Friendly design

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

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
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)

I've never understood fashion. To me, it's always seemed like the biggest peer pressure con job going. Why mention that in the context of the iPhone 5c?Simply because I can't help but feel that the market for the iPhone 5c remains a fashion market; people...
Very sturdy build underneath the plastic. Fun and fabulous colour range. Improved front-facing camera
Local pricing just too close to iPhone 5s
The iPhone 5c is last year's iPhone 5 with a shiny new coat of paint. At Australian prices, the iPhone 5s is a far better choice....

Abstract: Directly after the launch, Apple allowed journalists a brief bit of hands-on time with the new iPhone 5s and 5c handsets. Here's my early thoughts.This isn't a full review, but then I'd never opt for a full review after five minutes in a noisy room filled...
Abstract: After more than 12 months of rumours, Apple has finally unveiled what most expected: a colourful, entry-level iPhone. The iPhone 5c uses largely the same internals as the existing iPhone 5 , but wraps the device in a plastic case that comes in five bright...
Bright new colour variants, Good build quality, Upgraded front-facing camera
Glossy finish can be slippery to hold, No real new or notable features, Battery life could be better
Apple's new iPhone 5c isn't for everyone and doesn't really offer anything new aside from iOS 7. However, it remains a worthy upgrade for anyone with an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, or more importantly for Apple, anyone currently without an iPhone...

Do you have an iPhone 5, or an Android handset you bought within the last 12 months? Cool: the iPhone 5c is 100 per cent not for you. Go buy a colourful case from Apple or wherever you can find one that fits for you Androiders and be happy at pretty rainb...
iOS 7 Look, Apple – we understand. You've kept your operating system visually the same for a while now, and maybe you're feeling the pressure to be innovative (or at least appear innovative). So, much in the way you've appeared to have slapped a coat o...
Look, the iPhone 5c isn't a bad phone. I actually think there's something charming about its coloured plastic design. It comes in green, blue, yellow, pink or white. Its display is small by today's standards-just 4 inches, but it still is a Retina display
As you can see there's a lot of things that make the iPhone 5c still a good phone in 2015. But there are also, unfortunately, a few major drawbacks this phone has that make it a poor choice for anyone who isn't the most basic-and I mean BASIC-smartphone u
Yes, it is plastic. Yes, it doesn't have the same updated specs of the iPhone 5S. And, yes, it is basically the iPhone 5 encased in a new plastic unibody chassis. But none of these facts is necessarily a bad thing. The iPhone 5 was a great handset, and th...
