The iPhone 5C (sold with a lowercase 'c' as iPhone 5c) is a touchscreen-based smartphone that is made by Apple Inc. It comes after the iPhone 5, and was released along with the iPhone 5S. Apple introduced the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S at an event on September 10, 2013. They were both released on September 20, 2013. After the announcement of the iPhone 5C and 5S, the iPhone 5 was discontinued.

The iPhone 5C first came with iOS 7, the latest version of Apple's iOS mobile operating system at the time. iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014.

The iPhone 5C has almost the same hardware as the iPhone 5. A few differences are that it has a slightly bigger battery and it also comes in five different colors (blue, green, pink, yellow, and white). It also uses a plastic shell on the outside instead of thr metal casing that is used on the iPhone 5 and 5S.

History

Apple announced the iPhone 5C, along with the iPhone 5S, at an event at its headquarters on September 10, 2013.

The iPhone 5C is sold at a lower price than the iPhone 5S. The iPhone 4S was still being sold, but has been changed so that it costs less than the 5C. The iPhone 5S sold for $199 for the 16 GB model with a two-year contract in the United States and for $649 without a contract. The 5C sold for $99 for the 16 GB model on a contract and for $549 without a contract.

An 8 GB version of the iPhone 5C was released on March 18, 2014, but was only sold in six countries: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, and China.
