Nope, point your browser at the Apple site and you will see it stands for "colourful".

Agreed. It's surely a sign of how the mobile networks have indoctrinated the masses to believe they are getting something for nothing (they really aren't) when people genuinely believe they are getting a phone allied to a 24 month contract for nowt lol.

I agree, but it's even worse in the US. During the Apple news conference, I watched a live blog by some US journalists who referred to the prices as $99, $199 and $299, with no mention of an obligatory expensive monthly contract attached to these low prices.

So the iPhone 5s has a finger print scanner to verify who you are and unlock your phone?

Will the iPhone 6 require a blood sample before you can unlock or log in to your phone?

Also The M7 Chip uses GPS to keep track of the activities you're doing*

Overpriced apple products are not moneysaving. A pointless article to draw traffic from trending keywords.

Looking forward to treating myself to an iPhone 5s. Loved my iPhone 4s until I broke it

I'm weighing up what to do now-soming to the end of a 24 month £25 pm contract with "Free" iphone 3gs. Due to expire 6/10/13 so hoping the 4s goes right down in price for contracts so I can keep a similar priced dea. unfortunately due to signal, I can't move from Orange/EE!

I can easily imagine Apple wanted the 5 to vanish due to the 4G compatibility issues it has on O2/Vodafone. I also thought the iPad 3 was pulled due to the charging port change on the iPhone 5. The 5C is certainly not a great budget phone. Internally it is on par with say a Galaxy S4 Mini albeit smaller but looks wise it looks like a toy. iOS7 doesn't help it look premium. The 5S just isn't worth the money either. The price has went up £20 for a fingerprint keypad unlock.

I would be hunting for price drops on remaining iPhone 5 and iPhone 4 models or look to switch manufacturer. Samsung, Nokia and HTC all start slashing their handset costs 6-10 months after launch. The 4S launched in 2011 and is still close to £400.

You might want to take that back.
