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.

you don't use it if the battery last that long.

4S didn't last long and my use habits are the same between the two.  I'm wondering if maybe there are more AT&T towers or something and its not having to search for service as much, thus retaining power.

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 have a windows phone and I like it, nokia lumia 521.  Super basic, makes phone calls, and texting is easy.  I think it's under a hundred bucks unsubsidized.

Actually EagleArmsHBAR meant he got the Magpul iPhone CASE on ebay, specifically this one.

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.
Link Posted: 4/15/2014 11:00:57 PM EDT

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

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.

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.
