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.

Good battery life
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
A more affordable version of 2012's iPhone 5
Still packing a 4” screen

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)

Still high cost, Doesn't feel premium, Too similar to iPhone 5
Buying Guide Best camera phone We should be comparing the iPhone 5C against the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and HTC One Mini, but thanks to that hefty price tag Apple has slapped on its plastic clad handset we can't as it's already priced itself out of that m...
1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera; dramatically better performance than iPhone 4 and 4s; better battery life than previous models
Coloured plastic case may not be to everyone's liking; not a dramatic change from iPhone 5, $739 (16GB), $869 (32GB)
When the history of Apple's 2013 iPhone-a-palooza is written, the iPhone 5c will inevitably be viewed as the opening act to the iPhone 5s's headliner. But anyone who chooses the more colourful iPhone will hardly care. The iPhone 5c's compelling mixture of...
There's no doubt about it — the iPhone 5s is a faster, more powerful model, with a host of minor improvements over the iPhone 5. If you want the best iPhone money can buy, that's the model you should be looking at. The iPhone 5C isn't up to spec, on pape...
