It's simply an iPhone 4 with a unibody plastic body. That's how I see it.
Did you mean 5?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

That 5c "Plastic" is a very durable material used to make the cockpit windshield of some jet aircraft. It's not exactly Lego grade plastic. Early iPhones were made of it. It's called Polycarbonate.

I got the 5c today, it's surprisingly nice to hold and use. I'll be very happy using this for a while and I don't think I'll need a case.
This was supposed to be a refurb and it was priced accordingly, ?120 sterling. However, when I checked the serial number on the Apple website I found this.

I have a full years Apple warranty. Surely that would indicate that the phone was brand new. It certainly feels and looks brand new.
How much storage does your 5c have? I just can't believe that AT&T still wants $450 for an 8GB 5c outright. It's like they're preying on customer's lack of knowledge (ignorance sounded mean).

Refurbs get a 1 year warranty.

It wasn't bought from Apple though, it came from my carrier.
Could be they obtained the refurb from Apple themselves.
