iPhone 5C review: last year's Apple flagship gets a fancy new suit

Taking the iPhone 5c in context, that last entry in the "Cons" 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.
Pros:
  • Plastic casing won't age well
  • Screen size limits utility
  • Small embedded battery
  • nonexpandable storage
  • Insufficient innovation to justify new model name
Cons:
  • Plastic casing won't age well
  • Screen size limits utility
  • Small embedded battery
  • nonexpandable storage
  • Insufficient innovation to justify new model name

Apple delivered a one-two punch with this year's iPhone announcement. The iPhone 5S is now king of the castle, but the iPhone 5C is replacing last year's iPhone 5 as the new 2nd tier device. So is it a worthy replacement?
Pros:
  • Beautifully engineered
  • Elegant UI
  • Improved 4G support

Apple iPhone 5C Review

We're somewhat torn with the iPhone 5C. One one hand, it's just an identical hardware to the iPhone 5 but clad in a polycarbonate shell. On the other, it's still a very capable handset with impressive performance.
Pros:
  • * Less expensive than the iPhone 5S
  • * LTE support
  • * More color options
  • * Great camera

  • 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, No 64-bit support, Performance levels not quite high-end, A slightly higher-resolution display (at least 720p) would be nice by now.

Overall, the Apple iPhone 5C is basically a plastic or polycarbonate revamp of the Apple iPhone 5. True, it does have a bigger battery and iOS 7 but it doesn't bring anything else new to the smartphone market.

  • Bold colours
  • Usual great Retina screen
  • App Store
Cons:
  • Limited storage
  • Below average media battery life
  • Still quite expensive
