For the first time in years, Apple has announced two design variants of the iPhone — the colorful iPhone 5C and the aluminum-clad iPhone 5S. We’ll break them down to you so you’d easily spot the difference.
In this table, we compare the iPhone 5 vs. the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S.
If you will notice, the iPhone 5C is basically the same as the iPhone 5 but with a colored polycarbonate body, heavier weight and thicker dimensions (8.97mm vs. 7.6mm). The iPhone 5S has the same body construction but different color and slightly better hardware as indicated in the table above. There’s also the inclusion of Touch ID which we discussed here.
You can read up on the detailed features of the iPhone 5S here and the iPhone 5C here.
We’re also including the expected retail price based on the HK Apple Online Store. Take note we included iOS7 to the iPhone 5 since the update will be out this September.

apple falls after launching 2 new iphones
is this the beginning of the end?

Phillip says:
wow, the plastic one is even heavier
Jojo says:
Nothing impressive.
Shares of apple falls at the stock exchange after launching …
kaye says:
sir, may mali po sa table.
Mike says:
Iphone 5C – Pricing fail.
So what’s the point of choosing iphone 5c over the iphone 5?
bern says:
almost the same, 5C’s A6 is powerful enough to run most ios application.
Seem not advisable to take steeper price of 5S just for its build quality and biometric security.
anokamo says:
Bibilhin pa rin ito ng mga uto-uto para magmukhang sosyal. Alam naman natin maraming tanga sa Pilipinas kaya wala tayong asenso.
icohgnito says:
iPhone 5C must not be viewed as a new phone. It’s just the way Apple now demotes an older model phone. They are discontinuing production of iPhone 5 and introduces the iPhone 5C… basically an iPhone 5 with plastic body.
This is just like how they lower the price point of current model iPhones when new ones are released.
abuzalzal says:
Pricing FAIL
plus this is the end of the iPod touch I believe
Dongski says:
5c is not as tough as the 5 and 5s in terms
Of material. Thats it
RAM says:
abe sure ka na na 1gb din ram ng 5S?
Lynne-Enroute.com says:
Not even quad core? I dunno man… It is quite underwhelming.
Justin says:
The iPhone is clearly having an identity crisis.
jayofarty says:
Nothing against about this post. But Sir Abe didn’t mention the new features of the 5s, Fingerprint recognition, 2.2 camera aperture and so. It’s basically the same with the 5 with the table you provided. That’s why it has the same price as the 5 when it came out.
And for the 5c price, it’s a $99 2-year plan at ATT vs the $199 5 at the moment. So it is cheaper, technically.
Right! We’re not in the US. But that’s not a reason to bash.
jan says:
sayang. akala ko makakabili na ako ng iPhone. hehehe
goodha says:
Hintayin ko na lang yung iphone 6c para hindi lang ako sosyal, kundi ang 6c 6c ko.
Wait and see when it becomes available worldwide by december this year. As usual, our telcos would dispose of old stocks of iphone 4, 4s and eventually 5.

Kung sakaling hindi natuloy ang iPhone 5c at continue pa rin ang pagbebenta ng iPhone 5,diba bababa lang naman din sa mga 30k ang presyo ng iPhone 5?WTF Apple bad move. Same Price but less premium image eh un na nga ung isa samga dahilan kung bakit pa kayu bumebemta aside from the OS. TANGAAMPUTA
wew says:
kahit discontinued na ang iPhone 5,im sure may mga kaunting stocks pa rin jan kung ako sa inyu ung mga may balak bumili ng iPhone 5c mag Iphone 5 nas lng kayu,almost same price and more premium feel.
www.kusina101.com says:
5c is epic fail. i hope ipad mini 2 will not follow the same path.
isklamowsyon says:
akala ko ba mura? 26k for 16gb.plastic iphone? jurassic era pa ang specs. RIP apple…
Frvgrgrgrgrf says:
Hahaha ang daming squatters dito na can’t afford ang nagrereklamo sa presyo ng iPhone! This is not meant for you, cheap bastards! You can hate all you want but the fact is you can’t afford this luxury phone.
Techjunkeez says:
Basically C (plastic) and S (no change) stands for Cheap and Same respectively.
droid says:
did not include 5s’ other features. may pagka bias ang article na to

ska di namn paper specs lang ang usapan. user experience din. naka quadcore namn puro hang naman.
saka aanhin mo ang quadcore kung ang mga nadedevelop na apps mostly pang single and dual cores naman ( for compatibility)
simultaneous says:
I don’t hate apple because of its specs or os.. I hate apple because of their over priced products.. hahahaha! f*ck apple!! that’s why their logo have bite on it.. because it was BEATEN by android.. hahaha
Jaime says:
Why does the 5C weigh more than than 5 and 5S? plastic > metal?
NakikiusoLang says:
Sa mga taong kaya bilhin ang latest Android phone, di na din sila tumitingin sa price. We can buy an Android phone kahit mas mahal pa sa ip5 (kung meron man). People choose Android dahil nalang din yun sa preferred nilang mag android.. And the fact that your seeing things this way is, it seems like your just buying apple’s latest iphone para mag pasikat, out of preferrence.. hehehehe
silentwarrior says:
The best phone is the one on your hand. That is my opinion, bakit ba langing nagsasabong ang pro-Apple at pro-Android? Parang religious war ang nangyayari, nakakahiya.
Be happy sa devices na hawak natin, ganun na lang. I myself is still satisfied with my Galaxy S2, which I rooted.
iFreak says:
I still don’t like their new releases. Take my comment as it is. It doesn’t need any of your opinion, fanboys!

churva says:
is iphone 5c worth it to buy?
Kami says:
Sir arci(not sure) of technoodling wrote a very interesting view on the 64bit capacity of the 5s. Something i guess is worth noting. I hope someone can give some further explanation on that para mas maliwanagan tayo at hindi puro sh!t ang nababasa natin dito.
I do agree though na epic fail ang pricing ng iphone5c. Dapat between, 18-22k lang yun. Well lets hope na subsidized or something ang gawin ng apple for that.
Funny thing is, nagmukhang obsolete ang iphone5 ko at part of history nalang dahil discontinued ang production. I was expecting na the 5c would be something lower than it.
Mas appropriate ata yung 5c sa mga youngsters na rich and nasa mid-income. Yun ata yung target market nun.
Someone mentioned about lags on iphone5 on the previous comments, tlga? I havent experienced it since i got my unit. Baka isolated case. And if ever man may lag hindi kasing evident sa android. (I have a S3 and xperia Z).
Again, iphone 5s is for those who can afford.
Naraise na naman yung issue ng quadcore na processor. Eh sana hindi kailangan ng ios sa ngayon yung ganun eh. PRang windows at blackberry.
Lets see nalang muna ang mga reviews na lalabas when it comes to actual performance. Now kung subpar. E di subpar. Epic fail dim!
Eghiem Callasan says:
Even if I can afford to buy iphone 5s and 5c the price is too high for small improvement. What exactly people are paying for when there not much of innovation?
tinay says:
apple is apple its just like a starbucks coffee
ouroborous says:
I find Apple’s definition of “cheap” medyo out-of-touch.
cybrmyx says:
That’s just people being cynical…wait for the selling day…i’m sure people will still queue!
uLOL says:
that’s what you call innovation LOL
airdroid says:
ang dami ditong bangit nang bangit sa specs wala namng alam sa totoong specs nang iphone. ipagkumapara ba namn ang A7 na 64 bit sa processor na 32 bit. kung ala kayo alam sa “totoong” specs manahimik kayo ang gagaling ng mga tao dito dami alams sa specs..
saka kala nyo ba proket octa core di na maghahang?
saka yung article bias masyado. gusto lang ipamukha na walang bago sa iphone 5s..
wew says:
@simultaneous bobo lang?maraming bumibili ng “luxury items” tulad ng iPhone,Rolex watch,etc. hindi sa dahil kailangan nila ito…kundi dahil gusto lang nila.masyado ka lang bitter(android user here)
ako says:
I am an Android user. Please don’t get me wrong. I love my device. Really I do. If only i could find a way to connect my device to a projector, life would be much easier. The fact that you can connect an iPhone to a projector is nice.
malamang sasabihin nyo may laptop naman. pero mabigat na ang projector, mabigat pa din ang laptop.
So ang tanong ko lang if I am an Android user at gusto ko mag-upgrade ng phone at ang trabaho ko nagrerequire ng mga powerpoint presentation at projector, okay ba na iPhone 5s ang piliin ko?
