IPhone 5C

The iPhone 5 C  is an entry-level that was designed and developed by Apple and announced in a special event on September 10, 2013, alongside the higher-end iPhone 5 S. It became available for pre-order on the following September 13th. Both models became available with iOS 7 on September 20, 2013. The external casing of the iPhone 5 C is made of plastic (instead of metal like other iPhone models) to reduce its cost and was available in various colors like the 5th-generation iPod touch. It was discontinued on September 9, 2014 with the introduction of the 1st-generation iPhone SE.

Features
Apple released the budget-priced iPhone 5 C ($99 for 16 GB version with carrier discount) to compete with other lower priced smartphone models. The device features an Apple A6 processor and an 8 megapixel camera. The FaceTime camera received an upgrade to HD quality. Other features include the 4 inch retina display and the Bluetooth 4.0 LE and dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n. The iPhone 5 C is available in green, yellow, blue, white and red colors. Apple also released cases to go along with the 5c made of silicon rubber. The iPhone 5 C was sold in the United States by the big three carriers: AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. In Canada, where the prices and plans are more expensive, they were available from Rogers, Bell, Koodo, Fido and VirginMobile.
