Apple® AAPL today introduced iPhone® 5c, featuring an all-new design, packed with
incredible features in five gorgeous colors—blue, green, pink, yellow and
white. iPhone 5c is built on a foundation of features people know and love
like the beautiful 4-inch Retina® display, blazing fast performance of the A6
chip, and the 8 megapixel iSight® camera—all while delivering great battery
life. iPhone 5c comes with more LTE bands than any other smartphone in the
world, a new FaceTime® HD camera, and iOS 7, the most significant iOS update
since the original iPhone.
“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.”
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
multiband 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,
microfiber-lined cases in a very intentional contrast to the glossy, hard coat
finish. These sleek silicone cases with unique circular patterns let splashes
of color show through, and with five iPhone 5c colors and six cases to choose
from, you can mix and match for dozens of fun combinations.
iPhone 5c comes with all the features customers love in iPhone 5, and more.
The Apple-designed A6 chip provides incredible performance and power
efficiency, all while delivering great battery life, so almost everything you
do on iPhone 5c is blazing fast, from launching apps and loading web pages to
downloading email attachments. iPhone 5c features a stunning 4-inch Retina
display and an 8 megapixel iSight camera, the most popular camera in the
world. iPhone 5c also includes a new FaceTime HD camera for even better
FaceTime calls and self-portraits, and with iOS 7, you can make audio-only
FaceTime calls for the first time.
iPhone 5c makes it even easier to connect to high-speed networks with support
for up to 13 LTE^¹ wireless bands, more than any other smartphone in the
world. With download speeds up to 100 Mbps^², you can browse, download and
stream content even faster. iPhone 5c includes dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
support for up to 150 Mbps^² and Bluetooth 4.0. iPhone 5c delivers an amazing
10 hours of talk time on 3G networks, up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi
and LTE networks and up to 8 hours on 3G networks, and up to 10 hours of video
playback and up to 40 hours of audio playback.^³
iPhone 5c comes with iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since the original
iPhone, featuring a stunning new user interface, completely redesigned with an
elegant color palette, distinct, functional layers and subtle motion that make
it feel more alive. iOS 7 is designed to complement the gorgeous exteriors of
iPhone 5c, with matching wallpapers and translucency that carry the color
through the entire experience. iOS 7 has hundreds of great new features,
including Control Center, Notification Center, improved Multitasking,
AirDrop®, enhanced Photos, Safari®, Siri® and introduces iTunes Radio℠, a free
Internet radio service based on the music you listen to on iTunes®.^⁴
iPhone 5c customers have access to the revolutionary App Store℠, which offers
more than 900,000 apps to iPhone, iPad® and iPod touch® users in 155 countries
around the world. More than 50 billion apps have been downloaded from the App
