It is super fast with great specs
The price is unbelievable
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

But it still is a Retina display

In the trailer above
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

Can you get an invite to buy?
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

Beautifully engineered, Elegant UI, Improved 4G support
Toy-like appearance, Prohibitively expensive, Essentially the iPhone 5

Abstract: At this year's iPhone event, Apple announced not one, but two new iPhones, a first for the company. In one corner, we had the expected upgrade for the iPhone 5 called the iPhone 5s . In the other corner, we had the heavily rumored iPhone 5c , a more affor...
Abstract: HARDWARE DESIGNER Apple's iPhone 5C has been met with criticism since its launch earlier this month, with commenters slamming the device as "toy-like" and "too expensive". Although we're still not sold on the handset's pr...
In many ways, the iPhone 5c is the first mass-market iPhone that Apple has released, reaching the perfect synergy between pricing, style, hardware, and software (with the introduction of iOS 7.) It's such a cohesive and affordable device, that we'd recomm...
Abstract: I've been hearing about a second iPhone for years. Something that would sit below the flagship line and make Apple even more competitive in the mainstream market. I thought it was going to be purely a less-expensive play . The iPhone equivalent of the iPo...
Solid construction. Plastic will weather most of your “uh oh” moments. Higher capacity battery. Better LTE support. Updated frontfacing camera for better duckface selfies
Yearold technology. For 0 more, the iPhone 5s brings the magic. Back of the phone feels a little too slick. Your favorite iPhone 5 case will not fit
Attractive, excellent build quality, sharp and colorful display and all the comforts of iOS 7
A 4" display in 2013 seems so old fashioned. Last year's specs won't ignite as much enthusiasm, nor will it be as future proof as the iPhone 5s
The iPhone 5c is a brilliant product in terms of marketing. It’s the cheaper model without being last year’s model. This is the first time Apple has introduced two iPhones at once, and it was a smart move. The iPhone 5c seems fresh and is fresh thanks...
Abstract: This year is different for Apple, seeing that instead of offering one brand new iPhone, the company in fact decided to bring to market TWO new iPhones. Before, the decision was a bit easier, and at times, a no-brainer decision for some. However, that’s...
Abstract: Just when you thought the iPhone 5c would be internally, atomically the same as last year's iPhone 5 , Apple went and gave it the same FaceTime HD camera boost as the new, flagship iPhone 5s . That means bigger pixels and a back illuminated sensor (BSI) t...
