    What's the difference between the 5c and the 5s?

    Was doing some phone browsing yesterday and noticed the 5c was slightly cheaper.

    Ta :)

    one has a fancy machined metal case, one has a plastic case. one has touchID, one doesn't. one has a slightly quicker processor. that's it.
    globally the 5C has been a bit of a flop though. not considered cheap enough. most people have just gone for an extra 30 quid or whatever it is, and gone for the flagship 5S

    I have the 5S, let down to be honest. Hardly differs from the 4S. Although it has touch sensitive button thingy-majingy, that's very sensitive.

    The 5C is basically the 5 in a plastic case.

    That's why I decided against a new iPhone when upgrade time came, the pace of development on them is just so slow now. When I got the 4S it seemed like a massive upgrade from the 3GS - that was mainly down to the screen. The 5S still has the exact same pixel density as the 4 that came out in 2010, I can't see why they haven't upped it, the Nexus phone I've got has a much higher pixel density than the 'retina' display and it makes massive difference.

    Me too - stayed with my 4S - cant see any benefit going to the 5 unless you are still on a 3G or moving to iphone from another phone

    Especially when I was offered to keep my existing £40 per month contract with a free phone upgrade to a 5 or when I said I was looking elsewere able to keep my 4S for £9.50 per month Hmm so an exta £30 per month for a 5 didnt make any sense
