    Unlike iOS7, which is not a step forward, the question on the 5C is simple...it is either a good business decision or not a good one.  Before criticizing the move too quickly we will have to see what the international markets think of the 5c.  Who knows...there may be a demand.


     

    I think we'd have to wait an entire year to see how it stacks up against 4s sales.

     

    If Apple continues to advertise it at the pace we've seen lately then I'd expect sales to be almost double.

     

    ... but, then again, Apple doesn't break down sales by model.

    According to who? It's almost as big a step as OS X 10.0 was to OS 9.

    And… argument ignored.

    Agreed.  iOS7 is a significant step.  Simply a step in the wrong direction.  But since you think very differently than I, and probably use your devices very differently, I can understand your enthusiasm for the changes.
