What's The Difference Between An Iphone 5 S And An Iphone 5 C?

The differences are slight but here they are. Appearance wise the 5c is sporting a polycarbonate (fancy word for hard plastic) shell, while the 5s has an almost all aluminum back with some glass near the top and bottom. Under the hood the 5c is coming out with the A6 processing chip (clocked in at 1.3 GHz) while the 5s has the new A7 chip (1.4GHz), both still deliver fast responses but having the 5s slightly faster. Moving on to specs, on the 5s we have a new home button which doubles as a fingerprint scanner which you can use to unlock your phone and confirm purchases on itunes and the app store. We're also seeing a new mode in the camera called slow motion, in which you can edit various parts of normal video and play them back in slo-mo, or even recored a new video in slo-mo. On the 5c we really don't have any of that, just fancy colorful plastic choices. If it were me I'd choose the 5s in a heartbeat.
