“We’ve recently obtained a high definition video of what may be Apple’s iPhone 5S and 5C,” Dom Esposito reports for AppAdvice.
“This video provides a detailed comparison of the two devices alongside the iPhone 5,” Esposito reports. “As shown in the video, the back inlay on the gold/champagne iPhone 5S has enough room to accommodate the rumored dual LED flash, but aside from its color, there’s not much of a difference when compared to the iPhone 5.”
Esposito reports, “The ‘iPhone’ text appears to be a bit thinner on the rumored 5S when compared to the iPhone 5, but its font matches the text found on the blue iPhone 5C.”

Is Apple just letting this stuff leak to keep investors and media quiet on the “Apple can’t innovate” front?
Or was it really the fear of Jobs that kept suppliers more or less in-line?
Wel, there was a fear of Jobs.
This is definitely an intentional Apple leak. Who else could do this?
Why would they make a big deal about the phrase “Designed by Apple in California”, and then just leave it off?
It is not a big deal.
That phrase has just been a part of Apple as long as I have known them. That’s a long time let me tell ya! Maybe someone can chime in and say how long that has been a part of Apple.
The phrase is a matter of pride that touches back to the “incubation in a California garage” day’s…a “roots” kind of thing. It is also an extension to “Think differently”. Nothing more!
It is only a big deal to those who think it’s a recent thing adopted to take advantage of some sort or another.
Assuming these are legit, does the gold one have a different camera flash hole or is it just me? It looks more oval where the other two are round.
Definitely different, and why? I can’t see a reason for that. The three cases should be functionally identical. Now, the poly ones, that’s another story!
The 5S, supposedly, has a oval cut out for a dual flash. Makes sense that a 5C would have a single, less expensive, flash.
Instead of oval (egg-shaped), a graphic artist would likely call that shape a rounded rectangle, and a mathematician might see it as a hyperellipse.
The black and silver ones are current production iPhone 5 models. The tell-tale is they have the regulatory approval symbology already on the case, whereas the gold one does not. Still could be an elaborate misdirection.
I’m still on the fence with these leaks…I don’t know why I can’t convince myself that its true…yet.
I just don’t like the fact that they used white spacers on the gold phone, the same as the white aluminum. Couldn’t they make a two tone gold version?
They put so much effort to make it look like a $650 phone and then cheapen the product by using the same spacers as the white.
Was the original white iPhone delay debacle so terrible that they will never make another color other than white and black, or are they just pinching pennies relying on economy of scale.
Whatever the reason, I can’t believe that they think “white” is the best option to go with any two tone product color that isn’t black. I thought it cheapened the look of the newer color iPod touches, and I think it cheapens the look of the 5S.
/end rant
You may be thinking that Apple would not go cheap and tawdry with 5C. I’m with you on that. But think of Apple redefining those terms. That’s what they do, isn’t it—redefine terms?
Not cheap: affordable. Not tawdry: showy. Happy colours for happy folks, severe colours for those with a serious mission in life. I really want to see Apple pursue this sort of diversity of temperament, never mind any imagined one-world political fantasy.
I don’t know about you, but that blue polycarbonate case, turns me off. I have to see it fully assembled before I can dig it.
3D Printer.
It’s not a “made for public” video, I can say that because with all the money Apple has they and Sir Ive would have never approved such a rough hand model, which then leads me to question how legit the whole thing is!
Nobody is claiming this video is Apple-produced.
The phones are just gorgeous. Like high tech fine jewelry. The 5c looks cool too.
I laugh at all the apple followers who are digging the new gold iPhone. If Samsung did this, people would be trashing them and making tasteless jokes. Apple does it and its somehow cool? You need to put down the Kool-Aid folks-
Yes, Apple followers like to trash Samsung and make tasteless jokes, and there is a Kool-Aid involved with some of them. People are fallible, gullible, take sides. Hypocrisy is universal. Massive protests are planned, film at eleven.
Any other breaking news to report?
I really like that champagne gold.
All of the 5S phones look great. The 5C’s not so great IMHO. If the colors we’ve so far seen are actual product, it’s obvious Apple is using color as a major product differentiator. A black 5C would outsell all of the other 5Ç colors (excluding perhaps white) combined. Apple could darken the colors in the next iteration of the 5C. I’d prefer a dark blue over light blue. But that’s just my preference (I understand fully respect that others can have different tastes from mine).
Wait.. nevermind.. I looked at the video again and now like the light blue color, but yellow is an absolute NO GO for the moment…
Not real crazy about the colors on the 5C iPhones but will have to wait until September 10 to see what they really look like. My guess is that they won’t look too cheesy unless Apple wants them to. They are after all designed for a certain market segment. But I would still think that Apple would try to make them as appealing as possible. And classy. They are after all going to have less features so I would think that that appearance would still be important. But there’s a lot of marketing strategy and psychology baked into the 5C. I too believe that a black 5C would outsell all the colors. And maybe they will make it?
Count me among the skeptical. Get Mertz to find a video that also shows the screens of the phones. This is a third-rate fraud.
Look more like Nokia Lumia…… Is this the next iPhone as”S” series?
interesting .. but that music has to go
The NSA in conjunction with the FBI Digital Forensic Dept has annualized the video and have been able to identify the person holding the iPhone parts by their reflection in those parts.
It’s Jon Ives!
