This review just had to be written.

To start with, this review is probably dangerously close to sounding like a Apple hater review. Truth is, it isn't one and I own an iPad (I'm typing the review on this) so I do love Apple products. nnI'm really not going to talk about specs, screen quality etc.

One cannot call the iPhone 5C a cheap product. It isn't one. Yes, it is inferior to the iPhone 5S in terms of build and pure horsepower, but then Apple charges the relevant extra premium for it.

Apple iPhone 5C review

The C in iPhone 5C stands for colourful, and that's the experience Apple wants you to have with its plastic-backed reimagination of the earlier iPhone 5. We've had the iPhone 5C in our pocket since the Apple launch event in Berlin.
Pros:
  • Colourful
  • solid
  • iOS 7 on board
  • good camera
Cons:
  • Virtually same as iPhone 5
  • still as expensive as iPhone 5 was
  • cases don't look considered

Apple iPhone 5C (Review Apple iPhone 5C)

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.
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.

On its own merits, the iPhone 5c is a wonderful phone. If you're not fussed about large screens or the awesome tinkering-powers of Android, you'll love its cheery design, seamless software and plastic fantastic build.
Pros:
  • In the trailer above, legendary Apple designer Sir Jonathan Ive sings the praises of the iPhone 5c, calling it "unashamedly plastic"
  • That might sound like a polite way of saying it's cheap, but it's also how he described the original iMac - the desktop PC that made his name and signalled the...
Cons:
  • We have few qualms with the hardware: the iPhone 5c is as delightful to hold as Apple claims
  • After several days using the final software however, we're still not completely taken by iOS 7's new design.

iPhone 5C

The phone feels good to hold and use. The screen resolution and the speed of the phone is nice. The memory for 8GB is an issue, but I never use the phone for playing games or use large apps, so its good for me. I ordered the blue one and the color is soothing as well. Happy with the buy.

A tolerable model, will never purchase a budget iPhone again

I found that the phone is great but not hard-wearing or long-lasting. I've had mine for almost 2 years and it isn't in the best condition despite being looked after. The fact it's a cheap alternative to the other iPhone models cannot be avoided.
Pros:
  • "Colour choice
  • "Good software
  • "Great camera
Cons:
  • "Cheaply made
  • "Scratch easily

iPhone 5C review

The iPhone 5C marked a new era in Apple's mobile onslaught, as the Cupertino-based firm finally broke rank from premium design and price by offering up a device which is slightly more affordable. Slightly being the key word there.

  • Long battery life

  • Outdated compared to newer models
