My black/slate 5 has never been in a case. Dropped multiple times. It shows wear all around the front and back bezel as well as chips in the bezel from the drops. It even survived getting rear ended by a drunk driver going 85 while I was going 45. It ended up in my back rear window which paramedics found by calling my phone.
Not sure on gold or space gray but either should show less wear and tear. It will most likely be a game time decision!
I love how when the plastic iPhone is released its called polycarbonate but when talking about any polycarbonate Samsung phone its plastic. And yes, the Samsung Galaxy S4, S3 and Note 2 are all polycarbonate.
I really like the move towards dedicated processors for specific tasks. Similar to the X8 and S800. It's definitely the future.
Don't take oour word on it... According to The Verge...
This is how you make a plastic phone, though: from the cohesive shell to the smooth and glossy back (which did pick up a fair number of fingerprints) the device feels far better than Samsung’s or LG’s plastic options.
Heh, I honestly never really liked the hint of blue in the 5. It was black, but wasn't really. Ah, to each their own. I do know quite some people who liked the slate like you do.
I've read every hands-on first impressions review that I could find and I haven't found one that thought the 5C felt cheap or the gold/champagne 5S was gaudy/tacky.
Exactly. Apple doesn't produce crap. Just ignore all the whiners.
A cheap plastic iPhone 5C and some spec bumps with a finger print scanner? Yawn... iOS 7 looks like a new paint job and that's all. Yawn... Apple has seriously lost its mojo! I'll wait for the iOS 7 upgrade on my phone to judge. Seriously looking at Android, at this point, for my upgrade. Had there been a bigger iPhone, I might have thought differently.

No PINK 5c was interesting. Guess it's either Chinese-market only (which would surprise me), or it was a Photoshop job all along, and NowhereelseInsider fell for it.

The article is wrong. As TS shows, Apple has it listed as Pink. There is no red phone!!!!
Yeah, I cringed when I finally watched the keynote video for myself. Phil Schiller called it "pink" for crissake. Oddly, in some of the photos and even in Apple's own video, it looks remarkably like mulberry or even a shade redder, and of course the NowhereelseInsider headline (still) says it's RED.
Guess it was legit photo all along. I stand corrected, which is more than this site can say for its headline.

And nobody realizes that this is likely a direct response to the iPhone 5 scuffing issues at launch?
Maybe because it isn't?

Nice and shiny!
I prefer the black style of the previous model:
Maybe it won't show up scuffs so easily but I liked the darker shade.
I've been looking everywhere for this news when the 5S was announced, but not one news site reported on any change to the "black" color!
Finally, I get confirmation that the color is changed. Love it, and definitely brings me back to the old iPhone days.
White 5c without a white front was also interesting
I'm sure that was a big part of it - and a welcome move. One of a few reasons I stuck with the 4s. But I think the 5s may tempt me.
However, there's also stylistic reasons for the change - there's more of a consistency in style with the other 2 colours.

Go away.

Me too. Also, easier to cover minor nicks and scratches on the edges with a Sharpie.

Straight from Apple.com. Filename: color_pink_none.jpg
Then so the same with the 5c and S4.
That is a fun test to watch
