Apple iPhone 5S & iPhone 5C

Apple unveiled two new iPhones last night for the first time, including the flagship iPhone 5S and a colourful model iPhone 5C that is made of plastic. Both models will feature the new operating system, iOS7.



The cheaper iPhone 5C comes with candy colour of blue, green, red, yellow and white while there is a gold iPhone 5S in addition to the silver and space grey versions. The Home button of iPhone 5S is now made of sapphire crystal instead of just glass and equipped with Touch ID. It features a 500ppi resolution capacitive fingerprint sensor that recognizes an individual’s finger as it touches the Home button to unlock the iPhone.

iPhone 5C, on the other hand, is just an iPhone 5 in plastic. That's why iPhone 5 is retired and only iPhone 4S, iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S are available. iPhone 5C is intended for first-time smartphone buyers and developing countries such as China. However, the problem is that the iPhone 5C is still not so cheap if compared to other smartphones.

Let's take a glance at the spec of iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C:
