This thing is kick ass! I upgraded from a 4S and switched from Sprint to AT&T in the process too. I'm amazed that I have not charged the battery in about 40 hours yet it is still 71% charged! Usually, my 4S would burn through a full charge in 8-10 hours.
Amazing. Simply amazing. |

How do you know someone owns an Apple product?
Just wait, they'll tell you. |

I just have the 5. It has been my first iphone and am pretty pleased. My battery life is the same way. We went camping and over 3 days I didn't charge it until the final day. We were in a low signal area so I believe that contributed to a little quicker battery life loss. Bluetooth drains it down pretty quick.

Just got one my myself, our first smartphone.
BTW, this was not by choice. I found out that my 'water resistant' phone was not as water resistant as we hoped. What's a good case for it? I heard that Otterbox dropped the ball with the 5C. |

I am at 75 hours since the last charge at currently at 42% battery life.

My mom has one. It's the first smartphone she's had and she's 61. She likes it.

I picked up a 5s and my only complaint so far is the print reader can get oily and not work, other than that it's pretty awesome!

5c - Plastic casing
5s - metal case I went with a 5s when I upgraded from my old 4s. Did not like the plastic casing or the candy-like colors on the 5c. |

I managed to get the battery life to last much longer on my 4s by turning a lot of things off like push email, and different apps that use data and background updating apps. Also turned off siri and spotlight. Apps that needed data that I didn't use unless I was at home where i have wifi were turned off.
I recently upgraded to the 5s and it's leaps and bounds better than my old 4s as far as how it functions with the newest iOS updates. When I went to the apple store they offered to buy my old phone for $199 which I jumped on. So I only had to pay $230 for my 64gb 5s which my 4s was a 64gb as well. Enjoy your 5c |

Slippery little bitch though. Same here but on the 5S. I had the 4s and 5 before this one on no complaints except the charging port taking a ahit on the 5 |

Slippery little bitch though. I think people that use uncased iPhones are nuts, but it does suck that you HAVE to put a case on it to make it useful. I'd like a version (5b) that had a rugged/rubberized case from the factory. |

View Quote The 5 s has the 64 bit processor and discreet video subsystem in addition to the aforementioned difference in case design. The 5c is actually the previous iPhone 5 in a steel reinforced plastic to lower the cost. |
