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

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

Yes, it is plastic. Yes, it doesn't have the same updated specs of the iPhone 5S. And, yes, it is basically the iPhone 5 encased in a new plastic unibody chassis. But none of these facts is necessarily a bad thing. The iPhone 5 was a great handset, and th...

The iPhone 5c was released back on 20 September 2013, over 2 years ago. Apple's most colourful iPhone provided a cheaper option for those who wanted to own an iPhone and experience iOS. Now, the phone can't match the performance of newer iPhones, nor of s...

Abstract: It's the battle of the 5Cs! Now, we might be called out for comparing two phones that are obviously unfairly matched, but ultimately we thought it worthwhile. After all, they are called the same thing. The two handsets are twinned in their respective s...

Abstract: FOR YEARS , Apple made only 4in phones. The iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S and 5C all stuck resolutely to Steve Jobs' insistence that 4in was more than adequate for a phone screen size. However, under pressure from rival Samsung and its larger ‘phablet' devices, Ap...

Abstract: Whether you're still carrying one in your back pocket, or sizing it up as an alternative to the new iPhone SE , Apple's first attempt at a mid-tier smartphone retains something of its charm all these years later. The iPhone 5C was launched on the same day...

Look, even with its lack of more advanced features (to be fair, most of which were introduced after the 5c was first unveiled), the iPhone 5c could still be a decent phone in 2015. COULD be. But Apple put the final nail in its coffin when it decided to...
