iPhone 5C Captured In Final Retail Packaging

August 30, 2013/ Nir Schneider

Spoiler alert, this is what you'll be getting when you purchase Apple's upcoming cheeky iPhone 5C. Shown in this leaked photo, dozens of red iPhone 5C devices in retail packaging which in this photo appear pink in color most likely due to poor white balance. The white plastic capsule packaging checks out with previous leaks that displayed dozens of white empty packaging capsules casually tossed into a bin inside the factory with "iPhone 5C" branding on the side. It looks like Apple has gone with an iPod-esque clear top packaging to showcase all six iPhone 5C colors.

In addition, the default wallpaper is set to match the color of the device similar to how the iPod nano 7th generation is packaged. As if we didn't already know, both the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S will come with iOS 7 at launch. Apple will hold a media event on September 10 where it'll announce its new iPhones.

Update: More colors have been leaked.

This time a photo taken during a factory inspection by a member of a Chinese labor rights group shows empty plastic packaging shells of the plastic iPhone marked with an iPhone 5C branding, which is believed to stand for "Color" as it will be offered in 5 vibrant colors. This would be the first time Apple has moved from its iconic, minimalist cardboard box packaging to hard plastic pod-shaped packaging reminiscent of HTC's smartphone packaging.

Looks like Otterbox is very confident that the upcoming iPhone will not be called the iPhone 5, but rather the iPhone 4S which is said to sport the same design as the current iPhone 4 with some spec bumps. Thanks to the Chronic Wire for the leaks, Otterbox reportedly was so confident that it has manufactured as much as 3 million of these iPhone 4S cases. The above image shows the packaging of the Commuter Series case designed for the iPhone 4S.

On the back, the packaging reveals an iPhone 4-like iPhone 4S with repositioned volume buttons on the right hand side instead of the left where they have always been from the very first iPhone. The Commuter Series case for the purported iPhone 4S has the following features:
