I have always been the biggest fan of the iPhone 5 design which is the same design language for the iPhone 5S. However, when I picked up the iPhone 5C, I realised how beautiful it looks - even more so than the 5S/5. I can't even begin to explain it. I held both 5C & 5S side by side and eventually, I decided that I like 5C Blue the best.
There is a certain heft to the 5C that I enjoy. While the 5S is very light, it just feels too lightweight. The built quality of the 5C is phenomenal for a plastic back phone but the colour is very nice. I was quite surprised that for the first time, I prefer the 5C to the 5S.
However, judging from the forum discussions, it looks like there is very little response to the 5C. I'm not sure why that is so.

QUOTE(C63 AMG @ Nov 11 2013, 11:39 AM) The little response is due to the low number in users. I reckon there's only about 5 5C users here including myself. I'm also a 5C user!

One more thing I realised with the iPhone 5C is that because of the plastic body, it doesn't feel as warm/hot compared to the iPhone 5 / 5S. The iPhone 5S can get pretty hot especially when doing intensive stuff. iPhone 5C will also get warm but it's not as bad as the aluminium enclosure.

QUOTE(LeonTan @ Nov 12 2013, 03:07 PM) I'm always thinking to get 5c instead of 5s but I worried about lags. Will ios7 lags in 5c? It's smooth and fluid. You can go and try it for yourself at Machines, Switch, Maxis, Celcom and other outlets with demo units.

QUOTE(C63 AMG @ Nov 13 2013, 05:28 PM) Good thinking. I just upgraded to 32GB 5C as well  16GB seems too small for modern day apps as well as photo/movie taking. All the Apple free apps (iMovie, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, etc) will already consume about 2GB of storage. Even lightweight users will feel slightly constrained on the 16GB model. Best to go 32GB straight.
