The idea of a plastic iPhone is a bold one – for a company renowned for its attention to design and build quality, it seems an odd move to go from a solid, aluminium bodied handset to plastic.

Could the iPhone 5c be the most misunderstood iPhone so far? From early whispers of a budget model for emerging markets, though chatter of a new entry-level phone, the iPhone 5c in fact slots right in the middle of Apple's range, relegating last year's flagship to early retirement and leaving the...
The iPhone 5c is a well built device. For all intents and purposes it is a perfect replacement for the iPhone 5. If you were planning on buying a cost reduced iPhone 5 once the 5s came out, the iPhone 5c should have no problems filling that role.
If you can overlook the cases, colours and marketing (and they're big ifs), the 5c's a powerful, smart package, with a great OS
An iPhone 5 for less; iOS 7 lives up to the hype; Excellent new camera app
Colour theming will alienate diehards; Legibility issues with some fonts and icons; Still too darn expensive
We never expected Apple to build a cheap anything and the 5c is testament to that. Launching a phone to appeal to a wider demographic is a brave move, especially when you're considered a premium brand.
Colourful chassis; iOS 7 looks incredible; Improved battery life
Price-tag compared to rivals; Smaller screen than rivals
Its makeover and quality construction make it a pleasure to use and the new pre-loaded iOS 7 operating system complements the high quality hardware to create the sort of experience only Apple can deliver.
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
For over a decade, the most persistent criticism of Apple has been that the company's power comes not from invention, but from marketing - that millions of customers are buying into a logo and a lifestyle more than radically new products.
Look at all the colors; iPhone 5 internals still solid; Great camera
Not as nice as the iPhone 5; iOS 7 still needs polish
The iPhone 5c is the cheapest iPhone currently available and comes in a choice of Blue, Green, Pink, White or Yellow. It's underpowered in various ways however, with a tiny screen, weak battery and miniscule memory.
