Past iPhones haven't been big on color. The iPhone 5c, seems to have borrowed some iPod DNA. With a plastic build and five color choices including blue, green, pink, white, and yellow, the 16GB model is $99 with a two-year contract, half the price of the high-end 16GB iPhone 5s.
With the flagship 5s, you get a solid aluminum build, the first 64-bit phone CPU, Apple's A7, with motion coprocessor, the new Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which lets you lock your phone and make purchases with your fingertip, and an improved camera with a larger image sensor and aperture, bigger pixels, and a dual LED flash.
The 5c, on the other hand, packs last year's A6 processor, and the same 8-megapixel camera found in the iPhone 5. In fact, besides the new build, the 5c shares all the features of the iPhone 5. Aside from a few minor enhancements to the battery and the front-facing camera, the only difference is that both new iPhones ship with iOS 7, Apple's completely revamped mobile operating system.
Though the 5c has a plastic build and lacks the upgrades of the 5s, its lower price and fun, colorful design help distinguish it from its more powerful sibling. And as with every iPhone, there's a wide variety of case designs to choose from, ranging from super-thin fashion statements to bulked-up, ruggedized tanks that will keep your phone protected no matter how badly you abuse it.
