iPhone 5C is a phone that goes into history. The reason for this is that it's the first budget iPhone. Apple has stubbornly refusedfor a long timeto meet the demands of the market, but in the end the company agreed. iPhone 5C was announced along with the new iPhone 5S premium phone. This phone is for those who can not afford the iPhone 5S. iPhone 5C is a smartphone which can meet the characteristics of the current model iPhone 5S. Why is that? Because the "budget" iPhone is largely identical to the iPhone 5! iPhone 5C comes with the slogan "more fun, more colors", as a result of offering iPhone 5C in several colors, which is really a precedent.

iPhone 5C specs

As we said, the iPhone 5C is very similar to iPhone 5. Below the surface is appealing A6 processor taken from iPhone 5. On the surface, its place was taken by Retina display with a standard 4 inches and a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels.

On the back of the phone is well-known 8MP camera with LED flash. On the front lies the secondary camera of 1.9MP. You must be wondering where is the difference between the two phones!? The answer is in the new iOS 7 operating system and a stronger battery that iPhone 5C owns.

The body of the phone is made of quality plastic, and the structure of the device is reinforced with steel. iPhone 5C is offered in several colors: yellow, red, green, blue and white.

This design gives a new and positive way in the fight against major competitors : HTC One Mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.
