What's the most expected smartphone in September. It is said that there will be two iPhones release on September 10th. This post today is going to talk about more news for the cheap iPhone -- iPhone 5C.
Suggesting that the rumored plastic iPhone 5C will come in a rainbow of colors, new leaked photos show what looks like Apple smartphone packaging in pink, yellow, blue, and green.
According to 9to5Mac, which scoured the Web for alleged iPhone 5C images, the site iApps.im published a handful of photos of the rumored device's new packaging. These photos show high-tech plastic boxes encasing iPhones in several colors. The packages are also emblazoned with the words "iPhone 5C." Apparently, people have also posted similar packaging photos to the Chinese blogging site Weibo.
The iPhone 5C is Apple's alleged upcoming low-cost smartphone. The device is said to have a plastic back rather than aluminum and will come in an array of colors. The smartphone is rumored to cost between $349 and $399 without a contract.
It's unclear if the iApps.im photos are indeed showcasing the packages for the alleged iPhone 5C. Over the past few weeks, several photo and video leaks hinting at the new phone have surfaced on the Web. Throughout August, photos of the rumored phone's plastic casing and components have emerged, along with a video of the device's back housing.
It's said that Apple plans to debut both the supposed next generation iPhone 5S and the new lower-cost iPhone 5C at an event on September 10.

What's the Point of iPhone 5C: Replace iPhone 5 NOT iPhone 4S.
Apple's iPhone 5C might not be a "low end" product after all.
If the long-rumored device launches later this year, as expected, the iPhone 5C will actually be considered a midrange product and replace the iPhone 5, KGI Securities analyst and longtime Apple follower Ming-Chi Kuo wrote to investors on Monday, according to AppleInsider, which obtained a copy of the report. The iPhone 4S, which many believed would be killed off by the iPhone 5C, will live on, Kuo claims.
Apple's iPhone 5C has been rumored to be in the works for months. The device was initially believed to be a low-end product that would compete with cheaper handsets. The handset is expected to ship with a 4-inch display and come with a plastic casing in several different colors.
If Kuo is correct, however, the plan wouldn't address one issue that would have been solved by replacing the iPhone 4S: Apple's need to build and provide legacy connectors. The iPhone 4S works with the old 30-pin connector. If the iPhone 5C were to replace the iPhone 4S, Apple would finally be able to ditch the 30-pin option and bring its Lightning port to all of its current smartphones.
Kuo, who has been one of the more reliable Apple handicappers in the past, isn't convinced by that line of thinking. He believes that Apple sees more upside in delivering the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, and iPhone 4S alongside each other.
So, how will all of those products fare? According to AppleInsider, Kuo said in his note that he expects Apple to ship 8.4 million iPhone 5C units this fiscal quarter. However, Kuo said that some issues with building the iPhone 5S will mean that handset will be limited to 5.2 million unit shipments.
Looking ahead, Kuo argues that the iPhone 5S will eventually outsell the iPhone 5C, adding that Apple could ship as many as 28 million iPhone 5S units during the last quarter of the year.
Apple, of course, hasn't confirmed anything Kuo has said, and likely won't until next month. The company is expected to hold a special event unveiling its new iPhone line on September 10.
