iPhone 5C is colorful and not cheap. Indeed it has lower specs versus the iPhone 5S but it will have a very different look and feel and price to appeal to a wider range of people. This is still top end engineering and with the latest operating system and is even better than the current iPhone 5.

Sleek and colorful design with improved specs and iOS 7 and a vey good size

Still has a high cost

Some people will look at the iPhone 5c and just see an iPhone 5 with a colorful plastic case and a price drop. It's not a device that's going to wow your friends like the iPhone 5s, with its fingerprint scanner and a new camera.

Solid construction; Plastic will weather most of your "uh oh" moments; Higher capacity battery; Better LTE support; Updated front-facing camera for better duck-face selfies

Year-old 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

The iPhone 5c doesn't offer much improvement over the previous generation iPhone. However, the 5c's reduced price point is the draw here. At $99 under contract, the iPhone 5c is the cheapest newly released offering from Apple to date.

Easy to type on; Very portable; Easy to read on; Easy to navigate; Good speaker quality

Subpar battery life; Subpar camera quality; Subpar performance - same hardware as the iPhone 5

4 years with this device. No complain. Solid battery, even now.

iPhone 5C 16GB is currently priced at a premium when compared with Android phones like Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTV One. They look much better and have up to 20% bigger screen. Let us start with Basics, just like all iPhone's this does not have expandable slot but i feel 16GB is enough for a normal...

iPhones have always been aspirational, high-end products, for which people have been prepared to pay a hefty price in order to join the (not particularly exclusive) club. With Apple's 2013 handset launches that approach has changed slightly: the flagship iPhone 5s occupies the traditional...

Excellent 4-inch Retina display; Solid build quality; Available in a range of colours; Good battery life

Relatively expensive for a mid-range smartphone; Similar specifications to the iPhone 5

Taking the iPhone 5c in context, that last entry in the "Cons" section above is a sticking point. During the Apple announcement heralding the new iPhones' arrival, we called the 5c an " iPhone 5 in a new casing ," and besides the minor exceptions noted above, that's proven fairly accurate.

Plastic casing won't age well; Screen size limits utility; Small embedded battery; nonexpandable storage; Insufficient innovation to justify new model name

If you think you know the new Apple iPhone 5c ($99 for 16GB/$199 for 32GB with contract), you do. It's the guts of the iPhone 5 wrapped in a colorful enclosure, with a new front-facing camera and battery. That's basically it.

Bright and cheerful new colors; Solid value; iPhone 5 internals are still solid; Stronger RF reception than iPhone 5; iOS 7 is a dramatic upgrade

That 4-inch screen is starting to feel small; No significant new hardware features

The iPhone 5C is the iPhone 5 in plastic for $100 less, and that's not a bad thing. The polycarbonate colored cases look and feel a lot better than you'd guess.

More comfortable to hold than iPhone 5S/5; Bigger battery; Colors look great and plastic doesn't feel cheap; iOS 7 looks fantastic

iOS 7 still has a few nagging issues; Poor Google services integration
