Iphone comparison

5s vs 5c

If you're shopping for a new iPhone this holiday season, Apple has two new handsets to 

choose from. The iPhone 5s is the higher-end model, but are its upgrades worth the extra 

US$100? Or do you thumb your nose at its "forward-thinking" features and go with some fun 

new colors instead? Let Gizmag try to help, as we go hands-on to help you decide whether 

you're better off with the iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c.

When we took a closer look at the iPad Air and Retina iPad mini, we were basically dealing 

with the same tablet in two different sizes. That isn't the case with the iPhone 5s and 5c. 

• The 5s has a faster processor, an extra motion-tracking processor, a better camera with some new features, and a fingerprint sensor. It's the more advanced iPhone

• The iPhone 5c, meanwhile, is basically an iPhone 5 (Apple's 2012 flagship) in a colorful plastic shell. In fact, the 5c replaced the iPhone 5 in Apple's lineup, sending it to an early grave after just one year. So if you take appearances out of the equation, we're pretty much comparing "this year's iPhone"  to "last year's iPhone."
