Apple iPhone 5C review
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.
Pros:
- Fast
- light
- comfortable to hold
- good camera
Cons:
- Expensive
- no Touch ID fingerprint scanner
- plastic design
- not Apple's flagship device

Apple iPhone 5c (16GB/32GB)
In an alternate reality, the iPhone 5 would have followed past Apple precedent, dropping in price to $99 while a markedly more powerful iPhone 5S debuted at $199, $299, and $399 price points.
Pros:
- A more affordable version of 2012's iPhone 5
- still packing a 4" screen
- LTE cellular support
- and two very good cameras
- with modestly improved low-light performance on the front camera.
Cons:
- 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.

Apple iPhone 5C (Verizon Wireless)
The colorful, plastic iPhone 5c is a welcome upgrade for existing iPhone 4 and 4S owners, and a great introduction to Apple's awesome app platform at a nice price. It's the best $99 phone you'll find on Verizon Wireless, but otherwise, there's not much new to see here.

Apple iPhone 5c
The iPhone 5c is the cheapest iPhone currently available and comes in a choice of Blue, Green, Pink, White or Yellow. It's underpowered in various ways however, with a tiny screen, weak battery and miniscule memory.

Apple iPhone 5c (Verizon Wireless)
If you think you know the new Apple iPhone 5c ($99 for 16GB/$199 for 32GB with contract), you do. It's the guts of the iPhone 5 wrapped in a colorful enclosure, with a new front-facing camera and battery. That's basically it.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- That 4-inch screen is starting to feel small
- No significant new hardware features

Apple iPhone 5C Review
The iPhone 5C is the iPhone 5 in plastic for $100 less, and that's not a bad thing. The polycarbonate colored cases look and feel a lot better than you'd guess.
Pros:
- More comfortable to hold than iPhone 5S/5
- Bigger battery
- Colors look great and plastic doesn't feel cheap
- iOS 7 looks fantastic
Cons:
- iOS 7 still has a few nagging issues
- Poor Google services integration

Apple iPhone 5C review
For over a decade, the most persistent criticism of Apple has been that the company's power comes not from invention, but from marketing - that millions of customers are buying into a logo and a lifestyle more than radically new products.
Pros:
- Look at all the colors
- iPhone 5 internals still solid
- Great camera
Cons:
- Not as nice as the iPhone 5
- iOS 7 still needs polish

Its makeover and quality construction make it a pleasure to use and the new pre-loaded iOS 7 operating system complements the high quality hardware to create the sort of experience only Apple can deliver.
