Just glad they didn't call it the iPhone Lite. That sounded like something with the blurb "as seen on TV" or "Just pay shipping and handling" As guesses go, I predicted it would be called the colorful new iPhone 5, I thought about C, but for…

whatever it's called, there is no way in hell it's something as asinine as "iphone lite" Why not add "as seen on TV" in an blurb while we are at it. More than likely it will just be the "New iPhone 5"

Maybe they get their info from Apple blogs. I have been calling this for ages. But only because it's obvious. Why keep losing profits on margins by offering the previous high-end difficult to produce models at entry level low margins prices? It NEVE…

The more I think about it, and I like the plastic iPhone concept, I think these look much too girlie. Girls will love these. Young males on the other hand may be turned off by them. iOS7, the pretty white iPhone 5 and now these? I now think Apple i…

Actually I think it will be vastly important to call it the iPhone 5 because the blogasphere is already trying their lazy darndest to label it as "the cheap" iPhone. It needs to be reminded that it is merely the high quality iPhone 5 in a colorful…
