Look

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
If you read the whole article until this point, then you probably know what the conclusion of most reviewers is. By the way, you may wonder why we have chosen such a title. Actually, “Plastic Perfected” is the name of the first ad that Apple has released ...
Abstract: At first blush, looks a bit like the iPhone 5 had a baby with the plastic-backed iPhone 3GS. It's the size and shape of the iPhone 5--long and thin--just a hair bigger in every direction, and about 20 grams heavier. And it marks the first time that th...
The billion-dollar question that many people are asking - is the iPhone 5C still relevant today? Our guess is the same as Apple. If you are one of the many critics of the iPhone 5C based on its polycarbonate shell, "dated" specs and expensive price tag, y...

Solid polycarbonate design, Great handling, Good overall performance
Lacks premium finish that Apple is famous for, Small display, Lacks a strong differentiating feature

Overall, the Apple iPhone 5C is basically a plastic or polycarbonate revamp of the Apple iPhone 5. True, it does have a bigger battery and iOS 7 but it doesn't bring anything else new to the smartphone market. However, for some people, having a colourful ...

Smart, Globe — the ball is in your court.So what's our verdict? Well there is a silver lining to all of this. At retail price the iPhone 5C does not make any sense whatsoever. Just go for the iPhone 5S or if you're on a tight budget just buy a second-hand...
Less expensive than the iPhone 5S, LTE support, More color options, Great camera
No hardware upgrade from previous model, Plastic shell
We're somewhat torn with the iPhone 5C. One one hand, it's just an identical hardware to the iPhone 5 but clad in a polycarbonate shell. On the other, it's still a very capable handset with impressive performance. What will ultimately dictate the success...
Abstract: I've been regularly blogging about iPhone 5C (formerly known as "Cheap iPhone" or "Budget iPhone ") since last May when rumors about the device started surfacing online. Obviously, although I kept saying that I was on the fence about Apple's decision to ...
