First, Apple has decided to ship each iPhone 5c with a color-matched lock and homescreen wallpaper pre-installed and activated on every new device, which has a small but significant effect on consumer experience.
#SCREEN LIGHTS UP BUT NO DISPLAY IPHONE 5C SOFTWARE#
We’re treating iOS 7 to its own separate review, but it’s worth highlighting some of the software features that really pop on the iPhone 5c. Both ship with iOS 7, and one of its key improvements is that has a new, lightweight system font that shows off the Retina’s text rendering prowess extremely well. And the Retina screen gains additional new life thanks to iOS 7, the mobile OS overhaul that Apple is launching alongside the iPhone 5c and 5s. Other manufacturers have exceeded Apple’s PPI count with screens of their own, but the 4-inch Retina shows no signs of age despite now being year-old technology.Īpple’s iPhone display makes text ultra crisp and clear, but it also offers the best and most consistent color and tone balance of any mobile screen in my experience. If the 5c is your first iPhone, or your first Retina-capable iPhone, than the screen will truly impress. If you’re familiar with Apple’s iPhone Retina displays, than the screen on the 5c needs no introduction. It doesn’t seem to make much different to speaker performance, however. the 5 and 5s: its lock/power button appears to be the same as the volume buttons, which could help Apple save on manufacturing costs, and there’s a simple, four-hole single speaker grill on the bottom, whereas the metal designs have two grills, each with two rows of holes. Some interesting details I noticed about the iPhone 5c vs.
The material of the case, while glossy and smooth, doesn’t feel prone to slipping from your grip, and the rounded edges and corners are also a very nice fit for the contours of your hand. The added weight gives it a nice heft it’s just a shade lighter than the iPhone 4S, which lends it a feeling of substance. In fact the iPhone 5c is slightly heavier than the iPhone 5s, weighing in at 132g vs. Further, it points out that there’s a steel frame (which doubles as an antenna) girding that polycarbonate shell, which results in a phone that feels sturdy in the hand, without the flex or perceived fragility of other plastic device designs. The answer is a resounding ‘No.’ Apple notes that the iPhone 5c is actually polycarbonate because it wanted to get the colors just right, and doing so in metal just wasn’t feasible. So does dipping back into a polycarbonate shell threaten the image Apple has tried so hard to cultivate? To date, Apple’s choice of materials has been one of its prime differentiating factors, at least from an aesthetics point of view, vs. Apple went plastic, or should I say went back to plastic, after switching to metal and glass with the iPhone 4. Could miss out on some apps or app features designed for 64-bit iPhone 5sĪrguably the iPhone 5c’s most noteworthy feature is its new design.New design is easy on the eyes and the hand.Essentially the same phone inside as the iPhone 5.MSRP: 16GB for $99 on contract/$549 unlocked 32GB for $199 on contract/$649 unlocked.
