Abstract: Let's talk about what's different: the polycarbonate casing. I personally think it looks and feels really cool, and it's refreshing to see a new design after 4 iterations of what's basically the same (albeit lovely) Leica inspired iPhone 4/4s/5/5s metal c...
Abstract: Apple took the wind out of a lot of sails when it unveiled the iPhone 5c earlier this month. It's not that the device itself was disappointing — quite the contrary, in fact. Apple's new iPhone 5c is exactly what we were expecting it to be after months of ...

In an alternate reality, the iPhone 5 would have followed past Apple precedent, dropping in price to $99 while a markedly more powerful iPhone 5S debuted at $199, $299, and $399 price points. Under that scenario, the iPhone 5c either wouldn’t have existed...
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 4inch screen is starting to feel small. No significant new hardware features
The colorful, plastic iPhone 5c is a welcome upgrade for existing iPhone 4 and 4S owners, and a great introduction to Apple's awesome app platform at a nice price. It's the best $99 phone you'll find on Verizon Wireless, but otherwise, there's not much n...
