I don't get it (build quality)

The 5C was a great phone. I would buy another with updated specs. (I'm a "plastic phone" guy....)

 

The 5c was solid, and I'd love to see a revision of it at some point, or even something more premium with ceramic.

 

Physically, the 5C is built like a tank. I remember holding one the week it was launched and thinking that it felt hefty and solid.

The fact that the back casing is a single, unbroken piece of tough plastic has a lot to do with this. My ultimate phone would have the resilience of the 5C casing, combined with waterproofing.

 

5C was a good 50% more expensive, with some discounts, 100% more expensive than the 5X

 

The 5c should've had Touch ID. But I guess it wouldn't have been as cheap as it was if it included that.

 

5c is really weak. Even with rubber case it had cracked screen after first it hit floor... all 5 are great but not plastic thing

 

Yep, I have to agree. The screens cracked very easily.

 

Some of the sturdiest phones were plastic. Blackberry was maybe the best. I owned several and they didn't have cases.
