@monkbent that’s a weird decision to be honest.
.@gruber also thinks 5S/5C/4S, bye-bye 5 http://daringfireball.net/

@hsouris not from a pricing perspective -
@monkbent -> considering plastic is cheaper than metal. The only way I see it is profit margins. Good for Apple, not so good for us -
@hsouris plastic savings are likely in the single digit dollars -
@monkbent why switch to plastic? Colors? It’ll be interesting to see the raw cost of materials Also, what about next year? 5S thrown out? -
@hsouris $10~$20 savings results in $30~$50 lower price. Plus, why not? Makes old product new -
@monkbent yeah, I’m all for the ‘new product’ strategy, which is why I can’t fathom keeping the 4S around. - 2 more replies

@monkbent that's basically status quo, just 5'C' instead of 5. Is that enough to qualify as "new"? I think ur right- "because... Colors"Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@kirkburgess@monkbent Something like that, exactly. -
@gruber@monkbent@SammyWalrusIV worth noting that Apple doesn't normally announce unsubsidised prices at launch events. -
@kirkburgess@gruber@monkbent yet if I didn't include them in my post, people would say most of the world doesn't use subsidized. -
@SammyWalrusIV@gruber@monkbent Just observing that we may not find out the unsubsidised pricing, and if its fixed globally, tomorrow.

@abdophoto@monkbent Yes, when you consider how cheap 4S components have become. -
-
@abdophoto@gruber@monkbent perhaps the iPhone 4S becomes the iPad 2 of iPhones.
