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

  • The iPhone 5C is a bit of a difficult one for consumers. Most were expecting a cheap phone, but Apple instead released another high-end smartphone.We don't blame them. Apple's reputation for design and quality means even if a phone was cheaper, buyers wou...

  • Earlier today we looked at the 5S Apple's new high-end handset, last year we looked at the iPhone 5 and found it to perform very well while perhaps looking a bit dated. Good news! the 5C is essentially the iPhone 5 but in a new polycarbon skin with steel ...

  • The iPhone 5C is a nice smartphone. However, we just can't see the need for it in the first place, unless it was cheaper. It's too expensive for what is effectively an iPhone 5 in a plastic shell with minor changes in hardware. There are better and cheape...

  • Good specs; Refreshed iOS 7 adds functionality; Solid battery; Works across all 4G networks
  • Not exactly budget; No fingerprint scanner; No keyboard upgrade
  • A slightly cheaper replacement for the iPhone 5, the 5C retains the performance of its predecessor and provides a choice of colours. But we still feel Apple has missed a trick by not making the price point more attractive....

  • Ships with iOS 7, available in a range of colours, provides a cheaper alternative to the 5S, bright screen, great camera
  • Offers little improvement on the iPhone 5's performance, made from plastic, still expensive
  • There's no doubt about it -- the iPhone 5s is a smashing phone, but it sits in a funny place in Apple's product range. It feels very much like the iPhone 5 has been rebundled here for a specific set of customers. There's obviously little point in upgradi...

  • Fast, light, comfortable to hold, good camera
  • Expensive, no Touch ID fingerprint scanner, plastic design, not Apple's flagship device
  • Apple's iPhone 5C is a quality device that is as easy to use as its predecessors. However, its price and position in the market mean it doesn't seem to serve any particular demands....
