Apple iPhone 5c Full Specifications

The Good. The <b>iPhone 5</b> adds everything we wanted in the iPhone 4S: 4G LTE, a longer, larger screen, free turn-by-turn navigation, and a faster A6 processor. Plus, its top-to-bottom redesign is sharp, slim, and feather-light.

The iPhone 5 Is Still Apple's Most Popular Phone And their findings were pretty interesting. Despite the fact most recent Apple phones are the iPhone 5C and 5S, the iPhone 5 is still the most popular phone, with a 27% share of iPhones. The 5S is only behind by a 2% margin.

If you want better battery life, go with a Droid Razr Maxx. But, if you want a great, all-around, beautifully engineered smartphone that covers all bases, here it is. Just like the MacBook is to the world of laptops, the new iPhone is one of the top three, if not the best-designed, smartphone around.

Despite the fact most recent Apple phones are the iPhone 5C and 5S, the iPhone 5 is still the most popular phone, with a 27% share of iPhones.

The SoC comprises a 1.3 GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and a tri-core PowerVR SGX543MP3 running at 266 MHz. The iPhone 5c has new LTE antennas that now cover more LTE bands than any other smartphone according to Apple. The 5c features a 4-inch Retina, multi-touch display, which has a 640×1136 pixel resolution.

iPhone is a line of smartphones produced by Apple Inc. that use Apple's own iOS mobile operating system. The first-generation iPhone was announced by then-Apple CEO Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007.

It also comes as separate data from analytics company Mixpanel suggests that the 5S now makes up 10% of all iPhones in use, and that the radically redesigned iOS 7 operating system has achieved a faster takeup than last year's release of iOS 6.

The heart of the iPhone 5 is the new A6 processor, a chip that Apple wasn't too keen to describe other than it being "twice as fast" as the last-gen A5 and "22 percent smaller." Thankfully, we have ways -- namely, Geekbench, which identifies this as a dual-core 1.05GHz processor paired with 1GB of RAM.
