Abstract: Apple's iPhone 5C and iPhone 5 handsets are admittedly not very different from one another. Both sport 4in Retina displays, Apple A6 processors and run the firm's iOS 7 mobile operating system, so you might ask why we're bothering to compare the two phone...
Abstract: My other general bit of advice is that you always go with the best technology you can afford. In this case, it's the iPhone 5s. If you're an iPhone 4s owner, that's absolutely the route you should go. Because the iPhone 5c is basically just an iPhone 5 in...

Topquality screen: excellent colour fidelity, Build / finish, Responsive performances, Audio quality, Good camera
Very high SAR level, No way of expanding the memory, The iOS 7 interface isn't as practical for partially sighted users
The Apple iPhone 5c is a good smartphone. It has a pleasant design that's nice to use and handle, an excellent screen and good general performances. However, it's hard to recommend this repainted iPhone 5 over the higher-end iPhone 5s which, although it h...
Abstract: The plastic case is basically the only difference between the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C. The two phones are identical, sharing the same iSight camera, A6 processor, and Lightning connector. This has lead many to assume that the iPhone 5c is a repackaged ...
Attractive, colourful design; Easy to use iOS 7 software; Enough power for most tasks; Decent battery life
Top-end 5S is not much more expensive; Same size and resolution as previous models; Camera struggles in low light
Its colourful, pocket-friendly body and easy to use software makes the iPhone 5C a good choice for smart phone novices, but with only a small price gap between this and the considerably more powerful 5S, the 5C isn't the budget iPhone we hoped it would be...

Abstract: With many iPhone 4S owners likely to be coming to the end of their seemingly never-ending 24-month contracts, the time is right for a change. But, with Apple releasing two new devices last month, the choice is not so simple. Many will no doubt be tempted...
Abstract: Apple's iPhone 4S and iPhone 5c are the lower-cost iPhones available to buy from Apple, and you could be having a tough time trying to decide which is right for you. Here, we compare the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5c, including their features, specs and desi...
Great quality screen, Solid build quality, Nice choice of colours
Not a big advance on the iPhone 5, Battery life could be better, Relatively expensive
The iPhone 5C isn't as exciting a handset as the 5S by any means. With the iPhone 5 now deleted, it is the replacement for that phone. However, existing iPhone 5 owners would be ill-advised to upgrade as the differences aren't huge and you can get iOS 7 ...

Abstract: Apple stepped out of its comfort zone when it launched the iPhone 5c alongside the iPhone 5s in September. It was the first time the company had debuted more than one new smartphone at an event, putting iPhone owners in a quandary. In years gone by it wa...
Overall, we think those with a smaller budget will be satisfied with what the iPhone 4S can provide, as long as you're aware that 8GB is likely to mean you'll run out of space pretty quickly. If you'd prefer a bigger screen, or love the five new colours, ...
