Server weiphone.com is a relatively reliable and, above all, frequent source of news and photos of not yet officially presented news. It is not surprising that this server from China has its sources directly in factories such as Foxconn, where the company's new products are manufactured. Apple. Now a photo has surfaced online showing a crate full of plastic packaging with the logo Apple and marking iPhone 5 C. While iPhone has never used plastic packaging for other products, and the entire iPod line, with the exception of the iPod Classic, has had regular packaging for several generations. This is also found, for example, in Magic Mouse.
In addition, the boxes really resemble packaging that Apple used on iPods, the font and the company logo also fit. The question is what the mysterious letter C at the end of the product means. The letter is written in a frame just like it was on iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4S for the letter S. Apple basically never officially revealed what the S stands for iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4s, but it is clear that for these products it indicates Apple a more powerful version of the classic iPhone 4 to iPhone 3G and the letter means Speed, i.e. speed. U iPhone Lite, as the cheaper and expected version so far iPhone would indicate, apparently, C should mean the word Color, i.e. color. It is about different colors variain connection with the cheaper iPhone most often speaks.

I pray every day that Apple did not present iPhone lite... because if you make the soup cheaper, people will want the main meal cheaper too... and personally I can't imagine a mac book pro lite, magic mouse Lite or apple tv lite :) simply if apple they make one thing cheaper, uglier and without novelty, so people start to consider it normal and eventually demand it... and Apple never been a company with products available to everyone…so i pray :)
Martin:
Not everyone has €700 for a new one iphone, not everyone has €1000 to macbook air, 1500-1700€ per macbook retina
The cheaper category will not take a share of the sales of expensive and top products, on the contrary, it will create additional sales and in the middle segment of the market
Martin, I would also prefer if nothing like this happened, just so that old models would become cheaper, but if iPhone Lite came it would have a lot of advantages and Apple could significantly expand its market share. And for example, parents would no longer have to buy their children the most luxurious mobile phone on the market for 20, but this would be more than enough for them. But it's true Apple he was always among mobile phones Ferrari among cars.
Roman I will allow myself to fix them, at the presentation of the iPhone 3gs apple he said that it means speed,
4s – speed and siri
What on earth is this for? Apple has always followed the strategy of one phone and until now it has worked like that and they have also made a profit from it, which, as I see from this product, they are in the first place...
Amnart: not everyone has €200 for a new ferrari, that's why people buy felicias, not everyone has €000 for chivas regal, that's why they drink tesco vodka :) and imagine if ferrari or chivas started to be produced and sold for half the price :) do you really believe that the car would pedal the way it pedals now and that people would really like the whiskey? ;) Simply and that apple they will lose prestige and I'm afraid they will also lose quality :) and quality is what apple does appleom ;) because if that apple they do it that way, they do it only for profit :) and people want the cheaper one iPhone they will buy just to keep in their pocket apple product :)
a iPhone 5S will be SPEED, SIRI, STUPID :D
If they introduced 5C, they will introduce 6 straight away.
"I pray every day that Apple did not present iPhone lite…” – only a properly brainwashed wretch can take this seriously. If someone proves their social status by telefonein my hands, I just feel sorry for him.
Martin Šnirc and Cermb0, it's only here in our regions iphone luxury, even only because most people here do not earn as much as elsewhere. in usa/de/gb etc is iphone common thing and no one solves social status with an iPhone, because it is there iphone almost everyone from teenagers to managers to retired women. Apple simply wants to expand its product even more, IMHO this phone is not intended for the above-mentioned markets but for developing countries, where we belong, for example. I don't know where you all get that from apple is a luxury brand, it is of high quality, but just like any normal company appThis is a profit that you will definitely increase with this product. stop beating yourself up about it iphone and that's why you're something more, because you're just a laughing stock for everyone around you.
but ipods were divided into groups of people according to what they use them for, not according to how much they want to pay :) shuffle for those who only need a few songs and don't need a display, nano for fitness enthusiasts or runners, classic for real music lovers who have downloaded gigabytes of albums and the touch is already directed to the game console, just like a mac book for professionals, while your grandmothers just need new recipes from the net air ;) and that's how you can write dorana :) only pri iphone I can't imagine the separation of users according to needs :D Nimrod :D I'm glad to meet you and that you know my social status and can therefore evaluate my person perfectly :) where is Freud digging ;) and please tell me how social status is proven let me know ;) or what's in your heart? :D
The point is that Apple has always claimed and claims that money and market share are definitely not their first priority, they are interested in customer satisfaction. That's what they claim. iPhone Lite proves that they want to increase their market share, which is good in a certain sense, but if they want to "make extra money", it's not so good because they are not poor people.
Nothing wrong, guys, but Piatro is the only one right here :) I'm just sorry that I write something here and you immediately start picking on me, that I'm fooling around, that I have iPhone :D for God's sake :) I'm not 13 and I'm not writing here that I lost my virginity yesterday, I'm just saying that I'm afraid of that step apple-u ;)
It is interesting that the box does not indicate which color it is...
color variantu
Martin Šnirc:
take it for granted that there are already 3 iPhones being sold, it's not about the 4S and 4 being older but they are being sold at the same time as the iPhone 5, and sometimes it wasn't like that,
in 2009 when he arrived iphone So the 3GS stopped selling. iphone 3G, and the 3GS was the only model in 2010 apple issued iphone 4 and the 3GS was still being sold because they understood that they would make more money from it
– to that social status :D
iphone 5, galaxy s4, bmw, audi, porsche similarly, status is proven - people don't buy them to show off, but others around them see that they are close to the money and that I play in a different league, about as much :D
when someone comes in cheap clothes, with a cell phone for €700 and gets out of a BMW x6, it's clear that he's not a zobrak :D, and similarly, that's how people perceive it, and I always will, so I fully agree with you on that
Roman if my memory serves me correctly, I also remember that during the presentation of the 3Gs, I think he already said that "s" is speed.
Cheap ad iPhone or about 5c, since there is a crisis in the construction industry that hit me hard, although at the beginning I was full of optimism and signed up for 2 years with iP 4, later I regretted it terribly and since then I said to myself that I prefer an unbound flat rate and a phone at full price only after 3 years. without a job, I was forced to completely reorient myself and take a job for a rather low wage. Unfortunately, I'm old /fucking youth and far away/ and the crisis in the construction industry is not improving, yes, by 10 years. younger colleagues found a job earlier, I was glad to have a job for the time being.
Therefore, paying EUR 600-700 for the phone is enough in the given situation, if the 5c was priced at EUR 450-550, as they say, I would think about it very much.
Anyway, I still had 3G or 4 in the case, and with 4 the case helped me a lot, especially now in the new robot when it fell out of my pocket a few times and since it can't be put anywhere else, the case helped a lot.
hoc design 5 with aluminum and glass in the back is very very nice, but I would like it for a better price, because it would probably end up in the case anyway.
yes, I understand you too :) the fact that older iPhones are sold is fine, but the fact that there will be technicians applu stand over the iPhone and say we won't put this there, we won't put this there let it be cheap :) that doesn't sound like apple :) maybe you o apple I think he's perfect and even if he's not, please leave me in this illusion :D
Again, regret over some posts prevails here. It is very sad that someone has to prove their social status - or rather social classification products of society appleIt would be toonec world, if the products were more widespread among ordinary people and the person in question would lose their uniqueness, because otherwise they are obviously empty...
Personally, I think that a cheaper phone has its own logic. Much of the profits Apple is based on sales via iTunes and AppStore. Launching a cheaper phone can then take Apple as a "subsidized phone" with which people will pay extra for content.
jirben :D it's slowly getting embarrassing to write it here :) nobody mentioned here that he is a demigod because he has iPhone ;) it's nice that you're fair and you want everyone to have the same :) but socialism was already here and if you read a book you'll see that it failed ;) simply someone will always have more than another and vice versa :) and if the team thought of me, believe me I'm not empty ;) and Roman, I'm glad you wrote it :D some people simply like luxury in clothes, others in cars or houses, others in electronics :) for example, I would never buy shoes more expensive than 100€ because I know that I'll walk around the field and the guys will talk me into going to play and I won't want to go home to get football boots, so I'll play in the shoes and then I can throw them away :D but why not buy them iPhone when I know I can rely on it and it will last me just fine for three years? :)
Martin Šnirc: I find other comments embarrassing, but as I say, it's a matter of opinion. I don't know why you're bringing in some kind of socialism, it's just a matter of empty human ego...
Roman Zavřel: nice comment. You could make another music video for this, this time on the topic of a brand in your life.
Roman: well, you have to save on something :)
I think it's enough about what someone suffers for. Your Breitlings also don't show better time or have more functions than my Citizen, and you certainly don't use them more often than I do. Maybe better processing, but that might show after 100 years :)
It's more about the fact that a person wants something and then, if he has it, he buys it. Although I admire people who they have to wipe their phone to be able to buy it. I would nevereurobeat…
In the city where I live, I sometimes feel that iPhone already have minialmost 50% of the population :)
And the rest is Samsung because it has a bigger display, memory cards and mass storage :)
jirben :) please, what did Einstein mean by the fact that he is not sure whether the universe is nekonewhat? :) did he come up with something that proves that he has limits? :) no one knows but when you know I'm just an empty ego and Roman he only lives for branded clothes, so you know us perfectly without ever seeing us or talking to us, so you could somehow astrally connect with him and ask him, please :P and don't forget to write here that you can't travel astrally, because I mean it just for fun, in case he couldn't tell ;)
Martin Šnirc: what do you think?
Roman FROM.:
“I hardly ever wear shoes other than Prada”…
"I am calling from iPhone 4 exactly the same as from iPhone 5, so we didn't find a reason to buy a new phone!…
As they say, life is a matter of priorities. Someone is wearing Adidas shoes that are as comfortable as Prada and cost a fraction of the price. So he found no reason to buy expensive Prada.
And just like that, he could understand that you are proving something with Prada shoes.
Just like you, you didn't find a reason to buy iPhone 5, because you are enough iPhone 4.
It is simply about the added value of the product, and often only a narrow group of people see that added value.
You just obviously like to dress up and the phone is not important to you. Someone has it the other way around, they have to have the latest phone model because they are passionate about it and on the other hand they don't care about rags and maybe they don't even know what Prada is.
...I don't have to go far, for example Steve Jobs and his style of dressing. ProIt wasn't important to him in his life. On the other hand, I know a guy in Prague who loves luxury clothing brands and saves several paychecks to buy LV shoes, for example, and then has trouble paying the rent. It's not that he wants to prove anything to anyone, he just loves fashion.
I'm not saying I approve of it, but I certainly understand it. ;-)
Jarys: so if someone really loves fashion, I'm not surprised. I also like to save for something of good quality that has a price. It just seems to me that it is simply exemplary to write here that someone has Prada shoes and then to add branded clothes like GANT or AJ, which are actually almost no brands, it's just that it's so widespread in the Czech Republic, but it's a classic thing abroad... so what else it's more than just an ego that he has to show that he's got what it takes. This has nothing to do with a hobby or fashion.
ProYou didn't give it to me.
Youtube: rhythm-parody-kazma
from 1:43 and a dot behind everything at 4:34 :-)
perhaps stupid, but
5c won't the "c" stand for cheap? :)
MŠ: Yes, I'm a brilliant psychologist, you're watching, aren't you? People like you don't care at all about the fear of a drop in quality (compared to older plastic ones). apple products, I'm not worried about anything like that at all), they just care about having THE ONE iphone, which is EXPENSIVE, so they are COOL. And if there were more iPhones among people... you know, they wouldn't be so cool anymore! So phew phew, they have to "pray every day that Apple did not present iPhone lite" (that's a really desperate sentence) so that they don't accidentally lose the privilege of ONE EXPENSIVE iPhone. Now try to think about the fact that iphone every other teenager has a dick. Huh? Do you still feel so amazing and great? … For myself: I'm not against it at all, on the contrary, the more people have it iphone the better – imessageOtherwise, I would easily sign under jirben, he seems to have it all sorted out in his head.
Roman Z.
You didn't have to delete your last post, I thought it was spot on. (or were you afraid that some people wouldn't be able to stand it if they found out what you drive?) :-)
yes Nimrod :) that's exactly how I am :) everywhere I go I show that I have iPhone 5 and I laugh at people who don't have one :) and I feel like a star when I know that I have one :) only now you disappointed me when you wrote that I don't have a single one iPhone in the world :) that's probably why I'll sell it and get the name of my savior Nimrod tattooed on my penis for the money! :) and I'll wear a Nokia 3510i ;) because not every tenth grade fan has one anymore :D you must be a psychologist because you read what I didn't write :) the last time I'm writing is that I'm praying only because I'm afraid that apple make a mistake with this product and it will reflect on his reputation and that will open the door to companies that only benefit from the failure of companies like Apple :) sorry if I wrote it wrong, but I guess someone will understand ;)
If it is Macbook Air Lowcost, that's me Steve Jobs :-) Have a nice evening guys :-)
I remembered the words from one of the songs: "...people in this country I'm going to shit until I have just enough..." ;-)
Roman Zavřel: here it's just that you fit Gant or AJ between luxury goods quotes, but that's not a brand - as you probably wanted it to sound in the list of what you wear or what your wife wears. Gant i Aj is an ordinary brand such as Mango et al. Only here in the Czech Republic those prices are overpriced and the Czech company suggested that it was something more. So I'm only talking about imaginary luxury - hence proving something to myself again. If we were talking about quality, the Gant brand is somewhere very deep :D But I understand that it has a name in the Czech Republic :D
Typical... as soon as more expensive and, in quotes, better things are dealt with, it must immediately slide into pathos, that others must simply envy it. Honestly, I don't care at all...it just bothers me when someone elevates himself like this and makes himself almost a superior group of people.
I, for example, like all the products appI have to save up and I'm glad for it because I really appreciate it, that the resulting product is a reflection of my hard work and I appreciate it even more and I don't see anything wrong with that at all.
Between iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 there are no such differences that would make the owners of the fourth generation sad or anything :D But the owners of the 3GS already had those reasons, regret not waiting..
jirben, I contradicted you until now because I didn't like what you wrote, and even if I still don't agree with it, your post had something to do with it :) thumbs up ;)
And by the way, as someone wrote here, he would never save on anything, he would just buy what he had money for, that's nonsense. That feeling when you save for something for a long time, put in the effort and then buy it is great, then you enjoy it a lot. And you also know that it doesn't fall from the sky like it does for someone.
Cermb0:
I wrote about the fact that spending 600-700e on a mobile phone is stupid in my opinion. Either I have it or not for that price category.
Because it's nice that you put it on for a long time and then appreciate it more, but it means that you have to deny yourself something else because of it. The only thing is that you would stop smoking and the saved money would go to that :)
Is there a meeting of economists here or what? Speaking of which, iPhone If you are comparing it to cars and specifically Ferrari, I can tell you that Ferrari also sells not only the F12 Berlinetta, but also the cheaper 458 ;)
iPhone lite is a logical step. It would be a shame if iOS didn't work on the phoneonewhich can be x times as many at once. The market is not inflated and even the rich are starting to save. Moreover, the lite hasancand get into corporations for which it was expensive to pay twenty for a phone. Cheaper varianta will contribute to the expansion iOSthat's what matters most. The rest is the nonsense of snobs who feel they will lose their exclusivity by allowing the poorer ones to afford a similar system. But that's about it. AppI've known Lu for over twenty years. There have always been people like that.
whether it seems to me or not apple just imagine iPhone ?
Roman Zavřel: if you only use it for calls and text messages, buy a non-smartphone ;) it will last you more than a day :)
Apple would that phone give miniat least for 12000,- (I'm expecting around 14000,-) so none of the poor will buy it anyway. It would just lower their PR.
iPhone 5C= iPhone for China? :))
Well, even if I'm an opponent, I'm quite interested in how our market would accept it, where people solve everything differently and steal, then the forums will be flooded with how it's used and what iTunes is and how to download it and that for free :D ..I'm very interested in how people will accept this fact and how big a hole this cheaper one will end up being iPhone will do in our parts…
I just think it won't make a dent in our republic because it will cost 400 here. Euro+ VAT and it's not the cheapest, people want smartphonesone up to 8 thousand. So they reach for, for example, Galaxy S2. But everyone who has Android, I'm not sure if they will want to iOS to cross when "everything has to be paid for there".
As I have written several times. Pro Apple it is simply better from a business and psychology point of view. When you give people the phone they want at a similar price, when:
1. the phone will be an old 4S/5 (but I rather believe 4S) which will soon run out of sw upgrades
2. brand new phone iPhone Lite with old hw, where is the bigger sance for more support (because there is no telling how long it will last) Apple he will support)
People will take the old new. They won't take the old. Moreover, many people don't want iPhone precisely because of its advantages – glass, which is easier to break.
But the question is whether they will actually do it.
Nimrode: Agreed. If more people had OS X, I could send them Pages documents, I don't have to put it in doc, etc. ProI want as many people as possible to have that. Apple (and fortunately I work with people who at Apple is gradually transitioning/will start transitioning).
One more message: for me, for example, it's not that they are Apple the products are simply cool and I feel great having them. On the contrary, I didn't even notice that it was "something" more. Even though, for example, some people may like certain things, so I would say that a certain social status depends on a certain Applu? Hardly.
Na Apple I switched gradually over 25 months. December 2011 – iPad 2, Spring 2012 – iPhone 3GS; August 2012 – iPhone 4S; December 2012 – iMac and iPad Mini; January 2013 – Macbook Air and now I plan to buy iPhone 5 to Minihim, if he has Retina. But would I feel any way about it? No. I just didn't like anything I had before.
Na Windows I was cursing from the beginning of use. But about some alternative name Apple I didn't know at all. I just installed a slow software called QuickTime, which I then uninstalled. And somehow it got me to the page Apple.com, which I realized just in 2011, when I Fr Apple became somehow interested. And the cell phone? No. I didn't like talking on the phone, I didn't feel good or happy about it, writing messages on those keyboards (whether normal or qwertz).. nothing much. And a tablet? I've never seen anything like that, just pieces of s Windows XP, where there was a stylus for it. And to that I said: WHY?! And for such a price?
A Apple changed me in this. And I guess I am like that Apple a fanatic who tells everyone to switch :-)) until it became such an ironic phrase for any problem with some non-apple device. I realize that i Apple has flies. And I write about them. But, everything works. Fast, reliable. Well, unfortunately with iOS 6, the reliability has decreased incredibly, but it's still better than Android. And I'm completely satisfied. Immersed in the ecosystem. I just miss those people with Macs around. I have two people so far. That's not much. On the contrary, I wish it had Apple everyone, because this will make the whole community incl. developers to grow.
But of course I understand that there are people who buy branded things to look better. I know a few of them too. But I don't care what brand they want. I buy what suits me. Paradoxically, such stylish (un)brands //brands that are cool, for example, only in the Czech Republic// don't really suit my assortment.
I personally feel sorry for people who have to wear brands as proof of some social status, and we all should, because it's rather sad that they need brands to feel good about themselves.
PS: Of course, that doesn't mean that, for example, in the case of electronics, I don't go for brands, and thus I fully understand people who buy brands in a certain industry because they are passionate about it. For me, it's just the electronics.
Lukas, what's so wrong with you? iOS 6?
Come on :) Apple he will either gain an awful lot or lose something with this move :) I still hope they don't introduce him, but if I take it that way I was also afraid of the iPad mini and they pleasantly surprised me :) so if only that one iPhone lite will make it at least f*va worth it ;) especially when i read the comments about that apple the team gets more people into the user group applu that I will be able to send more people a message for free via iMessage so true, I'm glad I went into the conversation a fool and come out educated :) thank you LSA :)
iMacs: Macbook Air It is low-cost in its class. ProThe problem is that people don't compare comparables. Even though it's probably not what it used to be now, when it came to the market it created the market! And that applies to most Apple products. That now Apple Are the others catching up? Yes, but after how long? Macbook Air, Macbook RetinaThe iPad had no competition at the time of its release for that price. Within a year, the others caught up on paper, and within two years, they were competing on price.
… I'm sorry, but in almost every discussion you argue, and almost always the same people, sometimes someone new comes along and joins one side or the other of the argument … If you can argue because someone has just a slightly different opinion, then we can't be surprised that there is such a mess in the Czech Republic. Can you have a serious discussion? I would like to know what you think about this or something else, but stick to the topic, for such discussions you have forums where you can argue until hallelujah, from the article that announced the boxes found by iPhone 5C and 60+ comments, where most people are arguing, I won't learn anything and it won't help me.
Sorry for this offtopic comment, but I have been a long time reader of this blog, I even smiled at first, but this is too much!
And for people who are new, I recommend reading older articles so they can understand that Mr. Zavřel using iPhone 1 to 2 times a week, so he doesn't really need it ;) But don't comment on it and take it as it is, I won't use 4Sko in the summer either...
Lukáš, buy a TV Apple TV. That little €100 box will incredibly increase your enjoyment of the ecosystem, plus if you also connect speakers, you will not only stream photos, videos, or get some services to your TV, you will be able to enjoy music like never before :) Give it to me and you'll see ;)
So a good discussion arose here…. I'm having a lot of fun reading it here... :D
Well, considering the shape of the box and the outrageous amount of information and photos regarding iPhone lite(C) it's already pathetic to think about whether this product will be released.
How do I see it?
I honestly don't care at all, I'll buy a 5S(6?) and it will be :)
I don't understand the dilemma that some people are doing here, but whatever, it's still better than reading about Bartoš's activities on Blesk.
@Roman: I quite like it LSA, I like to see what someone writes here in the discussion. But I can't help but write that some of your comments like clothes - watches - shoes... tell me only one thing: you may already have a wife, but you're still young and you don't have any other real worries, and I mean the child / children.
If it comes (and I believe it will, you will find out that the PRADA shoes and €700 handbags for the wife were complete (sorry for the expression) bullshit.
PS I mean it well. Peace.
So, I'll join the discussion:
Regarding Macbook Air, yes, it is low-cost, by American standards (if the average person in the USA earns approx. 4500$/month), then in 3 months he must have an MBA. It's worse in European conditions, it's a totally different situation from country to country, and that's why you don't have to earn even the most basic MBA, in Slovakia the average salary is €700, the real one is around €500, this amount is already on the verge and a person with such a salary will definitely not be able to afford an MBA for €1300 and won't earn from it even in a year.
As for the ego and things around it, I have people around me who have money Apple but they don't appreciate the fact that it is, by Slovakian standards, an expensive thing, and that it costs someone's salary. The worst situation is for those who have to have the latest version of the iPhone, because they simply have to have it.
I personally don't have it yet Apple product but I want to upgrade to the latest MBP po this year keynoteI did it for him.
What do I think about iPhone 5C/Lite and its brother iPhone 5S/6: If cheaper iPhone will have the same guts as iPhone 4S a iPhone 5S/6 will not have super-cool-mega features, the more expensive version will be undermined.
(truthfully, what else can we expect from a higher version of the iPhone? Moreover, there is no rumor or hearing about it.)
Everyone is looking forward to iPhone 5C, but it will cost maybe 50-80€ less than 4S, which is a nice amount, but for a mobile for 550€ it is almost nothing. (If a person has to pay an extra €50-80 for quality, he will do it).
Final thought: If he wanted to Apple to expand into poorer countries, it would be enough to reduce the margin on products, or drop the American rule of 1€ = 1$, but that would suffer investors' profits, I suppose.
70 posts means a controversial topic. As I read it, I see in it a lot of material for a "dissertation" on the subject of "man". :-)

Good day gentlemen, a FEMALE is missing from the discussion.
