Look
The iPhone 5c isn't a bad phone. I actually think there's something charming about its coloured plastic design. It comes in green

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 resurgence of Apple in the late 1990s.Like that iconic computer
The 5c is greater than the sum of its pa

As you can see there's a lot of things that make the iPhone 5c still a good phone in 2015. But there are also
Unfortunately
A few major drawbacks this phone has that make it a poor choice for anyone who isn't the most basic-and I mean BASIC-smartphone u
Not cheap enough when compared to the iPhone 5s
Polycarbonate body may scratch easily
The 8GB of storage kills it for this iPhone. It's 2015. No one can get by with only 8GB of storage
Top-end 5S is not much more expensive
Same size and resolution as previous models
Camera struggles in low light
Not exactly budget
No fingerprint scanner
No keyboard upgrade
Expensive
No Touch ID fingerprint scanner
Plastic design
Not Apple's flagship device
Virtually same as iPhone 5
Still as expensive as iPhone 5 was
Cases don't look considered
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. Whether you like the new neon icons or not is a matter of personal taste
But there’s no denying there are some quirks in the update.Let’s take the Command Centre. Yes
It’s a blessing to be able
Very high SAR level
No way of expanding the memory
The iOS 7 interface isn't as practical for partially sighted users
Plastic build
Overpriced.
Colour theming will alienate diehards
Legibility issues with some fonts and icons
Still too darn expensive
Price tag compared to other midrange devices
Smaller screen than rivals
Limited storage
Below average media battery life
Still quite expensive
It's cheaper
But still not a budget iPhone
Colours won't be to everyone's taste
Not as cheap as expected
No Touch ID fingerprint sensor
Almost one year old
IOS 7 still has a few nagging issues
Poor Google services integration
Not a big advance on the iPhone 5
Battery life could be better
Relatively expensive
Offers little improvement on the iPhone 5's performance

Still high cost, Doesn't feel premium, Too similar to iPhone 5
Buying Guide Best camera phone We should be comparing the iPhone 5C against the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and HTC One Mini, but thanks to that hefty price tag Apple has slapped on its plastic clad handset we can't as it's already priced itself out of that m...
1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera; dramatically better performance than iPhone 4 and 4s; better battery life than previous models
Coloured plastic case may not be to everyone's liking; not a dramatic change from iPhone 5, $739 (16GB), $869 (32GB)
When the history of Apple's 2013 iPhone-a-palooza is written, the iPhone 5c will inevitably be viewed as the opening act to the iPhone 5s's headliner. But anyone who chooses the more colourful iPhone will hardly care. The iPhone 5c's compelling mixture of...
There's no doubt about it — the iPhone 5s is a faster, more powerful model, with a host of minor improvements over the iPhone 5. If you want the best iPhone money can buy, that's the model you should be looking at. The iPhone 5C isn't up to spec, on pape...
