iphone looks really dated nowBecause it is dated, out dated! Only Apple fans are too full of themselves understand how limiting the phone actually is. The only “Premium” thing about it is the casing and that’s covered with a case, a plastic case. It like owning a Lamborghini with a Honda Accord engine; all for show and no go. It’s funny to watch Iphone users, especially at airports, scramble and fight for charges and plugs while I just switch out a battery and keep it moving.

    Well there are foolish wealthy people who will buy this iPhone Crap...But smart people with the same money will rather think about Xperia Z1, Galaxy S4, HTC One, Lumia 1020, 1520, LG G2 and many better high end devices which makes a big difference in our life's. Stop spending money on Craps and stop filling Apple's Vault with extra wealth.

            iPhone 5c Needs to be priced 200 euro lower than its current price to be competitive. iPhone proces are madness anyway. 800 euro for 32gb iPhone 5s sim free. My retina ipad mini 32 GB costs 480 euro and lacks touchid and 8mp cam and gsm capability. But has much larger screen and same or better build quality. iPhone is way overpriced. Not just 5c.

                What does Apple expect though?
                They discontinued the iPhone 5 which was a kick ass phone to sell a "budget" iPhone for the same cost of the iPhone 5?
                Come on Apple! I love the devices but I would never waste my money on an iPhone 5C!
                I am currently an Android user and have owned many iPhones, more than an ordinary person should, and I like the products, but I am waiting to see if the bigger screens are actually going to become reality.

                              All these iphonies bragging about the i-phone design. If that is all they are interested in, then you might as well put a 1100cc engine in a Ferari because I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on such a small screen and the rubbish specs under that hood.

                                      Nothing premium about the iphones anymore except the price. When Apple finally decides to get away from that tired old design they've been using since the 4 (and the round button since the original iphone), standard micro-USB charging, at least a 5" footprint and reasonable pricing I may consider purchasing iphones again.
