The editors didn't like

  • It's (sort of) last year's iPhone
  • The Swisscheese case is lame
  • Pricey
  • Glass back can easily shatter
  • No 64GB option
  • Phone's speaker is noticeably muffled-sounding compared to the 5 and 5S
  • Some will find the plastic body a downgrade from the original iPhone 5's aluminum one
  • Subpar battery life
  • Subpar camera quality
  • Subpar performance — same hardware as the iPhone 5
  • This phone is 2012 tech dressed up in a brighter package for 2013
  • The four-inch Retina Display feels small compared with most Android phones
  • That 4-inch screen is starting to feel small. No significant new hardware features
  • A 4" display in 2013 seems so old fashioned. Last year's specs won't ignite as much enthusiasm
  • Nor will it be as future proof as the iPhone 5s
  • Colored plastic case may not be to everyone's liking
  • Not a dramatic change from iPhone 5
  • Storage not expandable
  • Small screen
  • That 4inch screen is starting to feel small. No significant new hardware features
  • Toy-like appearance
  • Prohibitively expensive
  • Essentially the iPhone 5
  • Yearold technology. For 0 more
  • The iPhone 5s brings the magic. Back of the phone feels a little too slick. Your favorite iPhone 5 case will not fit
  • Relatively expensive for a midrange smartphone
  • Similar specifications to the iPhone 5
  • Price difference isn’t so significant to set it apart from the much-enhanced iPhone 5s. Slippery backing makes a case feel essential. Loses some of the premium allure of an iPhone.
  • The 4in screen feels small
  • Not much improvement in the battery
  • Plastic shells are a major downgrade from both iPhone 5's metal casing and earlier plastic enclosures developed for the iPhone 3GS
  • With mostly stale color options
  • And no trace of metallic sparkle. Realworld battery performance continues to fall below Ap
  • ” section above is a sticking point. During the Apple announcement heralding the new iPhones' arrival
  • We called the 5c an “iPhone 5 in a new casing
  • ” and besides the minor exceptions noted above
  • That's proven fairly accurate. The 5c is indeed last night
  • Not as nice as the iPhone 5
  • IOS 7 still needs polish
  • Last year's internals
  • Camera stumbles in low light
  • But with a low non-HD resolution
  • Barely any cheaper than the iPhone 5s
  • Small phone with a tiny screen size (compared to the competitors)
  • No 64-bit support
  • Performance levels not quite high-end

  • Abstract:  Apple's iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C handsets have been on the market since last September, and have - according to Apple's first quarter 2014 earnings - been pretty popular, with the firm having shifted 51 million iPhones in three months. Now that several mo...

  • Abstract:  Design The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are world's apart in design. The iPhone 5S carries over the iPhone 5's two-tone aluminium design, while the iPhone 5C does away with this in favour of a fully plastic chassis....

  • Excellent build quality, iOS 7, Slightly higher spec than the iPhone 5
  • Not cheap enough when compared to the iPhone 5s, Polycarbonate body may scratch easily
  • The iPhone 5c is ideal for anyone looking for a striking, well-designed smartphone that moves away from the 'safer' style of the 5s.Overall, the iPhone 5c is a fantastic handset. Whether you like the range of slightly bright and bold colours is all a ques...

  • Abstract:  Nokia has had a lot of success with its polycarbonate build on the Lumia Windows Phone range and with the iPhone 5C, Apple challenged Nokia's polycarbonate dominance with a hard-coated polycarbonate glossy shell in a range of colours.Long expected to be t...

  • Intuitive OS, great screen and reasonable specs.
  • Plastic build, overpriced.
  • The iPhone 5C is a good little phone, which aside from the plastic build is basically just an iPhone 5. However it costs a bit too much to really be considered a budget option...

  • Bold colours; Usual great Retina screen; App Store
  • Limited storage; Below average media battery life; Still quite expensive
  • Given the slight £80 drop in price over the iPhone 5s, Apple is asking you to make a fair few compromises with the iPhone 5c, not least accepting last year’s processor and camera tech. The lack of a fingerprint scanner is also a shame, although the bold a...

  • Abstract:  Apple's iPhone 5C and iPhone 5 handsets are admittedly not very different from one another. Both sport 4in Retina displays, Apple A6 processors and run the firm's iOS 7 mobile operating system, so you might ask why we're bothering to compare the two phone...

  • Abstract:  My other general bit of advice is that you always go with the best technology you can afford. In this case, it's the iPhone 5s. If you're an iPhone 4s owner, that's absolutely the route you should go. Because the iPhone 5c is basically just an iPhone 5 in...
