A cheaper iPhone is coming this fall and it seems like it’ll be called the iPhone 5C.
Multiple reports in the past week point to the rumored name and what consumers can expect. The iPhone 5C will feature a plastic body, come in various colors and will more than likely include the same components as the current iPhone 5.
Apple is also rumored to be releasing the iPhone 5S — a speedier version of the current iPhone — which will come alongside the iPhone 5C and iOS 7, the company’s next-generation mobile operating system.
The Chinese site WeiPhone leaked a purported photo of what the case that will hold the iPhone 5C will look like. In fact, that’s the name that Apple fans will see on the box.
And then today, the rumors continued when a case manufacturer released what it’s calling the iPhone 5C case on Amazon. The French site, NowhereElse.fr broke that news.
Of course, what will set the iPhone 5C apart from the current iPhone is its bright colors. China Labor Watch issued a report, according to the Wall Street Journal, about poor working conditions that included information about the production of the new plastic iPhone.
MacRumors gives us an idea on what colors we can expect: A reddish/orange, light yellow, white, blue and green. Of course, those colors won’t be seen if the user covers it up with a case.
The iPhone 5C is expected to cost less than $200 — most likely $100 — only if the iPhone 5S remains at its $200 price with a two year contract from a cellular carrier. But let’s say the iPhone 5S starts at a higher storage amount and includes a handful of exclusive features; I wouldn’t put it past Apple to start the iPhone 5C at $200 and start the iPhone 5S at $300 or $350.
