Most News Sources Say: iPhone 5c Will Sell Like Hot Cakes!

Were all a little skeptical at first when it comes “plastic” products.  This iPhone 5c is the first of the plastic products to hit shelves since the begin of the iPhone 3G/3GS.  We still are a little skeptical, however people are saying that this new iPhone 5c isn’t your normal iPhone!  In fact people seem to say that it will be a hit!

I think that the iPhone 5c will in fact sell fast!  The reviews bellow confirm this projection on Apple’s sales.

To date, Apple’s choice of materials has been one of its prime differentiating factors, at least from an aesthetics point of view, vs. the Android crop of competitors. So does dipping back into a polycarbonate shell threaten the image Apple has tried so hard to cultivate?

The answer is a resounding ‘No.’ Apple notes that the iPhone 5c is actually polycarbonate because it wanted to get the colors just right, and doing so in metal just wasn’t feasible. Further, it points out that there’s a steel frame (which doubles as an antenna) girding that polycarbonate shell, which results in a phone that feels sturdy in the hand, without the flex or perceived fragility of other plastic device designs.

We’re not going to lie. The iPhone 5c is gorgeous – we’d even argue that it’s the most beautiful iPhone since the 4 and 4s. It instantly makes the iPhone 5 and 5s look staid in comparison.

Sure, we prefer materials like aluminum and glass over plastic, and we appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that goes into building the iPhone 5 and 5s, but still, we can’t help it – the 5c just triggers some reptilian part of our brains that screams, “OMG, color!”

The budget model, the new iPhone 5C, comes in five colors ($100 for the 16-gigabyte model with a two-year contract, $550 without). It’s essentially identical to last year’s iPhone 5, except that its back and sides are a single piece of plastic instead of metal and glass.Actually, “plastic” isn’t quite fair. The 5C’s case is polycarbonate, lacquered like a glossy piano. Better yet, its back edges are curved for the first time since the iPhones of 2008. You can tell by touch which way it’s facing in your pocket.

It’s a terrific phone. The price is right. It will sell like hot cakes; the new iPhones go on sale Friday. But just sheathing last year’s phone in shiny plastic isn’t a stunning advance.

There is absolutely no give to this phone at all. It doesn’t bend or buckle anywhere in the casing, which is what you want, obviously. It feels as solid as the 5s.

The iPhone 5c doesn’t actually feel like plastic. It’s strange when you first pick it up, but it almost feels like ceramic or a similar material that is glossy and hard. The manufacturing process that Apple used to make this phone and the metal reinforcement it used in the plastic casing certainly worked on making this phone tough.

As you can see people are excited about “color” not only are they excited, but they are ready to buy the 5c.  They think it will sell like crazy!

Do you think it will sell like crazy?  I personally think that the colors and the plastic is a great idea.  You do remember how well the iPhone 3G and 3GS sold per smartphone user.  They sold very good even compared with todays smartphone sales retrospectively.  Yes the iPhone 3G was relatively new, but the plastic didn’t detour people from stacking up in front of Apple stores to snatch the next in-stock unit!  I project that the iPhone 5c will sell equally as well.
