Back in the days of user-replaceable batteries with the associated removable back-cover, changing device colors was as simple as replacing the $25 shell instead of the whole device... I kind of miss that.

Wow so apple of them.

So apple of them? Please enlighten me. There were many popular phones that you could get in many colors before the 5c. Galaxy s3, like every nokia phone the last couple years, HTC 8x and others.

Looks like bad photoshop to me. Also, remember Nokia and Motorola both had multicolor phone options before Apple did.

hmm, so it seems like Microsoft and Nokia actually started something... Too bad so few actually remember them

OH MY GOD MORE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!

@darkshadow I don't recall any other phone manufacturer offering multiple colors like pink green blue yellow all at the same time before the 5c. Maybe 2 colors but not 6. That's all I was saying lol. Either way I don't see why phones come in colors other than the standard black, white, and silver, just get a damn colored case if you care that much.

The Moto X comes in a lot more colors than the 5c and was announced and released before.

I remember buying a replacement fascia for my Nokia 3100 back in 2005... those heady days. Incidentally, going from blue to a cherry red wasn't the best decision I've ever made. Still, lots of people changed fascias back then, and I think we've kind of accepted the demise of said practice with little opposition...
