iPhone 5c

Background

The iPhone 5c is one of two successors to the iPhone 5, along with its higher-end counterpart, the iPhone 5s. Apple held an event to formally introduce the iPhone 5c and 5s on September 10, 2013. The 5c uses much of the same hardware as the iPhone 5, lacking new features from the 5s: it uses the previous A6 chip from the iPhone 5 instead of the A7, does not include fingerprint recognition, and lacks the Burst iSight camera mode and Slow-motion video recording mode. It uses a polycarbonate casing (in blue, green, pink, yellow, and white colors) instead of the metal used by the 5 and 5s. On March 18, 2014 a 8 GB version of the device was released but will be sold in only five markets: U.K., France, Germany, Australia and China.
