The most obvious thing that sets the 5C apart from the 5 (or from the iPhone 5S, which was introduced at the same time as the 5C) is its back. Unlike any previous model of iPhone, the 5C comes in multiple colors: white, pink, yellow, blue, and green. Thes...

Last year's iPhone 5 was a very good phone. The 5C, being only slightly different, is also a very good phone. The camera is a huge difference, and the fact that the 5C tops out at 32GB while the 5S goes to 64GB will matter to many users. But if you're loo...
