Design

Reinforced with a steel frame that also acts as an antenna, the 5c feels durable. Apple offers the iPhone 5c in five colours: Blue, Green, Pink, White and Yellow. The bottom of the 5c has one speaker port, along with its Lightning connector and 3.5-mm headphone jack. At 4.9 x 2.33 x 0.35 inches and weighing 4.65 ounces, the iPhone 5c is slightly larger and thicker than the iPhone 5s (4.87 x 2.31 x 0.3 inches) and 0.7 ounces heavier.

Display

The 4-inch, 1136 x 640-pixel display on the iPhone 5c is smaller and also comes with a low resolution. With 326 pixels per inch.

With a brightness of 505 lux, the iPhone 5c’s display is about 100 lux brighter than the smartphone average

Audio

Tt has only one speaker on the bottom, but the phone’s audio sounds just as great as the iPhone 5.

Interface

The new look of iOS 7 provides a more basic look. A Control Center gives quick access to settings including the Airplane Mode, music, camera, Wi-Fi, calculator, timer apps and flashlight. But, the u cannot create their own shortcuts here. Home Screen Swipe down opens the Notification Center, which displays missed Facebook, Twitter updates, email, weather and stock updates. Another feature lets one transfer files wirelessly using bluetooth or Wi-Fi between iOS 7 devices.

Camera

The 8-MP camera takes excellent photos and captures 1080p HD videos. The HDR mode offered by the camera delivers wonderful results. A second shutter button allows the user to take still shots, recording video simultaneously. The camera app of iOS 7 also features a large shutter button at the bottom that offers four different shooting modes, namely, Photo, Video, Pano and Square. But, one can’t capture slo-mo videos as well as there is no burst mode.

Battery Life

The Apple iPhone 5c lasts 6 hours and 21 in a battery test, with a screen brightness of 40 percent and Web surfing.

Configurations

Apart from the five color variants, the iPhone 5c is available with 16GB of storage or 32GB of storage for a higher price. But, this phone’s storage space is not expandable, unlike other Apple phone models.

The iPhone 5c is one of the top smartphones in its price bracket making it an excellent option for customers. Also, the new iPhone wins over most of its counterparts when it comes to the battery life. Overall, the iPhone 5c is a smartphone that combines great looks, slick OS and best-in-class app selection.
