Friendly design
Excellent battery life
Amazing display
Great speed
Fantastic camera
Color variety with its design
Solid build quality for a plastic phone
Snappy performance
The iPhone 5's hardware has aged pretty well
And even without internal changes the 5C is competitive with similarly priced offerings from other companies
The plastic bodies are very sturdy and add character
Camera is still pretty good overall
Though l
Easy to type on
Very portable
Easy to read on
Easy to navigate
Good speaker quality
The iPhone 5C is available for $99 or less on contract
And in five bright colors. Compared with the 2012 iPhone 5
It's got more widely compatible global LTE coverage
An upgraded front-facing camera
And slightly better battery life
Bright and cheerful new colors. Solid value. iPhone 5 internals are still solid. Stronger RF reception than iPhone 5. iOS 7 is a dramatic upgrade.

Vivid colors finally inject some variety into the iPhone line. All of the great features from the iPhone 5 return with a couple of small enhancements. Offers a less-expensive new Apple handset option.
Casing doesn't feel cheap and is comfortable to hold
Vibrant display
IOS 7 looks great on the iPhone 5C
Great performance

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)

Good display quality, Wellbuilt, decent battery life
Price, no Corning Gorilla Glass
Everyone wants to know if iPhone 5C is a viable upgrade from iPhone 5. The answer is no, because 5C is Apple's attempt to try something different with a different design dynamics but same philosophy. If you want an upgrade then iPhone 5C is not your call...
Abstract: Handset manufacturers awarding bold pastel colours to their smartphones has been a huge trend. Nokia did a brilliant job with the N8 a couple of years ago. The trend continued with its latest Lumia range. For Apple, the introduction of colour to its phon...
Consistent performance - iPhone 5 rerun, Good battery life, Built very well, Lots of colour options, iOS 7 has refreshed the "iPhone experience", somewhat
Plastic over metal? Your choice, Not exactly a 'low cost' iPhone
Not exactly low cost, is it? In the U.S. you may get the iPhone 5C at $99 with a two year contract, but in India, this is essentially replacing the iPhone 5. The aluminum iPhone 5, with the "unapologetically plastic" shell. Pretty much the same internals...
Abstract: Apple launched its news iPhones including the 5S and 5C in India last week. GizBot managed to grab one of the 5C handsets for a little test drive. Here are our first impressions.Build quality and designWith the iPhone 5C, Apple has taken that plasticy-fee...
The iPhone 5c is more than just a cosmetic upgrade once you look beyond the vibrant shell. It is easy to dismiss the phone by saying that the upgrade is like putting lipstick on a pig but we’d refrain from doing that. The phone combines the power of th...
The Apple iPhone 5c is a very solid smartphone - we know it well because we've spent a year with its previous alter ego, the iPhone 5. Try as we might though, we didn't find any difference between the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5 that goes beyond the exteri...
Abstract: Apple took the wind out of a lot of sails when it unveiled the iPhone 5c earlier this month. It's not that the device itself was disappointing — quite the contrary, in fact. Apple's new iPhone 5c is exactly what we were expecting it to be after months of ...
Abstract: When we got our hands on the iPhone 5C, our very first thought was that it feels like the iPhone 5 permanently ensconced in a case. That was also our next four or five thoughts. Because basically, that's all the iPhone 5C is.While the less expensive iPhon...
Abstract: The iPhone hasn't delved into the recycled slums of plastic since the days of the 3GS. That was way back in 2009. But with the iPhone 5C, colorful plastic is now in vogue. How much better has Apple gotten at doing plastic? How does it compare to other pla...
Abstract: I had a lot of fun unlocking the phone over and over again. Who knew biometric authentication could be such a blast?The fingerprint sensor alone is worth the extra $100 you'll pay for the iPhone 5s over an iPhone 5c. Both phones will come out Friday. In t...
