iPhone 5s & 5c review: 'The best smartphones Apple, or anyone, has made'
Every year since 2007, Apple has released a new iPhone. This year, however, there are two, both available from Friday – a recognition that Apple needed to win back customers from Samsung and other rivals.
With the new models Apple seeks to appeal to two groups: the high-end smartphone buyer, formerly iPhone-loyal, as well as the customer who wants something funkier, brighter and cheaper.
Only a bit cheaper, mind. The iPhone 5c is a middle-range priced phone, but looks glamorous and classy. No corners have been cut – this is a more powerful phone than last year’s iPhone 5, with a longer-lasting battery and improved front-facing camera.
The plastic case is smooth, astonishingly shiny and warm to the touch – the smooth edges and exceptional build quality make it one of the most appealingly comfy-in-the-hand phones.
It comes in five colours – all of them dazzling. They match the new, radically overhauled operating system.
Incidentally, for a cheaper iPhone, you’re looking at the iPhone 4s which stays on sale at a lower price. Even this feels fresh thanks to the new software. Some owners will feel the free software upgrade – available to download today for all handsets from the iPhone 4 onwards – offers enough innovation to make buying a new phone a low priority. Innovations like FaceTime audio which routes phone calls through the data network: these sound crisp and sharp, often better than traditional voice calls, in my experience.
