| ![]() iphone 5S is out I guess but not directly, just met one of my office collegues and he had the phone in his hand. He had somehow managed to get one in his hand through some channels I believe. The price of 16gb phone is 54K. Looks similar to the iphone 5 except the change in the center button which looks different and houses the finger print scanner aswell.

| ![]() I visited a apple store during a recent visit to US. When holding a 5c, you dont feel like like you are holding a Iphone. With only a $100 price difference, buying a 5S over a 5c is a no-brainer decision and it probably explains why 5S is outselling 5c by a big margin. |

| ![]() Apple iphone has always been significant as a premium phone and thats the way it has been designed in terms of looks and feels. Now moving that entire experience to a plastiky feel is an insult to the whole desgin element brain which thought of it as a product IMHO. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() My iPhone 5 32GB version is hanging almost daily with the screen becoming non-responsive. The solution is to restart the phone. So much for buying a premium smart phone. I am really frustrated. |

| ![]() Checked out the iPhone 5s and 5c at the Apple Store here in Singapore. The look and feel of the 5s was as expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by the 5c. It really did not look/feel cheap. I really liked the one in white. In the stock form (without any extra cover) probably the 5c maybe more easy to maintain than the metallic finish of 5s. |

I am however surprised at the pricing of Iphone 5C. It is higher than flaghips of all mobile makers I think (Samsung, Sony, LG) | |

| ![]() Ouch! 54k for a phone. That is going to hurt :(. Sigh, I guess I will get an iPhone 5 for 42k now :(. The INR-USD fiasco is killing everything. |

For 12K difference in India, the 5C is actually a good option (compared with the 5S) considering that it’s essentially the 5 with a plastic casing. | |

| ![]() Yup 5C is definitely a better option meanwhile. I did a quick check of Airtel site price is not mentioned anywhere? Where are these priced mentioned for India? Any reliable sources? Or is it just speculation. |
