iPhone 5c Review
The iPhone 5c is not a wholly new product, but a successful reworking of a still-excellent smartphone. Apple will find success with the product by marketing the 5c to colour-conscious youth and those who don't need the top of the line features or specs.
Pros:
- This is very much an iPhone 5 in a new suit
- Being available in five colours - white, pink, blue, green and yellow - is the first clue that the iPhone 5c is the new iPod touch
- That it is "unapologetically plastic" doesn't tell the whole story, though, because like Motorola and Nokia, Apple has...
Cons:
- Let's talk price for a second
- The iPhone 5c is not a cheap iPhone, nor is it an inexpensive smartphone in general
- You're still going to pay over $200 for the 32GB model - in my opinion the only one worth considering - which is currently $30 more than the LG G2, and $100 more than the HTC One.

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

The colorful, very capable low-cost iPhone
The iPhone 5C is a great $99 phone that basically replicates the well-reviewed iPhone 5 in a more colorful case.
Pros:
- The <b>iPhone 5C</b> 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.
Cons:
- 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.

iPhone 5c review
If you can overlook the cases, colours and marketing (and they're big ifs), the 5c's a powerful, smart package, with a great OS
Pros:
- An iPhone 5 for less
- iOS 7 lives up to the hype
- Excellent new camera app
Cons:
- Colour theming will alienate diehards
- Legibility issues with some fonts and icons
- Still too darn expensive

iPhone 5c review
We never expected Apple to build a cheap anything and the 5c is testament to that. Launching a phone to appeal to a wider demographic is a brave move, especially when you're considered a premium brand.
Pros:
- Colourful chassis
- iOS 7 looks incredible
- Improved battery life
Cons:
- Price-tag compared to rivals
- Smaller screen than rivals

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

iPhone 5c (Verizon) Review
Apple's iPhone just got a splash of color. While it has the same internal components as last year's iPhone 5, the new iPhone 5c comes wrapped in a brightly colored plastic shell. Available for $99 in one of five bold hues, the 5c also runs iOS 7, Apple's equally colorful operating system, which is...

Cons:
- Expensive
