iPhone 5C vs Honor 5C head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
The Honor 5C is a mid-tier phone through and through. If we cast our minds back to 2013 we could almost say the same of the iPhone 5C. It was placed just below the more powerful 5S, and both served as updates to the ageing iPhone 5. Ultimately, either would make a great second, standby handset. The choice might be easier to make if you're tied to one ecosystem, but if we have one concern it would be the age of the iPhone 5C.

iPhone SE vs iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5C: head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
Overall, then, it’s probably fair to give the iPhone SE the win, as it has notably better specs than its 4in siblings. However, it’s testament to the quality of the iPhone 5S and even the iPhone 5C that they are not dwarfed by the newest iPhone on the market. That said, anyone with the 5S or 5C, or even the 4 or 4S for that matter, would definitely notice the difference on upgrading, and any new buyers with a budget of around £400 should probably go for the newest iPhone SE as well.

iPhone SE vs iPhone 5C head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
By contrast, the iPhone SE looks and feels like the more mature of the two. The 5C maintains a sense of fun throughout, but the hard, almost boxy edges of the SE indicate it's a phone that demands to be taken seriously. Saying that, we'd much rather pull the SE out of our pocket than put our pink handset on display for all to see. As you might already know, the SE is available in Silver, Space Grey, Gold and Rose Gold.

60% iPhone 5c Review: 8GB of Storage and No TouchID Make iPhone 5c a DULL BOY
Source: Know Your Mobile Archive.org version
Look, even with its lack of more advanced features (to be fair, most of which were introduced after the 5c was first unveiled), the iPhone 5c could still be a decent phone in 2015. COULD be. But Apple put the final nail in its coffin when it decided to cut the 5c’s storage options from 32 and 16GB down to just 8GB. That’s not enough in today’s day and age. The average user will fill up 8GB of storage within the first few weeks of using a smartphone. And if that happens, what’s the use of owning a smartphone if you don’t have the storage space available to use its advanced features?

100% iPhone 5c review: Apple's mid-range iPhone is the iPhone 5 in disguise
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
If you are trying to decide between the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c it is a question of whether you need all the extras offered by the iPhone 5s. Perhaps you are enticed by the new camera in the 5s, for example. If you need the latest technology it is only £80 more, so it's kind of a no-brainer. But not everyone needs the bells and whistles - for some it's not the processor and the high tech features that matter, but the way a device looks and feels and whether it helps them express their individuality. If you fit in that camp then the iPhone 5c is well worth a look.

80% Apple iPhone 5C review
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
The iPhone 5C is a strange phone. While the range of colours will appeal to a lot of people it pales in comparison to the 5S. It is overpriced and underpowered and not up to the standard of other Apple products. Given how close in price the two phones are, it has to be said that the iPhone 5S is much better value, plus you get a metal case, a faster processor and the new M7 motion coprocessor. This is the phone that we'd rather buy.

iPhone 5c vs Lumia 630 comparison review: Lumia 630 is great value, but you get what you pay for
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
We've been impressed with the iPhone 5C's battery life. Unless you hammer the device with contant gaming or video playback, it will last a couple of days with regular and varied use. The phone holds its charge incredibly well when not in use - our sample sat on just one percent for a number of hours. We like the Lumia 630, and it is great value. But we'll be sticking with the iPhone 5c and its better camera, battery life and build.

iPhone 5C 8GB vs best budget Android, Windows Phones review: why 8GB iPhone 5c is not a good deal
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
Unless you take money out of the equation, or you simply have to have an iPhone, it is difficult to make the case for the 8GB iPhone 5c over budget Androids and Windows phones. You could buy four Moto Gs for the price of the iPhone 5c, and you have to work hard to make a plausible argument that the iPhone 5c is worth even a penny more. The iPhone 5c does offer the best cameras here, and its battery life is good. But the only real reason to chose to pay £429 of it rather than £100 for the Moto G is that it is an iPhone, and you prefer iOS. That being the case, I'd still avoid the 8GB iPhone 5c. Apple still offers the iPhone 4S for £349 which also has 8GB of storage, but here's what you should really do; buy a second-hand iPhone 5 with a decent amount of capacity. A quick search online reveals the phone can be purchased for around £300.

iPhone 5c vs HTC One comparison review: 'cheap' iPhone can't compete with HTC's flagship Android - and costs more
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
Evenly matched on price, cameras and performance, the HTC One wins on storage and display, whilst the iPhone 5c may just edge it on battery life. Build quality and software are of a similar quality but different. But if you have no strong feelings on design or Android/iOS, you need to opt for the HTC.

Moto G vs iPhone 5C comparison review: Save money or get the iPhone 5S - why the iPhone 5C is a compromise too far
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage and performance. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either. The Moto G is bigger and bulkier but has a bigger screen. You will, however, notice the extra money you have in your pocket after choosing the Moto G rather than the iPhone 5C. However, the iPhone 5C has a better camera and greater storage options. And we also prefer iOS to Android - although that is a subjective thing. Finally the iPhone's battery life is better. If you want a budget phone, the Moto G wins. But for all other users the iPhone 5C may well be the better bet. Here comes the controversy: I don't know why you would get the iPhone 5C. If cost is your concern, buy a true budget phone. If you want the best, get an iPhone 5S. Opting for the iPhone 5C is a penny pinching compromise of the worst kind.

iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5C comparison review: what's the difference between the new iPhones
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
It looks like the iPhone 5C is the choice for those who want a bit more colour in their life. It is not Apple's cheaper iPhone, that accolade goes to the 8GB iPhone 4S (currently £349). When the features are compared the additional £80 is a small price to pay for the iPhone 5S.

iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5C head to head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
The iPhone 5S might be £80 more expensive than the iPhone 5C, but in our opinion it's worth the additional money. As well as a sleeker design, we found that the iPhone 5S Touch ID fingerprint scanner and A7 chip made for a smoother, more responsive experience. The iPhone 5S camera also delivers more natural-looking and detailed images compared to those shot on the iPhone 5C, and we also found that it came out on top in battery life.

67% Review: Apple iPhone 5s vs 5c
Source: PC Authority Archive.org version
Not much else is different. Both phones run iOS 7 by default – which has its detractors, but works fine on each. Both support all current 4G bands, and neither features NFC or 802.11ac Wi-Fi. However, it should be clear by now that there’s only one handset in the running when it comes to winning this particular race – it’s the 5s, and by several lengths. It’s lighter, faster, more desirable, has a better camera, and is considerably more innovative than its plastic-coated cousin.

Not exactly low cost, is it? In the U.S., you may get the iPhone 5C at $99 with a two year contract, but in India, this is essentially replacing the iPhone 5. The aluminum iPhone 5, with the "unapologetically plastic" shell. Pretty much the same internals and specs, but happily, you get a lot more colour options now. If only you can come to terms with a "plastic" iPhone. Unless that is the primary criteria for you, we would suggest picking up the iPhone 5, while it is still available. Or work a tad harder, and pick up the iPhone 5s. Personally, for all its positives, being seen with an iPhone 5c could mean people knowing that you couldn't afford the iPhone 5s. Not many buy the "I like this colour argument". But, if you are beyond the materialistic...

Overall, the iPhone 5C has really won us over, perhaps more than the iPhone 5 ever managed to do. If you can look past the design, and aren't keen on forking out for Apple's flagship iPhone 5S, the iPhone 5C is a worthy option.

Instead the iPhone 5C is stuck rubbing shoulders with the big guns of 2013, a lot of which have witnessed slight price drops since launch making them cheaper than this Apple offering, and along with sporting better specs and more compelling features, it makes things difficult for the 5C. It's not that Apple has done its best to make the iPhone 5C appealing, but as last year's phone re-packaged its hard to recommend it totally - although the large range of colours and combination with iOS 7 helps enormously.

iPhone 5C v iPhone 4S head–to–head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
The result was never in doubt. As you’d expect, the two-year-old iPhone 4S just could not compete with the 5C which is better in almost every department. Conversely, though, in every area the 4S performed well and was by no means put to shame by the 5C’s improved capabilities. As such, for anyone considering an iPhone for the first time, the 4S, at its slightly reduced cost, could prove enticing. For those considering an upgrade and impatient to wait for the 5S, put off by its increased cost, or who want a bright green, yellow, blue or red phone (it does also come in an unoffensive white), the 5C should leave you happy with its improved performance and design.

iPhone 5s vs iPhone 5c review
Source: PC Pro Archive.org version
It's still a very expensive handset, and one that arguably offers less value for money than our A-Listed HTC One, but next to the 5c – which is only £80 cheaper SIM free – it’s an easy choice. If you're in the market for a new iPhone now and are uncertain as to which way to go, the answer has to be to opt for the iPhone 5s. In two years' time, when you're installing iOS 8, you'll almost certainly regret it if you don't.

The iPhone 5C is a nice smartphone. However, we just can't see the need for it in the first place, unless it was cheaper. It's too expensive for what is effectively an iPhone 5 in a plastic shell with minor changes in hardware. There are better and cheaper Android devices on the market and those wishing to stick with iOS should pay the extra £80 for the iPhone 5S.

In the end, though, it's the 5c's price that really lets it down. What we were expecting from Apple when it announced a cheaper version of the iPhone was, well, something that was significantly cheaper than what went before. In fact, what we got was something that's only marginally less expensive, costing £469 SIM free for the 16GB version, and available free only on contracts of £31 per month and above. There's nothing wrong with the hardware, but at this price we feel it doesn't do enough.

All being said, the iPhone 5c is a great device and, if contract prices drop a little, could be Apple's best-selling phone ever. The colourful exterior is a winner and iOS 7 is a fantastic update. We think it looks better on the 5c than the 5s. However, convincing the world that it's worth the substantial outlay, especially when compared to other makers' deals, could be a hard sell.

Overall, it's another quality effort from Apple but as the device is only £60 cheaper than the iPhone 5s SIM-free it's still an expensive option. With the enhanced functionality that iOS brings to users and IT admins - it is an attractive proposition for first time iOS buyers, but Apple has missed an opportunity to make make it a compulsory purchase by not making it cheaper.

It’s not really clear why Apple has made the 5C. It is a great phone, sure, and anyone who does buy one will not feel short changed. But we're not sure who will buy it. The price means it has little chance of competing with Android devices – at any level – as it is more expensive than some high-end devices, and is even on par with the Samsung Galaxy S4. Any businesses considering offering a new Apple device to staff would be better off looking at the iPhone 5S because of its Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which most IT departments will likely see as a great extra level of protection for corporate data. Also, it’s not hard to imagine any executive worth his salt arguing that he can’t be seen with the ‘cheaper’ new iPhone device, even if the 5C still costs a lot of money.

We should be comparing the iPhone 5C against the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and HTC One Mini, but thanks to that hefty price tag Apple has slapped on its plastic clad handset we can't as it's already priced itself out of that market. In summary the iPhone 5C is a great phone, it's just a shame it's last year's great phone wrapped in a less appealing shiny plastic body and slapped with a still-premium price tag. It's not that Apple has done its best to make the iPhone 5C appealing, but as last year's phone re-packaged its hard to recommend it totally - although the large range of colours and combination with iOS 7 helps enormously.

There can be no one verdict on the iPhone 5c - reactions to it are so extreme and subjective that any attempt at an all-encompassing objective pronouncement is impossible. Daft, even. The most we can do is set it in context, and be honest. Lastly, we love the OS. Yes, we can see every one of the things that need fixing, and we know that iOS 7 could have been so much wilder. But the new OS is beautiful, and we like celebrating the delightful, rather than meanly fixating on every failing.

We’re not, however, Apple’s only audience, and while the iPhone 5c may be, for the most part, last year’s flagship in this year’s fashion, there’s no denying that there’s an appetite for that. The iPhone 5 remained an excellent option up until its (perhaps premature) retirement, and the iPhone 5c takes the best of that and makes it more eye-catching and more affordable. The power users should look to the iPhone 5s, but for the mass market, the iPhone 5c will open doors that only a colorful, playful device can.

These two handsets are both great, evenly matched for storage, camera and battery life. We expect that no-one would be disappointed with the purchase of either.

You will, however, notice the extra £100 you have in your pocket after choosing the Moto X rather than the iPhone 5C. So unless you are wedded to the idea of having an iPhone, we can't honestly recommend you choose the 5C over the Moto X.

Comment

Model:

The Apple iPhone 5c is only technically a new product. It sports some new cute color options, but at a closer look it is just the iPhone 5 with a slightly cheaper price tag and new colors. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because the iPhone 5 was a good phone. There are a few small tweaks though: iOS 7, slightly extended battery life, and a few minor lowlight improvements to the front facing camera. It has also got more widely compatible global LTE coverage. Overall, it would be difficult for most iPhone 5 users to really tell the difference, if it were not for iOS7. The screen is the same 4 inch, 1136 x 640 pixel Retina display as the iPhone 5's. Nowadays, a 4 inch screen is starting to seem a little small. The bezels of the Apple iPhone 5c seem unnecessarily wide.

At the moment, in terms of performance it is even not too different from the iPhone 5s (with the exception of the fingerprint scanner). However, once more apps and the OS are optimized to take advantage of the more advanced hardware in the 5s, this will change dramatically. In other words, the 5c is really not future proof. The colorful plastic casings do not feel cheap, and give it a comfortable, sturdy heft.
