Why would they call it iPhone 5 though? Why not just iPhone and iPhone color? But even that doesn't make much sense because then the lower tier iPhones would always be associated with colors. Unless Apple expects cheaper iPhones to always come in colors?
Why are you so confused? It IS an iPhone 5, dude.
This is what it was always going to be. An iPhone 5 in a plastic case, with multiple color choices.
This is not unexpected, confusing, or in any way difficult to comprehend.
Right now, as an iPhone 5 owner, I want an iPhone 5C MORE than I want a 5S.
I'm really sick of the iPhone 5's design. I feel (as pretty as it may be) that it is economically flawed, scratches too easy, dents too easy, and becomes too bulky with a case.
The iPhone 5C, much like the 3G & 3GS, does not need a case at all. And is actually [I]thinner[/I] than an iPhone 5 wearing a case or bumper.
Apple would have to blow me away with performance and new features of the 5S to convince me to go that route instead of just getting a 5C. This is the design I actually [I]want[/I].

haha we don't even know if thhe iPhone 5C exists, and if it does where it will be sold. A lot of assumptions are being made but none of them based on anything substantial.

I understand your frustration. What I do is use a bumper and a media devil front and back wrap. The media devil one is perfect because it is super clear and the back aluminum section is matte. As for the bumper, it still keeps the phone super thin and sleek, while still maintaining protection for the front and back glass. If you had no case on the 5C- and were prone to dropping- could still break the glass- much like the 3-3GS.

Rogi- at this point, I'd almost say its a certainty.
I'm all for the iPhone lite, but I don't believe this one. Plastic packaging? No. One thing I like about Apple is their efforts to reduce their environmental footprint. This doesn't do that.
Have they ever packaged using plastic?
All the iPods are in plastic. But it is clear with a paper liner not this thin cheap looking plastic
I guess it's how you define what an iPhone 5 is. To me an iPhone 5 is aluminum and glass, not plastic.
I don't see how this is a subjective thing?
The iPhone consists of core components: Display, CPU, Graphics, Battery, Camera. Then, most importantly software & performance.
Whether it is wrapped in aluminum & glass, or unibody ploy carbonate & glass, it will have the same features, same ability, same performance level, same software experience.
Therefor, it is still an iPhone 5. The aluminum has nothing to do with it
And depending on your take on the iPhone 5, the 5C may outclass the 5S based on what you want out of your next iPhone. I'm more than happy with the 5's performance...but I am not happy with the exposed raw metal in several spots from a handful of light bumps it endured (forcing me to use a clunky case).

The iPhone Sexy, obviously.
People were complaining about Apple products being too expensive? Well they got their wish, this phone is for them. They can kindly stfu now, IMO.
C for childish as in making cheap crap comment.

I agree that the iPhone Color seems to be coming.
I'm still hoping it ends up being aluminum or a metal as not plastic.
If it is plastic just as the leaks have suggested Tim Cook and maybe even Jonny Ive have both lost their minds.
"C" for compact.
What a bizarre and unfortunate choice of a name if true.
