Apple iPhone 5C is official, a plastic and colorful iPhone for $99

The Verge: The new iPhone 5C is finally official. After months of rumor and speculation, Apple has opted to introduce its latest smartphone today at a special event in Cupertino. After detailing the latest updates in iOS7, and noting that Apple has been "hard at work completing iOS7" in time for its September 18th release, Apple's Phll Shiller unveiled the new iPhone 5C. It looks identical to the leaks and case parts we've seen recently, with a plastic back and a variety of colors.

Finally, an affordable iPhone.
It's about time Apple realize they aren't the top Smartphone leaders right now.

I don't get the colour choice. To me it is a weird Crayola mixed with Fisher Price colour scheme. It looks cheap.

It is like Apple are saying "Hey guys. Can't afford an iPhone. Hahaha. Don't worry we will give you and iPhone 5 but make it look cheaper so people know you can't afford an iPhone"

you're joking,maybe its cheaper on contract,but without it its 550$,this isn't cheap,5C is actually iphone 5 but uglier

Now all those people who were complaining about the price have nothing else to whine about. Apple is on a roll! ;)

Sigh, the xbox pages are filled with this kind of logic, too.

Actually there is still something they can complain about - the price. Usually when companies release a budget version of their top-end phone, they make it significantly cheaper. The price of the 5C is ridiculous.

New, cheaper model? What a joke... the iPhone 5C is in no way cheap! I'm very, very disappointed in Apple.

I will not be continuing with Apple phoned from now on. They've just lost another customer. These phones are in no way forward thinking. There are already older and better phones out there like the Galaxy S4.

ill be getting the 5c eventually. But the buy in price was above expectation. 99 $ is great. but come on 549$ off contract is a ripoff.

299-399$ i could live with... 549... not so much. ill just buy a regular 5 second hand instead.
