Official - I've got my 5C

[rdmedina7]

Just got my 5C in green 32 GB last week. It's amazing. Not a huge upgrade from the 4S, but it is significantly better. Still adjusting to how much lighter and thinner it is.
Major upgrade for me is that it finally vibrates!
I was running with my 4S w/ a broken vibrate motor for a few months -.-
And to top it off, this 5C helped me break away from my rip-off of a contract w/ AT&T, into a much cheaper, slightly better Virgin Mobile. Not to mention I was able to use BillMeLater for it!

I had a 5c in white for a couple of days but I couldn't fully enjoy it and it's plastic knowing there was a fuller-featured metal-bodied higher capacity higher performing option in preferable colors for a couple of bucks more. I'm glad there's the option.

Daughter grabbed a pink one sis in law too... I grabbed the 5S I got rid if the HTC one so got the 5S free BUT was debating there to save $$ cause they both perform the same at this point

Why didn't they use a black back? It would've sold the most IMO

My only problem with the 5c is the few colors it's is offered in. Only one of the available colors would I even consider. I, again, think black should have been offered.

The only reason I'm hesitating on pulling the trigger on the 5c is the lack of touch ID, there is just no going back.

Got my mother one for Xmas replaced her iPhone 4 .. As a 5s user I would never get something that was not top of the line or the best available. Overall it's a solid phone feels good on the hand and works well just like the iPhone 5

I agree. It's funny how some of us love it and some of the android folks swear its a gimmick.

It's a gimmick until samsung has one, then it's innovation

Wife and I got the 5C; mine white, hers pink. We both upgraded from the 3GS. Big step up. Loving it. Coming from the 3GS, the difference in specs is quite noticeable. The 3GS's were working fine actually, but it was just time to upgrade. Can't believe we waited so long.

Just got my iPhone 5C in white and so far it's been great. I've been thinking about exchanging it for the 5S, but I'm unsure about it. I have 14 days to decide.

Does anyone here think it's worth doing the exchange and spending the extra money?

Up to you I like how the 5c feels on my hand but love my 5s

It's up to you, have the 5s and it works great for me. Could always go and take a look at one.

I bought an iPhone 5C 32GB in yellow in January and I really love it. Since I prefer prepaid phones I bought my iPhone for the full price. I signed up with T-Mobile and got the $30 unlimited text and web and 100 minutes talk time plan.

My phone history involves mostly dumb phones from tracfone. I'll just cover smartphones:

AT&T ZTE Avail Z990
iPhone 4 8GB
Nokia Lumia 521
iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB (replaced with my 5c).

After having the 5C for a good week, I ended up swapping it for the 5S. My biggest issue was the color - I love black phones and I normally don't have a case on my phone, so that kinda disappointed me that they opted to not make the 5C in black, or at least gray.

Another thing that I prefer is the form factor. I felt like the 5C was just going to slip out of my hands one day and break. Nothing too big, but still kind of bothersome.

At the end of the day, the 5C and 5S are GREAT phones and either choice is a good one. If the 5S didn't exist, I would've been just fine with the 5C.

I bought a white 5c in February on Virgin Mobile. I did pay $399.99 for it BUT I also only pay $30 a month now and don't have any sort of contract so for me it was well worth it. Had a iPhone 4 on Virgin before this and I can say the performance difference is insane!

I got my iPhone 5C in white. Love this phone. They did a really good job on this plastic finish. I like it better then the glass. Still feels premium but I feel safer after it surviving falls since I don't use cases.

I have an otterbox commuter and a griffin reveal and I use the griffin way more just because the otterbox makes it feel like a brick. I use the OB strictly for work or when I go running
