Apple iPhone 5c

If you think you know the new 5c Apple iPhone ($ 99 for 16GB / $ 199 for 32GB with a contract), do. It is the courage of the iPhone 5 wrapped in a colorful enclosure, with a new front facing camera and battery. That is just one of them. Still, the iPhone 5c marks the first time you can get the iPhone in a range of bright colors, fun recalling the iMacs and iBooks late 1990 5c is a solid play for the existing iPhone 4 and 4S owners, as well as with older Android phones and Blackberry, and it is a good introduction to the Apple platform app at a reasonable price. It's the best new smartphone you can get on Verizon Wireless for $ 100 but there is zero Gee-whiz factor surrounding the iPhone 5c; For that, you need to cough up $ 100 more for the iPhone 5S-or, for that issue, the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Design, Enclosure, and the Case
What is intriguing here is common, Apple does not sell a new phone designed for $ 99; Instead, it lowered its very first model last year to $ 99, and introduces its new products top-of-the-line with a $ 199 starting price. This time around, the company discontinued the iPhone 5 after just one year, it replaced iPhone 5s at $ 199, and introduced the new lower-priced iPhone 5c.

With that out of the way, communicate the details of the let. The iPhone 5c is slightly thicker and heavier than the iPhone 5 and 5s. It measures 4.9 by 2.33 by 0.35 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.65 ounces. Compare that to the iPhone 5s, which measures 4.87 by 2.31 by 0.30 inches and weighs 3.95 ounces. It does not make much of a difference, unless you really picky. Notably, all five color options (blue, green, pink, yellow, or white) are bright and fun; no neutral colors, earth tones, or Droid-esque dystopian-future shade available. Each model also has a matching color home screen and wallpaper, which is a great touch.

But the strangest thing about the iPhone 5c is that it is smooth. You are aware of it while holding it, and you can actually slide it on a desk, in a way that you can not with a Galaxy S 4 It is something about the glossy clearcoat finish over of polycarbonate. It really looks and feel smooth and stable. The control hardware is almost identical, with the only difference being the volume controls, which are long and thin rather than round. The enclosure is somewhat more substantial as well; aluminum-bodied iPhone feel better and more luxurious, of course, but they are also known for getting pretty scratched up if you buy a case. There is a reason Samsung was stopped with polycarbonate body for its Galaxy phones all the time.

Speaking of the case, $ 29 silicone case for Apple iPhone 5c is more grippier. Fleeting 5c iPhone in and out of, and it allows some of the original color through, thanks to fix then execute the circular cutouts in the back. The case itself is lined with microfiber, which cushions the phone well, and you can get them in a range of colors, which means that you can create your own custom color combo.
