Solid hardware, but the colourful iPhone 5c is still too expensive to be a low-cost option

After our brief encounter with the iPhone 5c, we have our final verdict on Apple's ‘old wine'. Available in five bright colours of your choosing, the 5c has a very specific demographic in mind unlike its predecessor.

it is an ok phone .there are better phones out there. i just got in to using apple products and they are all the same.i wish i had not bought this phone. i personally perfer android over iphone.

nice screen

terrible battery life ; broke the first month

The iPhone 5C is Apple's plastic and colourful smartphone. Read our iPhone 5C review to find out more about what we think of the iPhone 5C one year on.

It's a practical phone case, has compartments in it so is very useful for carrying a few cards/cash around. Ascetically, it's pretty and looks like it is quality. However the stitching has begun to unravel after a few days.

Everyone wants to know if iPhone 5C is a viable upgrade from iPhone 5. The answer is no, because 5C is Apple's attempt to try something different with a different design dynamics but same philosophy. If you want an upgrade then iPhone 5C is not your calling.

Good display quality; Well-built; decent battery life

Price; no Corning Gorilla Glass

Unless someone is giving you this phone for free, take a pass. Though it's got decent hardware and a great OS, the one-size-fits-no-one 8GB of storage makes this phone pretty useless.

It's the cheapest iPhone you can buy with a great OS and sharp screen and decent camera

The 8GB of storage kills it for this iPhone; It's 2015; No one can get by with only 8GB of storage

it is nice, easy to use and handle

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.
