Buy samsung lah better for ur dad imo.
I bought galaxy mega for my dad.
Besar ma..orang tua rabun dekat.
Btw if 5c range rm1300-1400 i will buy.
If more 1500-1800? Better buy 5s!

what is the purpose of selling 5c? pushing the market to 5s? if the price gap is near, people might just go for 5s

Will the iPhone 5C be able to play Clash of Clan?

From calculation:-

Got 2 possibility:-

Option A


Option B


Which Option you like?

We'll 5c is for someone that haven't owned an iphone or upgrading from older devices... Except 4 colours... I'll just keep my 5 for next year refresh... 5c is definitely too expensive 4 last year specs...

Option A or Option B or both also expensive?

how do you know?
You are converting from sgd?

Dont waste money guys, 5C and 5S is so dissapointing.. Apple bumped up 5S price, comparing with iPhone 5, and introduce slightly cheaper 5C, to make it looks like its a budget phone.

I rather wait for iPhone 6 with better screen, grab a Nexus 4 at the moment which is <rm1k until iPhone 6 is out

5s cant be 2149 imo. Thats too cheap for iphone 5s but too expensive for 5c. They claimed that its budget phone but the price is just like iphone 5.

Apple never claim 5C is budget phone.

my guess is:

5c 16GB 1899
5c 32GB 2099?

5s 16gb 2199
5s 32gb 2499
64gb 2799

Apple is really smart and this is exactly Apple's style.
Did Apple ever say they are going to launch a Cheap iPhone?
It's all our guess. You want cheap iphone? go for ip4s 8GB.
Taking away ip5 and launch ip5c, this will stir up the market whereby a lot of ppl can "see" it instead of just drop ip5's price whereby no one realize it. I believe the case of ip5 is more costly, therefore with this strategic, they can save more even they drop the price.

Therefore if you prefer ip5, then either wait for the telco to drop the price and faster grab one.

btw from a lot of review, the plastic cover doesn't makes you feel "cheap"

For those of you who missed last night's keynote:

u copy my pricing of option B

looks like nokia windows phone

mebe c is not stand for cheap..its for color.

budget phone?go for 4s..hahahhahaha

But if they dont discontinue i5 this model will be selling for RM1799 now.

Still cheaper than 5c.

In before premium plastic is more expensive and heavier......

i like the idea of 5c. design is nice and anodized aluminum on i5 are too prone to scratches and dents. however the way the play with the pricing to deceive consumers are slightly ignorant. But FACT is people are still going to buy it.

Iphone 5 owner here. The finger sensor thingy is quite cool. Overall, i quite satisfied with the phone since the phone is freaking faster, improved camera and overall i'm loving ios 7. But i probably will wait for iphone 6 though.haha

Cheap material, cheap packaging but not so cheap price. If they follow previous business model by selling last year model side by side with the latest one , the better iPhone 5 will be priced the same with this cheapo phone. The only reason they produce this model is to maintain(maybe increase) their profit margin.
