Apple (AAPL -2.35%) introduced a brightly colored line of lower-cost iPhones Tuesday along with a more traditional device that comes in silver and gold. The announcements mark a stark departure from the company's past approach of sleek, clean devices in white and black. Apple also unveiled fingerprint recognition for its top-of-the-line phone. The lower cost phone, called the iPhone 5c, comes in a striking array of colors -- including green, blue, pink and yellow. With a two-year carrier contract, the new phone will cost $99 for the 16GB version and $199 for the 32GB version. Apple also redesigned some of the apps on the phone, making them more colorful and bright. Along with the bold hues of the devices themselves, the result is a vibrant mix of colors in the hardware and software. The company also debuted the iPhone 5s, which executive Phil Schiller said is "the most forward-thinking phone we've ever created," according to Engadget's live blog of the event. The phone is priced at $199 for a 16GB version, $299 for 32GB and $399 for 64GB (along with a two-year carrier contract).
