Looks iconic.This blue one looks pretty good to me.
But why haven't we gotten a flood of pictures of the 5S as well?

Compared to today's standards, it looks pretty bad, but back in the days it was a thing to behold for sure.

Ditto.
I assume because it'll be new innards but the same shell (and possibly a couple of new colours). The 5C is the only new design being revealed.
Can't wait for this!
Black and white screen? Yeah, no thanks.

It genuinely is. Its rounded edges are almost like that of a sea stone, so it just rest on the hands really well.
I think the 3 has a decent look, and as I mentioned above, is just perfectly curved to a hand.
Personally, I'm kinda over the general iPhone/Touch design, since I feel like there's a lot of wasted space above and below the screen.
Today's standards don't mean anything. There are a lot of bad phones out there.
Oh! I didn't know they were planning another new color besides champagne. That silver is looking hot.We have.
Yep, the black will be graphite instead and they're adding the champagne color to the line up.
No, last I saw they're just adding graphite as another option. Full black will still be there.
Never said it was a photoshop. Just thought it could be fake (real physical object but not made by Apple) plastic shit. fake front sticker and faceplate with the plastic boxes found before.
I could be wrong but that front peel off sticker with the shit walloper background colour is pretty amateur hour for Apple.
And it would be super weird for Apple to go with black front faces and colour backs when their ipod touches and nanos make a point of using white faces with colour.

Doesn't the 5th gen iPod touch ship with one of those stickers?
I've sold a bunch of Apple products on eBay no problem. In fact, it's always how I fund the new models.
Do you have any pointers for an eBay noobie?
yes, but its not ugly as shit.
Im saying the execution of the dark front faceplate combined with the light colours plus the sticker wallpaper colour looks ugly as shit. if this is the aesthetic direction Apple is taking, so be it. but, fuck it looks baaaad compared to the ipod touch.

...hate me...
Or just about every iPod sold in a see-through case. I remember buying my 2nd gen iPod touch with one of those. It's how Apple markets to that demographic that they're now targeting a phone for.
LCfiner ur losing your cool here buddy. Don't overthink it.

one rumor said the 5S would only come in graphite and
Sure! I always search the same model I'm planning to sell and find out what the average selling price is (Apple products always sell high on eBay... many times more than they're worth). Then I drop $10 from that and list it as both a "Buy it Now" listing with that price and an auction. What you want to charge for shipping is up to you.
Some people will jump at the opportunity right away and take it at that price, but if not, the bids will come regardless. Don't be discouraged if they don't come in right away... a lot of people wait to bid in the last 24 hours of the listing.
And finally, take good quality pictures of your device and put at least 2 up. Don't lie about the condition.
Good luck!
Hmm. I think the lineup will be
iPhone 5S
-Black
-Graphite
-Champagne
-White
iPhone 5C (C stands for color)
-White
-Blue
-Pink
-Green
-Red
-Yellow
If I get this right on Sept. 10 you all owe me a cookie.

Well I agree that white with color feels like a much more fresher aesthetic, my reasoning is that this "will do" (for now) as a cheapo colourful iPhone already has plenty of a "newness" factor that will keep the market in check for many months (poor choice of words, can't do much better tonight).
Then, one year from now, comes the midlife spec bump with a white face option that will keep it fresh on the outside.
The iPods and such are already very mature products that offer pretty much all that Apple can throw at.
As for the bad looking pictures... par for the course on leaked stuff. These will look much better in proper photos and real life, I'm sure.

The black front looks weird. I'd rather they be white fronts for all the colors. Like the iPods. Red with white front would be nice. Or even make the front match the back, or have a lighter variation of the back.
This blue one looks pretty good to me.
Damn, I have to admit the blue looks pretty fantastic.
the colours look odd, but I think the white one looks amazing.
And black could look good (if they even had one). I really like the look of the plastic one.
I actually hate the current gen iPod touches, except the black ones. And I think the one without the camera looks awesome. It reminds me of the gen 1 iPod touch, which I still have, and I think the simplicity is a really good design.
This blue one looks pretty good to me.
This is likely the one I would get, but I would much prefer to see a solid white-on-white or black-on-black model.
"That's what our black and white $99 iPhone 5s are for!" may very well work on me, because these things look pretty damn tacky. Maybe I'll just get a 5C with a black case and be done with it.
Exactly. The port was the whole reason they released the iPad 4 last fall, too.

So basically the 5C is a slightly skinnier Lumia 620? Unfortunately they copied the most awkward looking Lumia. Personally I love the design of most of the Lumia range, and don't really get why people are scared of a little color, but I also think the flat monotone design of the WP home screen really helps tie the overall design together.

Color isn't exactly new for Apple. They've been doing it for years with the iPod line. They are just applying that to the iPhone now.
No, it was because the A5X was a downgrade in performance. Why didn't they update the iPad 2 if the whole reason was the port?
Okay. Maybe I should've said "main" and not "whole." (I still suspect it was the primary reason, though you could be right.)

I still stand by the fact that the 'champaign' model is ugly as shit.
