“Sonny Dickson, an iOS developer from Melbourne, Australia, has had quite a week’s worth of iPhone photo leaks,” Anthony Wing Kosner reports for Forbes. “Dickson does seem to have hit the mother lode of supply chain leaks and made as convincing case as we are bound to get before September 10 for the colors that the two anticipated iPhone models will come in.”
“As previously discussed, the iPhone 5S will apparently come in black/slate, silver/white and the new white/gold (or champagne),” Kosner reports. “Dickson’s leaked image below shows the whole line.”
Kosner reports, “As for the less expensive plastic iPhone 5C, multiple sources reinforce what Dickson shows below, that the colors will be a pinkish red, a bright yellow, a lime green and cyan blue and white.”
Kosner writes, “The big story here is how Apple is using color to telegraph a diversity of use cases.”

Black all the way for me…
…that’s what she said.
Who? Oprah?
Airplane.
Like my coffee…
Sure. I asked for that didn’t I??
LMMFAO!!!!! 😂
We really don’t know what color is on the front, but, I have to admit, if the “gold” is actually a very muted champagne color, it might make a nice change especially if Vaja comes out with leather colors to complement the color. It could be then, both estrogenic and testosteronic. The back will more than likely be covered up with a case, anyway.
In the USA, except for children and some women, who would want a 5C anyway. The 5S is the only way to go. Orientals love bright colors, on the whole, so it should do well overseas. Have to wait and see!
I agree. The pastel colors are likely to be for the Asian market (hello, China!!) and will do well in that part of the world
I wonder whether the 5C will even be available for purchase in Europe and the US.
My iPhone 5 is already a champagne/light gold colour. Somebody asked me if it was a new colour the other day day, no I replied, it’s just nicotine stains on the clear plastic cover 🙂
i feel it will be the pure white
look here,

anodized aluminum edges on iPhone
of a second tone to match the back panels
the champagne gold back gains anodized gold edges too
white remains white, enhanced with tones of gold
black remains black , enhanced with tones of platinum grey
sorry to JUMP IN,
there will be only two iPhone 5s colour offerings.
The White will gain a new champagne gold backing while the Black will receive a new silver grey back.

It makes sense, Apple is keeping White and Black models yet the mid-back panel both get colour adjustments – refreshing and sophisticated changes.
the new BLACK iPhone 5s gets far more sophisticated.

I can not let my granddaughter see the pics of the 5c. She will drive hero their nuts.
Your grand-daughter sounds very….free spirited.
(or maybe a mis-type?)
“She will drive hero their nuts.”
I hate when that happens.
She will drive her parents nuts?
Wrong “here” link on this article.
Gold 5s for me !
I’m HOPING that they revive the Colors commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcBpXYI1r3Q) which was used for the original colored iMacs.
It would great to see the iPhone 5Cs dancing around to the Rolling Stones song.
Girly-girl colors.
Would a Zune brown be masculine enough for you?
Compare those 5C colours to those of the early iMacs. By comparison, these look naff and cheapjack, and I can’t really believe Apple would release something looking like those alleged iPhone 5C pix. Now, the 5S ones, they look very cool and believable, and I’d be torn between the black and the champagne.
We will just have to see what the colors look like in person.
Because, well, obviously these pictures were taken under studio conditions. 😛
5S and 5C are two different markets. Have you ever taken the trouble to look at the sort of after-market cases people put their iPhones into?
I agree with u on the 5c colors.. They look very cheap in the photo.
But one can not be sure if these are the real thing!? Hope not.
I have seen other alleged photos that show much nicer color tones and saturation … And hint at a bit of a metlic efffect as well. Hope thise are closer to reality.
At the end of the day one would think apple has done their home work before locking down the color choice! ( i hope !?)
If this is true, I’m surprised they don’t have basic black for the 5C. If someone can only afford a 5C and is looking for a phone that is unassuming, they really don’t have much of an option.
Wow, I read your post and then went back and took a look at those colors and you are right. They are chick colors.
Add in that iOS 7 looks like it was designed for your pre-teen girls and I see a windows 8 type disaster in the works for Apple.
Give me a profesional looking interface please…
They’re very similar to the ipod mini colors. Apple will be fine and will sell boatloads plus you haven’t seen them in person I’m sure Apple knows better than you do
Apple needs a gold 5C for the Asian market.
Girly colors, but no pink?
I want PINK!
Pearl-Pink!
Oh well…they made iOS 7 girly so it makes sense that they would release girly-colored phones…
Talk to your doctor about lowering your Axiron prescription.
Talk to your about brain having an intelligent response…if it’s capable
iOS is not girly. You have not seen the finished product, but from yhr or tires we have seen, nothing girly about it. Can anyone, in their right mind, take the pastel”ish” background and picture it in gray, black and dark any blue? Pastels only give us the ability to see the icons.
But like so much that’s Apple, there are many naysayers, but they buy them anyway, love them and tell everyone how great it is. Besides, the wallpaper/background colors do not an OS make. What it does and how well is what, or should be be the overwhelming factor in deciding to upgrade to iOS 7 or not.
Should have read, “but from the pictures we have seen.”
Sorry for my not looking up at the page when typing.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that’s perfectly fine. IOS 7 is not only girly IMO, it is quite ugly and an unnecessarily radical departure from the design philosophy of its predecessors. Add to that the fact that most of what has been included in this “upgrade” I have been doing for years via the jailbreak community (Control Center? SBS Settings anyone???) and it all adds up to a big fat “no thank you” for me. But to each his own…
The 5C will open up a whole new market segment for Apple. I’m sure they have priced it to maintain a lower but decent margin. Just like the iPad mini it will take the wind out of the sails for many competitors.
We have to accept that the phone market is more competitive that the music player market was and that Android has provided a platform for cheap smartphones. However with more cost effective iPhone models Apple can start chipping away at the remaining profits in the middle price segment and make it very hard for competitors to make any money.
Well stated.
Anyone have the right link to post?
There is nothing new here, we have seen those shells before.
Now this is new – even if the photos come from some early test.
No way would they treat production samples like that.
http://www.nowhereelse.fr/photo-iphone-5c-test-87564/
The white 5C is going to be out of stock almost immediately after launch.
Atrocious 5c, what the fuck?
The ‘5C’ colours are awful in my opinion, black logo also doesn’t look too great either. Why not have some strong colours, instead of an entire range of pastils for instance; a deep red (Audi Mizano Red), vibrant blue (volvo electric blue), Yellow (ferrari) etc… oh and a chrome Apple logo would look ten fold better too…
The 5C colors are meant to limit their sales. If they turn out to be the real deal it’s a thrust to the heart of all the good industrial design put forth by Apple since the dual USB iBook in 2001. It’s enough to gag a maggot.
Not sure I’m buying the all of the 5C photos…
There are several different varieties of pictures. Some with chrome Apple logos and some with black logos and very few of them seem to have any FCC (or any other) approval markings. Doesn’t seem quite right for photos of supposedly “production” units (complete with protective film applied to them)
In a quick glance over I noted many “inconsistencies”in that photo of a “supposed” bin of (white plastic) iPhone 5c retail packaging that point to compositing (i.e. faked)
Until the Hello Kitty edition comes out, no sale from me! 😉
MacBook Air must be very cool!. What do you think guys?.
I meant, a gold MacBook Air is cool.
That “iPhone 5C” photo looks so fake. I mean, why in the world are they shrink-wrapped together? As someone else said – no FCC registration info? A blue background that is the same color as the blue phone? Who would have these phones that would exhibit/ship them that way? There’s no way that anyone at Apple would even SHIP iPhones in such an ugly way. Haven’t we all been impressed by the presentation of Apple packaging?
They may come in those colors (or similar colors), but that photo seems to be a mock-up of some sort by someone who doesn’t really get Apple.
Those are just the rear cases – they are not finished production yet. One supplier is probably making the case, then shipping it to another supplier to assemble it. These are “in process” photos of the rear cases only. You can clearly see the blue background though the hole for the camera on the white one.
The “packaging” you’re seeing is probably some sort of film to protect the cases from scratches during transportation until they’re assembled.
Why has nobody bothered to post the correct link to this article yet?

What if the plan is this –
iPhone5C – 5 colors – 2 capacities (8Gb & 16Gb)
iPhone5S – 2 colors (black & white) – 3 capacities (16Gb, 32Gb, 64Gb)
iPhone5G – 1 color (gold) – 1 capacity 128Gb
I wonder which one Donald Trump will get? hahahaha
