For the first time ever, Apple launched a second device alongside it’s next generation iPhone 5S

 

iPhone 5C is official. Apple has just announced not one but two iPhones this year, the new flagship iPhone 5S and the colorful iPhone 5C.

 

“This year, we’re going to replace the iPhone 5 with not one, but two new designs,” said Phil Schriller during the Apple keynote.

 

iPhone 5C Price

The lower-cost iPhone 5C has been speculated as the budget iPhone. But it turns out not as low cost as expected. With a two year contract, iPhone 5C starts at $99 for a 16GB version. While the 32GB version is going for $199.

 

Those who want a factory unlocked iPhone 5C will have to pay $549 for a 16GB version and $649 for a 32GB version.

iPhone 5C Design

Slightly larger than the iPhone 5S, the one-piece plastic body is shiny and smooth to the touch. Apple has repeatedly mentioned during the media event about the ‘unapologetic’ plastic build. It’s the most solid polycarbonate build on a smartphone and the glossy finish is not a fingerprint magnet, unlike some other phones we have encountered

 

If you think the iPhone 5S’ glass and metal body is too fragile, the iPhone 5C is ready to handle it’s share of accidental drops with rounder edges

 

iPhone 5C Camera

There are speculations that the iPhone 5C’s camera would have lower specs compared to iPhone 5. But it came out to be quite similar to the iPhone 5, featuring an 8 megapixel as well as a HD front facing camera. Apple did upgrade the FaceTime camera.

 

iPhone 5C is ready for pre-order on September 13 and will be released to the public together with the flagship iPhone 5S on September 20.
