But I didn't buy an unlocked version. I signed a 2 year contract with Verizon and bought the phone for $99. So, I'm assuming I would only have to buy the nano sim card if I bought an unlocked version?

Not sure how that works then! Sorry. I will assume that you will have to buy the sim if it doesnt come with one.

Your iPhone should come with a sim already in it.
Mine did!
 
I got mine delivered on the 20th. Blue with 32gb. Sold my 5 64gb to my sister. I love the color and it's still solid. It's the unlocked version with a tmobile sim but I'm using it on AT&T and I get LTE :)
 
So how do others find the sim tray? As I noted earlier in this thread, mine is slightly recessed and as a result it is now noticeably dark around the perimeter of the tray given that dust etc has collected....

Again - everything else is solid and a beautiful device and don't intend in being a party pooper in an otherwise very upbeat and colorful thread!!
 
So I made a mistake. I was past due for an upgrade on my iPhone 4 8gb. Somewhere along the lines I convinced myself I wanted the bigger screens etc. and over the weekend I upgraded to a Galaxy S4. It really is a good phone, but the familiarity is gone and so is the polished experience.

Thankfully Best Buy has a 15 day return policy. Taking mine back tomorrow morning and hopefully leaving with a blue, white or green 5c!
 
Warning to 5s buyers, don't spend too much time in this thread. The people's positivity in this thread mixed with the amazing colors may have you converting to the c!


( sneaks out the back door )

Hahathat's great.. And so true! I was like, "man, the 5 c sounds nice" (and I'll admit when I held one, it was very, very nice.)

But once I re-examined my phone, I remembered why I stayed with the 5s. Plus I went with white vs. black like my 5 was, so it's like a new phone to me :)

But keep up the positivity everyone, this thread actually is really good
 
Why did Apple choose such an ugly wallpaper for their promo shots? The first one looks a zillion times better than the one on Apple.com.

My best friend made this mistake too. Fortunately for him his S4 can be sold for nearly $450 bucks on eBay. He's trying to sell it and come back to Apple and the iPhone.
 
I was getting the space grey iPhone 5S until seeing all the amazing pictures of the blue 5C in this thread, think my mind has been changed! :)

To be honest, all of the advertising and promotional photos of iPhone 5C look poor. The TV ads are cool but they make the phones look worse than how they look in person - the phones look a lot cheaper in Apple's promotional material. I read one review which stated the 5c was maybe the only product they guy had ever seen where the phone looks better in person than in promotional materials...

Loving the phone and all (blue is probably the best colour IMO) but i couldn't help notice that you've probably spent all your time playing with it instead of checking your emails....

That's actually my phone - not his haha.

Can I just say for the record that I had a problem with my emails when I switched phones and activated emails again. All my emails were read but they appeared as unread as the phone loaded them all automatically to my mail account. Therefore when I took the pictures of my 5C I still had no idea how to clear them. THAT IS NOW FIXED. I DO READ MY EMAILS. LET IT GO PLEASE!!

:p

Great to see more people getting in on the 5C lovin! What a great phone, right?!

Still think we've gone a little quiet on the picture front. I'd upload more but I feel I've taken all I can! Can try and put some more of the blue up though if anyone is interested! We need more of the pink!! ;)
 
So we're closing in on a week. How's the back holding up for those of you that have decided to go caseless? And your screen?

There was a small speck of something stuck to my screen this morning, and I didn't want to try to pick it off with my fingernail so I used a microfiber cloth and some of my eyeglass cleaning solution to wipe the screen down. I haven't inspected it since then, but here's hoping that didn't put a dozen or so scratches down.

I use a screen protector, front and back. I still haven't gotten my spectra wraps for the band yet, but so far, zero scratches.
 
Man, this thread has got me curious. Currently using a 5, and I'm tired of babying this phone. Our country doesn't get the 5c till December. Sucks. I'm really diggin the white and green one too.
 
Just received my green iPhone 5c. I can already tell I'm going to love her :D. I'll post pics later.

So as an update; the s4 is gone and I'm rocking a 32gb 5c! In green, which I honestly would not have even considered if not for the pics and love in this thread.

I was not only able to return the s4 and reverse my upgrade status, but they refunded my case and screen protector which gave me the extra cash to say screw it and go 32gb. Love it!
 
My white 5C came in yesterday! Loving everything about it so far! Need to find a case though.
 
Ok so mine is having an issue...it keeps changing the timezone to Chicago which gives me the wrong time - I'm in Louisville ky. Is there any way to fix this? I can turn it on manual time but would prefer it to be automatic

Sprint network 32gb 5c
 
As dorky as it sounds, I'm tempted to pick up another case or two and switch 'em out on a weekly basis. I'm thinking pink or yellow next to go over my blue phone. I already have a green one.

I think the black one is a bit too boring, and the white a bit too plain, personally.
