G+_George Kozi Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Quick and serious question: can you see a guy carrying one of those C things? Or is this the phone for 13 year old schoolgirls?? Seriously, can you see a man pulling out an iPhone C out of his pocket in a bar?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Aaron Fischer Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yeah kids toy. What the point is of a color if they sale a colored case I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zulhaimi Abdul Hamid Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Overly colourful. Moto X colours have more class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_George Kozi Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 yeah... that must be it. lol. Listen, I hoped they would do well, because we need them to do well in order to keep all the other companies sharp. But... not willing to see when something is plain ugly and puerile, and putting it down to a Dr. Phil analysis, isn't healthy. When Google came out with the Q, a.k.a. "Google Balls" that was pointed out also. It's about taste. My taste would forbid me to carry an apple green phone with pink polka dots on the back. I 'm indeed sensitive that way...

G+_Paul Comeau Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 George Kozi Well my take is sure you dislike them, but that doesn't translate to the markets reaction. They just came out, wait and see. Color wise I find them just fine. If they had the A7 chip I would consider it for the money savings. But I don't feely my take will represent the market either, I'm only one data point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 they probably will do well. The kids will like it. But that wasn't what I asked at the beginning of the post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looks to me like they are going after the windows phone/ nokia lumia phone market. Nice that they are going after the 4% manufacturer instead of the 40% manufacturer. Visually I think it isn't bad. Of course I'm not buying it because of the apple logo.

G+_A.J. Bobo Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think Apple must be going back to that audience that wanted iMacs in all kinds of weird colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's not the colors that I find irritating. Colors are ok. It's just the pallet of colors they went for. It's all bubble-gummy and looks like something My Little Pony barfed up. The phone in off itself may actually be good... it's the packaging that sucks. And they made it so that for "mature" colors, you got to go to the more expensive model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Morrison Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 George Kozi I just figure if you want "mature" colors you spend a few extra dollars and buy a case off amazon. That can also make it waterproof, or more battery charge etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Vick Khera Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I kind of want a red one. But I'll get the 5s for the tech... I guess I'm not manly enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Vick Khera If you have stopped after saying "I kind of want a red one. But I'll get the 5s for the tech... " , it would have been a perfect comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daryl Hunt Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Most people put their Iphone in a case anyway so I don't think it is a big deal. Anyway the colours are not that bad. Can I see a man pulling out an Iphone 5c?, yes I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dave Trautman Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 George. You and I are just old. That's all. What my eyes like in the way of colour has long ago been abandoned by those who run the show today. Stand in the hallway of your local University and watch all the colour walking around. Youth want more colour. They also like to appear different. If their phone attracts attention to them, while they attract attention on Twitter, then it's just better. I am always surprized when I am outside of my own region of the world; the demand for colour in everything is much higher elsewhere. Central America and South America come to mind, but Asia is big on colour too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
