Rumour: Has Apple made a case for the 'iPhone 5C'

While not quite attracting the same level of interest as new Royal Baby's kingly monicker, tech fans remain pretty keen to learn the title Apple will bestow upon its somewhat less regal ' budget iPhone handset.'

Following umpteen leaks of cases, colours, specs and more, there's surprisingly been very little talk about what the device itself will actually be called. Until now.

A post on the WeiPhone forums, responsible for showcasing many of the leaks so far, shows a photo of purported packaging for the handset, baring the branding iPhone 5C.

As you can see yourselves from the picture above, there's nothing particularly official-looking about the snap, but the plastic casing does resemble those harbouring recent iPod touches.

It wouldn't be too far-fetched to believe Apple may adopt such a naming convention. After all, the company is expected to launch the iPhone 5S later this year.

While this 'leak' can be placed firmly in the 'rumour and speculation' category, it's interesting to ponder what the 'C' in iPhone 5C could actually represent.

Could it be colour, cheap, cool, charming, Charlie, cost-less? Probably none of those, huh? Let us know your own thoughts in the comments below.
