Still, the iPhone 5c with its premium build and haptics feels great to hold. In addition, it is noticeably heavier by around 20 grams. The iPhone 5c is a bit larger than the iPhone 5 in all dimensions: It is thicker by more than 1 millimeter (now 8.97 millimeters) as well as slightly wider and longer. Unfortunately, applying a medium amount of pressure to the screen is enough to result in display errors emanating from the sides. The resulting smartphone not only feels very sturdy, but also sports some first-class build quality: No irregular clearances, no creaking. So what about the iPhone 5c's stability? Apple doesn't rely on the plastic case alone, integrating an internal metal frame into the body. However, colorful iPods have been around for a long time. Generally, Apple seems to be fond of Nokia's colorful product strategy which the Finnish company has employed with its entire Lumia line. The resulting two-shell look reminds us of the Nokia Lumia 620. This renders the back of the iPhone 5c rather prone to fingerprints while a special coating is supposed to prevent them from sticking to the front (which doesn't seem to work too well, though).Īpple offers matching silicone cases which are available in all these five colors plus black. ![]() Green, blue, yellow, pink and white - the five colors which Apple offers with its iPhone 5c all refer to its rear shell made from glossy plastic instead of aluminum. We will compare the iPhone 5c to its closest sibling, the iPhone 5, but also to a selection of current high-end and mid-range smartphones. The price? 100 Euros (~$135) less than what one has to pay for the high-end iPhone 5s model (which will arrive in our labs shortly). On the outside, however, a colorful plastic case has replaced the aluminum one used for the iPhone 5. ![]() The iPhone 5c closely resembles the iPhone 5 in terms of its innards, with the only exceptions being support for more LTE bands, a slightly larger battery and a somewhat revamped Facetime camera - no true innovations here. But what about Apple's fans in Europe and the US - may they rejoice? Well, so much about that - the iPhone 5c costs at least 599 Euros (~$813), making it too pricy even for most middle-class citizens in these countries. Or a little less, as they had hoped that Apple would finally release a truly affordable iPhone within range for the masses in developing markets such as China and India. Somehow, most investors had expected a bit more on September 10, 2013. ![]() For the original German review, see here.
