Apple took the wind out of a lot of sails when it unveiled the iPhone 5c earlier this month. It's not that the device itself was disappointing - quite the contrary, in fact. Apple's new iPhone 5c is exactly what we were expecting it to be after months of rumors and leaked parts.

Apple iPhone 5c review

There's no doubt about it -- the iPhone 5s is a smashing phone, but it sits in a funny place in Apple's product range. It feels very much like the iPhone 5 has been rebundled here for a specific set of customers.

iPhone 5c review

The iPhone 5c is Apple's mid-range iPhone . It's colourful, slightly cheaper than the iPhone 5s , and 'unashamedly plastic,' according to Apple. But, as the iPhone 5c nears its first birthday, should you buy it? We revisit our iPhone 5c review to determine whether it's worth buying.
Pros:
  • This iPhone feels great to hold
  • There's great choice of colours to suit any personality
  • Cheaper than iPhone 5S
Cons:
  • Colours won't be to everyone's taste
  • Not as cheap as expected
  • No Touch ID fingerprint sensor
  • Almost one year old
