John Elerick and his band of merry men (and women) have an amusing banned iPhone 5C promo video posted today that is worth the click to check out.

LOLed at the Nokia reference.
Brought to brink of bankrupcy by being tied to Windows phone, losing 900 million bucks a year - and then after value crashed, hijacked by Microsoft.
And still has a massive war chest as well that you apple fans overlook. 900 million write down bothers the masses not Micro$, that just made them a good excuse to throw Balmer out. Many here don't understand Micro$ & Nokia I see. If Micro$ turns around and buys Blackberry then **** just got real.
To be honest, the S4 wasn't a major upgrade over the S3 either. However, this is funny though, b/c Apple did almost nothing to distinguish these new versions.
Phone debates.
Irrationally angry response
Heck I switched to an Android because the iPhone 4 was pretty much identical to the 3GS in everything but appearance.
I think the usage of the term "banned" has gone into full retard mode.
No one cares about Windows Phone. No one will care. It's basically dead in the water.
It is a stupid platform that requires its own app format.
Also everything about windows phone from a dev perspective is horrible. You can't even use the SDK without win 8
Which excludes most enterprise use since a lot of companies are still on 7. And the only people still really developing on monoculture platforms like winphone/.net/etc are the enterprise users. They've shot themselves in the foot entirely.
Eating a grape voraciously.Ridiculous accusations and questioning of your sexuality.

The 5c is a step up from my 4 so I for one will be glad to get it.
minus antenna gate the iPhone 4 was a great release. I used it for a year before handing off to my wife and really loved the experience.Actually the 3GS -> 4, was just about the iPhone (possibly any smartphones) biggest generational jump ever.

And no, buying blackberry doesn't help them at all.
It's Android and iOS until something comes along that drastically changes the developer model or shares apps with other ecosystems.

MS is and will continue to be a sidenote in the mobile world.
I'm inclined to agree. Not on the grounds that the 5s's performance advantage is going to be all that important, or that the fingerprint sensor is all that important, but on the grounds that the 5s is significantly thinner and significantly lighter than the 5c (smaller than the 5c in all dimensions, in fact). It should also resale better than the 5c. Perhaps not by a $100 margin, but by something notable.
Unless you particularly like the design of the 5c and its color availability, I don't see anything particularly compelling about it.
This is how I feel...$550 off contract straight up for the iPhone 5C? Give me a break! You can get a FLAWLESS used iPhone 5...or probably even a new iPhone 5...for the exact same price or maybe even cheaper.
Or just spend the extra $100 and get a 5S...I mean, I don't like to make assumptions but if you're dropping $550 already then is $100 more really THAT much? I wouldn't think it is...
