I was really hoping the 5C was going to be priced starting at $450 off-contract / $0 on-contract. Instead we have the same "popcorn at the show" pricing model as always, with the 5S standing as a much better value at only a $100 price difference. …

I thought the comparison was very bizarre as well, given that the products are so different. If they were trying to make a statement about competing for Xmas gift dollars, that would have been fine. However, they were specifically predicting launc…
