You see, each time Apple releases its new smartphone or tablet, someone shots a clip that makes fun of either gadget itself, or the fans waiting for the release date, or whatever else.
This year is not an exception - below you can see a short iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C introductory video. People, who look almost just like the actual Apple’s engineers and executives (I’m joking, of course), tell us the story about what do the the letters “S” and “C” mean.
I won’t tell you anything more - watch the video yourself.

Photos of iPhone 5C logic board
Chinese Site CTechCN has posted the photos of iPhone 5C logic board. The resource has also published the box for iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5S in graphite color.
The comparison photo published by the website features the logic board of iPhone 5C an iPhone 5. The casing of iPhone 5C has three screw holes in it that line up with the logic board. The board does not differ from the one for iPhone 5, thus it may be safe to assume that the iPhone 5C is literally an iPhone 5 with a plastic casing.
We will remind you again that Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on September 10.
