I don't think they are selling the 5c as a discount phone. More like the Mini they are just trying to reinvigorate and extend the market of their product.
The iPhone 5C was a big mistake by Apple

When will y'all understand that apple is not interested in the race to the bottom? Apple has cemented itself as a premium brand, and as long as people continue to pay premium money for their products they have no incentives to sell $200 phones and tablets. There's no price war to win when carriers are signing 20 Billion dollar contracts to buy your phones. They're basically sold before they're even manufactured. The same rules that apply to other phone OEMS don't apply to apple. You want a cheaper iPhone or a an iPhone that's free on contract? Well you can always have the model from 3 years ago.
To those who think the 5C is or was supposed to be a "cheaper" or "discount" iPhone, it's not and it was never meant to be. It's the same as all the other predecessors before it, $100 cheaper than the newer model.

They didn't even change the design of the 5S. It looks just like the iPhone 5. How am I supposed to know who I'm better than?
you get the gold one
my wife got the 5C. its faster than 5 with a better processor. battery life is better, and it doesn't feel as cheap as I thought it would. still, I didn't cop one, I got the 5S

Question for y'all...a nikka got bad credit, but I want to cop the IPhone 5S straight out, no contract, unlocked. If I do that from Apple and get the one with T-Mobile sim card, T-Mobile has to provide me service with little to no deposit right? I'm 
in the cell phone game. Haven't bought a phone in three years, and it was on contract.

Apple has never said the C is a "mid range" device, stupid analysts did & now everyone is upset. Anyone complaining bout innovation should see what the SDK is capable of..its pretty interesting.
As with hardware, they been doing the same thing for years & this is comparable when the iPhone 3G came out.

Right, but a no contract phone isn't really prepaid right? How I understand it, prepaid is purchasing the cards each month and no contract is just having service with a carrier without the hassle of breaking contract and any fees applied to that. That's probably what you're saying, I just want to clarify.
