Apple iPhone 5c or 5s
For the first time ever Apple broke pattern and released not one, but two new iPhones this year. The successor we all knew was coming - the iPhone 5s - is joined by the "unapologetically plastic" iPhone 5c, meaning that we no longer get last year's flagship as the second best iPhone on tap.
The Apple iPhone 5c
On paper, the Apple iPhone 5c stands as basically an iPhone 5 in a shiny new outfit that comes in a number of bright colors. And, if you think about it, that's the most logical thing to do - the colorful iPod lineup has been getting lots of praise on account of looks so it was about time Apple's smartphones got the same treatment. The iPhone 5c is so keen on showing how young and fresh it is, that the traditional black is not among its five paint jobs (white, blue, yellow, green and pink).
There's a catch though. The Apple 5c comes with a glossy plastic body instead of the sleek-looking aluminum chassis of the iPhone 5. The reasons for the switch will probably never be officially revealed, but it could be anything from supply issues to budget, to simply aiming to deliver a fresh new look to match the redesigned iOS 7.
Finding the truth is hardly the point here, though. What we are more interested in is whether the company that repeatedly bashed competitors about cheap plastic phones over the past few years has created a plastic phone that you can be proud to be seen in public with.
Before we continue, here's the Apple iPhone 5c review cheat sheet.

Pricing remains the elephant in the room regarding the iPhone 5c, as it slides in just $100/€100 below the iPhone 5s. That's as much as the iPhone 5 would've cost had it not been discontinued and we have yet to see if this is a change for the better or worse. On one hand you are getting a fresh new design instead of one that's been around for almost a year, but on the other, you are losing the premium metal body while still paying the same price.
The high asking price also sends the iPhone 5c right in the way of the current Android and Windows Phone top-dogs, pushing its (now one-year-old) internals to the limit to keep up. It's certainly a curious starting point and we are excited to see how the iPhone 5c race develops. The unboxing and hardware tour is right after the break.
Apart from the price, here are some key differences between the phones:
* Processor
The iPhone 5S has a faster processor than the 5C. The 5S sports an Apple A7 processor, while the heart of the 5C is a 1Ghz Apple A6. According to Apple, the iPhone 5s is the first smartphone in the world to be powered by a chip with a 64-bit architecture. The iPhone 5s' A7 chip delivers CPU and graphics performance up to 2x faster than the A6 chip.
* M7 co-processor
The iPhone 5S is the first iPhone to include a motion co-processor. This is a chip that interacts with the iPhone's physical sensors--the accelerometer, compass, and gyroscope--to provide new feedback and options to apps. This could include much more detailed fitness and exercise apps, and the ability to know whether the user is sitting or standing. It's such a new feature that there won't be a lot of apps that use it right away, but it could be a major asset.
* Camera
The camera on the 5S offers dual-flash for truer-to-life colors, the ability to record slow-motion video at 120 frames/second in 720p HD, and a burst mode that captures up to 10 photos per second. The 5C's camera, while very good, offers none of these advanced features. Both 5S and 5C max out at 8 megapixel still images and 1080p HD video but 5C lacks the advanced features.
<br />
* iOS 7
The new iPhone 5s will run iOS 7 that leverages its 64-bit A7 chip, the Touch ID fingerprint identity sensor, and the new iSight camera. It also sports a brand new user interface and brings new features, such as a refreshed multitasking view, AirDrop, and Control Center. It also offers new native apps and a new version of Siri.
* Touch ID - the fingerprint scanner
The most talked about feature of the iPhone 5s, the Touch ID is a new fingerprint identity sensor integrated with the phone's Home button. Fingerprint recognition can be used for unlocking the phone and also for approving purchases from iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store. The Touch ID feature is capable of 360-degree readability allowing users to enter fingerprints in portrait, landscape, or any other position. It even supports multiple fingerprints. The iPhone 5s Home button is made from sapphire and is scratch resistant. For now, the scanner is only available on the 5S, not the 5C.
<br />
* Colors
If bright colors are what you are looking for in a smartphone then the 5C suits best for you. iPhone 5C comes in yellow, green, blue, pink, and white. The iPhone 5S has more colors than previous models--in addition to the standard slate and gray, it now also has a gold option.
* Memory
If memory is priority then iPhone 5S offers a maximum storage of 64GB. The 5C is only available is 16GB and 32 GB models.
If you are capacity-hungry and the new fingerprint sensor excites you then the 5S should be worth the extra cost. It does have a better processor and therefore will perform better and faster than the 5C.
However, for an average user the 5C would suffice too. The fingerprint sensor is definitely an avoidable feature and something that one is not losing out much on. The plastic on the iPhone 5C is personally disappointing but that does not take much away from the 5C from being a potential buy.
Depending on the usability, budget and preferences one should make a buying decision. If you are an Apple enthusiast in dilemma, hopefully now you can make an informed decision.
नई दिल्ली। मंगलवार को लॉंच हुए, एप्पल आइफोन 5-सी को अब तक का सबसे सस्ता आइफोन माना जा रहा है। ऐसा पहली बार हुआ है जब एप्पल ने एक ही दिन में दो आइफोन लॉंच किए हों जिनमें से एक सबसे महंगा और सबसे सस्ता (आइफोन 5-सी) है।
पढ़े: लो आ गया सस्ता आईफोन, क्लिक करें और जानें कीमत
एक साथ लॉन्च हुए इन दोनों आइफोन को एक-दूसरे से कोई खतरा नहीं है लेकिन ऐसी उम्मीद की जा रही है कि पिछले साल लॉन्च हुए एप्पल आइफोन 5 को हाल ही में लॉंच हुए एप्पल आइफोन 5-सी से कड़ी चुनौती मिल सकती है। विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि इस फोन में बहुत कुछ समान है और दाम के अंतर की वजह से एप्पल 5, एप्पल 5-सी से पिछड़ सकता है।
चलिए अब बात करते हैं एप्पल 5 और एपल 5-सी के फीचर्स और उसकी विशेषताओं की और जानते हैं कि जिस आइफोन 5 को खरीदने के लिए आप इतने परेशान थे वह कैसे आइफोन 5-सी से जंग हार सकता है।
एपल 5-सी और एप्पल 5 दोनों की ही रेटिना डिस्प्ले 4 इंच की है जिसका रेजोल्यूशन 1136X640 है। दोनों ही फोन ए6 प्रोसेसर से संचालित हैं और दोनों में ही समान रूप से वाइ-फाइ, जीपीएस, ब्लूटूथ और 4जी एलटीई जैसे फीचर्स मौजूद हैं। दोनों आइफोनों में फर्क बस इतना है कि जहां एप्पल 5 एल्यूमीनियम से बना आइफोन है, वहीं 5-सी प्लास्टिक से निर्मित है। हां, गौर करने वाली बात यह है कि ब्लैक और सफेद रंग की वजह से जहां आइफोन 5 अभी तक बिजनेस क्लास की पहचान था वहीं एप्पल आइफोन 5सी नीले, पीले, गुलाबी, बैंगनी आदि जैसे रंगों में उपलब्ध होगा और ग्राहक अपनी पसंद के रंग के अनुसार आइफोन का चुनाव कर सकते हैं।
एप्पल 5-सी का कैमरा 8 मेगापिक्सल है वहीं पिछले मॉडल एप्पल आइफोन 5 में भी 8 मेगापिक्सल का कैमरा था। आइफोन 5 खरीदने वालों को थोड़ी निराशा हाथ लग सकती है क्योंकिआइफोन 5-सी का कैमरा ज्यादा बेहतर है। आइफोन 5सी का कैमरा पांच लेंसों से बना है और इसमें हाइब्रिड आइआर फिल्टर भी लगा है।
बैटरी लाइफ की बात करें तो एप्पल 5 की तुलना में एप्पल 5-सी की बैटरी लाइफ ज्यादा लंबी है। इसीलिए अगर आप एप्पल 5 खरीदने की योजना बना रहे थे तो आपके लिए 5सी खरीदना फायदे का सौदा साबित हो सकता है। यह सस्ता भी है और फीचर्स भी समान हैं।

Apple iPhone 5c review: The color of magic
GSMArena team,
26 September 2013.
Introduction
The Apple iPhone 5 is gone for good, abandoned and replaced by the fresh iPhone 5c. Initial rumors erroneously suggested that the lowercase letter stands for cheap, but it turned out that the Cupertino-based giant had color on its mind instead.For the first time ever Apple broke pattern and released not one, but two new iPhones this year. The successor we all knew was coming - the iPhone 5s - is joined by the "unapologetically plastic" iPhone 5c, meaning that we no longer get last year's flagship as the second best iPhone on tap.
