I'm happy with my 5S.



But i still think the 5C feels better in the hand than the flagship.



Simply feels more fun.


It does. I got my 5s a bit after my 5c but it's likely I'll never sell the 5c as it really makes me smile when I see it.

I'll sell the 5s on the cusp of the iPhone 6 release.

I agree.

I think it looks and feels better in the hand.

I want the iPhone 6 to have more in common with the 5C than the 5/5S.
 
An important advantage of the 5C is that it fully supports the 4G bands used in Europe. The iPhone 5 is basically a crippled device for European 4G networks because 4G is rolled out on 800MHz and 1800MHz, and the iPhone 5 only supports 1800MHz.

I love my iPhone 5, I would keep it forever if it supported LTE800 (and was 32GB).

So much wisdom.
 
I have the iPhone 5 at the moment. I like my 5 but am also being drawn to the 5c for some reason. I am not interested in touch id etc. anyone else who has the 5 feel like getting the 5c?

I would probably hold on to a iPhone 5 and wait for the 6.

For me. I came from 5 and rocking a green 5C. Sold my 5 coz it was out of warranty and if 6 were to release, it would reach my country by end of year. So picked up a 5C for the moment. I can say I love the color and thought that 5C is pretty refreshing.

I have to apologize to Apple, the 5c, and 5c owners. Over the weekend I fell in love with the 5c. More specifically the green model. And I'm a 5 owner also.

I don't know what it was, but the bright colorfulness to the phone I think has me drawn in. Its just, something. I don't know, but its beautiful.

Now I want one, but I don't want to sell my iPhone 5. Maybe when they go on clearance someone will offer a discount for off contract sales.
 
One more convert from 5s to 5c

OK have been following this thread for a long time and reading the stories and pics somehow wanted me to try 5c for a while.

Mrs had a 4s and I bought 5s after looking at 5c reading a lot of reviews. Somehow head said 5s , but heart and soul was always in 5c.

Was using 5s but still somehow my heart keeps pushing me towards 5c. Convinced my Mrs to take 5s as its too good for kids pics with options like slow-mo and low-light pic. Sold her 4s and got 220 for that And I bought myself a blue 5c with yellow and white apple cases.

Oh God honestly never have I been so impressed with the feel of an apple device before. Even Ipad air was not impressive for me as its a usual standard apple quality. 5c is simply a beautiful piece of gadget I have ever owned. Very happy in the end.

Naked still the best...

I have a white iPhone 5c. Owned it since late last year.

I've been using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case for a while now. Basically to protect my phone from drops...

However, I still can't get over how slim and beautiful this thing is, and the feel it has in the hands is unbelievable. So I take the case off sometimes to enjoy it.

Dang.. I wish I trusted myself more. Hahaha!

what's the point getting a 5c phone if u gona slap a case on it
 
I just purchased a used 5c from Swappa. I've got to say, it feels very comfy in my hands. Definitely comfier than the 5/5s. It takes me back to the days of the original iPhone and 3GS. One of the reasons I've started using cases on the iPhone is because I'm not fond of all the sharp edges on the 4. It may be nice to look at but having the edges dig into your palm is an annoyance. My only complaint with the 5c is the plastic is too darned slippery. Wish they'd used a soft-touch exterior for better grip.

Point of making it look different everyday and use the phone however you like it, rather than leaving it on same color. Fun.

Of course use it without case at office, but not at home due to kids dropping the phones.

My daughter is dying to get away from her Galaxy SIII and come back to Apple.

Naturally, she wants the pink 5C. I'm hoping I can come up with a way to get it for her soon.
