Apple Introduces iPhone 5c—The Most Colourful iPhone Yet. All-New Design, Packed with Incredible Features in Five Gorgeous Colours. This article will cover everything you need to know about the Apple iPhone 5C.
“iPhone 5c is everything iPhone 5 was and more, in an all-new design packed with great features,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone 5c is designed with a beautiful polycarbonate enclosure that looks and feels so solid in your hand.”
Apple iPhone 5c Features
- An all-new design crafted from a single, hard-coated polycarbonate body with a steel-reinforced frame for a solid, sturdy feel. The steel frame holds the internal components and also doubles as the iPhone 5c’s multi-band antenna. The enclosure is one continuous and seamless structure that is finished with a hard coat for a durable and incredibly glossy surface.
- To complement the all-new iPhone 5c design, Apple created soft, matte, microfibre-lined cases in very intentional contrast to the glossy, hard coat finish. These sleek silicone cases with unique circular patterns let splashes of colour show through, and with five iPhone 5c colours and six cases to choose from, you can mix and match for dozens of fun combinations.
