It is indeed a replacement for the iPhone 5.
Not sure if Apple will discontinue the iPhone 5 run.

I'm guessing RM1899 and RM2299
Prices in China are RM2380 and RM2850 respectively for 16gb based on RM0.53 per RMB

Technically I think it's a downgrade if someone switches from the 5 to the 5C.

Yeah. Totally agree to that.
But IMO the value of the 5 will increase.
As not only is the 5S of the same look, the materials used to make it is superior to plastic.

I believe the 5C is targeted at the younger demographic. My sister of age 15 has already asked me to get her the red 5C even after I offered to get her the 5S.

Even if you give me a choice I can't make up my mind. I'm the kind that loves to switch casings daily.
If I had to choose one casing it'd be as if i were stuck with the color permanently. So probably white.

But honestly 5C still looks ok. Will have to experience the real thing to find out how it feels in the hand.

Bummer. Can't make up my mind what color of the 5C to get. Saw the models in store, the backs seem like real fingerprint magnets.

Anyway, 5C user reporting in. Lol.
Had to get the 5C as Gold/Silver for 5S not available here.
Not too bad la the 5C. Feels ok.

Have u got yours? I've got mine. Blue lol.

Lol interesting. But expected anyway.
Yeah temporary use the 5C first. But now tempted to buy green unit as well.
Looks so youthful. Suitable for old man who's trying to look young like me

5S probably will launch at same price as 5 in Malaysia.
5C I'm expecting it to be at RM1899.
I got mine from China at RM2350 after conversion rates.
The 5S is about RM2750 here.

Why don't you make a specific question?
In general everything is not bad.

Honestly speaking all colors are interesting. Also had a hard time choosing when I made my purchase.

Though I'm having the blue unit now, I'm pressed on getting the lime green unit as it's just so striking

As for those who wanna match with casings, the white unit will be the most compatible with all sorts of casings.

Please refrain from discussing the 5S here. The 5S thread already contain tons of rubbish posts. I hope the rubbish won't spread here. If you wanna discuss about the price of 5S go ahead and do so in the 5S thread.

Here's a pic of my 5C

Back side looks good too

Feels different. The 5C feels more solid compared to the 3GS.
Plus you do know most 3GS suffer from cracks here and there don't you?
I doubt the same will happen to the 5C

Nice one bro.
There's barely any casings available for the 5C in the market right now.
And I'm talking about China, where most casings are produced.
I'm waiting for the official "lubang-lubang" casing to be released to the Apple Stores here.
Wanna buy that

Not sure but currently the variations in China itself are scarce.
IMO the cases do not fit well with the 5C in terms of outlook.
The colored back of the 5C is enough for it to look like a case.
Putting another on looks like the phone is on 2 casings lol
