The iPhone 5C, announced on September 10, 2013 and released September 20, 2013, replaced the aluminum body of the iPhone 5 with a colorful hard-coated polycarbonate (plastic) unibody, reinforced by an internal steel frame. It was sold in five finishes - blue, green, pink, yellow, and white - and positioned as the lower-priced iPhone of its generation.
Internally the 5C is essentially an iPhone 5: it uses the same dual-core Apple A6 chip, the same 4-inch 640x1136 Retina IPS display, and the same 8 MP rear camera. Improvements over the 5 are modest, including a slightly larger 1510 mAh battery and wider LTE band support. It shipped with iOS 7 and can be updated to iOS 10.3.4.
The 5C was the budget option launched alongside the higher-end iPhone 5S on the same day, and it lacks the 5S's Touch ID fingerprint sensor and 64-bit A7 chip. From about $99.
