I absolutely LOVE how everyone seems to be surprised by and praising - of all things - the 5c *build quality*. Even though it's secretly a craptastic, cheap plastic, race-to-the-bottom, C-stands-for-Cheap, super high margin, C-stands-for-Con design…

I think they priced it at $550 because they can. Since none of us knows how much the damn thing costs to manufacture or license tech for, let's assume the margin is huge. Fine. They did it because they're Apple and they can get away with it, and tha…
