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

Good display quality, Wellbuilt, decent battery life
Price, no Corning Gorilla Glass
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 call...
Abstract: Handset manufacturers awarding bold pastel colours to their smartphones has been a huge trend. Nokia did a brilliant job with the N8 a couple of years ago. The trend continued with its latest Lumia range. For Apple, the introduction of colour to its phon...
Consistent performance - iPhone 5 rerun, Good battery life, Built very well, Lots of colour options, iOS 7 has refreshed the "iPhone experience", somewhat
Plastic over metal? Your choice, Not exactly a 'low cost' iPhone
Not exactly low cost, is it? In the U.S. you may get the iPhone 5C at $99 with a two year contract, but in India, this is essentially replacing the iPhone 5. The aluminum iPhone 5, with the "unapologetically plastic" shell. Pretty much the same internals...
Abstract: Apple launched its news iPhones including the 5S and 5C in India last week. GizBot managed to grab one of the 5C handsets for a little test drive. Here are our first impressions.Build quality and designWith the iPhone 5C, Apple has taken that plasticy-fee...
The iPhone 5c is more than just a cosmetic upgrade once you look beyond the vibrant shell. It is easy to dismiss the phone by saying that the upgrade is like putting lipstick on a pig but we’d refrain from doing that. The phone combines the power of th...
The Apple iPhone 5c is a very solid smartphone - we know it well because we've spent a year with its previous alter ego, the iPhone 5. Try as we might though, we didn't find any difference between the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5 that goes beyond the exteri...
Abstract: 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 ...
Abstract: When we got our hands on the iPhone 5C, our very first thought was that it feels like the iPhone 5 permanently ensconced in a case. That was also our next four or five thoughts. Because basically, that's all the iPhone 5C is.While the less expensive iPhon...
Abstract: The iPhone hasn't delved into the recycled slums of plastic since the days of the 3GS. That was way back in 2009. But with the iPhone 5C, colorful plastic is now in vogue. How much better has Apple gotten at doing plastic? How does it compare to other pla...
Abstract: I had a lot of fun unlocking the phone over and over again. Who knew biometric authentication could be such a blast?The fingerprint sensor alone is worth the extra $100 you'll pay for the iPhone 5s over an iPhone 5c. Both phones will come out Friday. In t...
