The iPhone 5C comes with iOS 7 installed, which offers a love it/hate it makeover of Apple's aging mobile software. It's still a fast chip, although its performance has now been surpassed by the A7 processor that features in the iPhone 5S. This consists of a custom-built 1.3GHz dual core ARM processor with an integrated PowerVR SGX 543MP3 GPU. The iPhone 5C doesn't enjoy a speed boost and is based around the same A6 processor that drives the iPhone 5. In terms of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, both handsets come with 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Hardly surprising considering the global roll-out and the 5C's ultimate availability in far East markets such as Japan and China. Apple does point out, however, that the iPhone 5C supports more LTE bands than the iPhone 5. Apple iPhone 5: ConnectivityĪt first glance, the two phones are identical - both support 3G/HSDPA and CDMA2000 networks, as well as 4G/LTE if your chosen carrier supports it. The Megapixels remain the same but there's an improved backside illumination sensor (BIS) for better performance in low lighting conditions. It also improves on the 1.2MP front iSight camera. The iPhone 5C matches the iPhone 5's 1080p video capture capabilities but with added video stabilization. There's a brand new camera app for starters, which lets you shoot square images and features eight live filters so you can mess with your photos as you shoot them. But while it uses the same five-element, 8MP lens (with an f/2.4 aperture) as the older iPhone 5, Apple has thrown in some extra goodies to keep us quiet. If you expected a vast improvement in the iPhone 5C's camera, you'll be disappointed. Expect a screen upgrade when the iPhone 6 comes along next year. It's good, but it's still way behind smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 (440 PPI) and the Sony Xperia Z1 (440 PPI). The panel crams 727,040 pixels onscreen, which works out at 326 pixels per inch. The iPhone 5C uses the same 4-inch (640 x 1136) Retina display as its predecessor. There aren't any improvements to speak of here.
