The rumors that a cheaper, plastic iPhone is in the works have been slowly gaining steam for the past few weeks. Today, a Mac-themed YouTube account has uploaded two videos, one of which claims to show the case for the plastic iPhone 5C and the other showing what the fifth generation iPad might look like.

The brief iPhone 5C clip shows the case shell placed next to a current iPhone 5. The video seems to match earlier photo leaks of this still unconfirmed version of Apple's smartphone. While Apple sold 31.2 million iPhones in the last quarter, the launch of a cheaper version made of plastic could lead to an even bigger boost in sales.

The other new video leak reportedly shows what the shell of the iPad 5 is supposed to look like. Again, it matches previous photo leaks and rumored information about the tablet, which claim it will have side bezels that are narrower than the current fourth generation iPad.

Apple is expected to announce a number of new smartphone and tablet products later this fall. All of them should have iOS 7 out of the box, which was first introduced in June with its flatter UI design.
