Last Friday iPhone 5S si iPhone 5C were officially launched in Romania one month away from the launch that took place in 10 countries around the world. Being curious about the new terminal with the plastic case, hated by so many people, I decided to test it with the help of the Orange Romania. From the first seconds I was pleasantly impressed by what he managed to do Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), with this device and I put aside my preconceptions about it, even if I didn't consider it to be that important. In what follows, I will briefly discuss the Apple product, because it is, by and large, one iPhone 5 with a colored plastic casing and a slightly larger capacity battery.
As I said above, the first impression was extremely pleasant, especially since I always looked for blue accessories for my terminals. The color of the case is vivid, pleasant, suitable for what it has Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), need and fits perfectly with the wallpaper designed by the company for him. The plastic case is slippery, but to the touch it doesn't give you the impression that you're holding a cheap terminal, even if even the buttons are made of the same blue plastic.
To be honest, using iPhone 5C I instantly remembered the time when I used the iPhone 3G/3GS, the case seemed to be made of the same material, the difference being that inside there is a metal structure, which has the role of making the entire plastic assembly much more rigid, being in at the same time also used as an antenna. In practice, the iPhone 5C does not give you the impression that it is a cheap phone and that made me love it extremely much, something that I noticed in many people who were in a store and touched the device, probably after - they made a wrong opinion based only on the images on the Internet and the words written by others.
Yes, the iPhone 5C doesn't have the looks iPhone 5, it doesn't have that glass on the case, it doesn't have the metal part and the shiny edges, but that doesn't matter, because in its own way, it's just as attractive. Maybe it's about the fact that I needed a change, maybe I simply like the plastic of the iPhone 5C more than the metal structure of iPhone 5, regardless of the motivation, I am seriously thinking of replacing the old iPhone 5 with an iPhone 5C, regardless of what the world will think.
Well, leaving aside the appearance, let's move on to the hardware. In the iPhone 5C you will find the same A6 chip as in the iPhone 5, the same processor, the same RAM, the same graphics processor, the same baseband chip, the battery being different. The difference between the batteries of the two terminals is 67 mAh, and this translates into an increase of 10/20 minutes of daily usage. iOS 7.0.3 it is by far the best version of iOS in terms of battery autonomy, and with normal use (browsing the Internet via 3G/WiFi, photos, using social media applications, a few games, etc.) you can get about 6 hours - 6 hours and 30 minutes of usage.

Well, from autonomy we move on to connectivity, and here you won't find any difference between the two terminals, they are still able to use the 3G+ networks up to 43.2 Mbps and the 4G networks up to 100 Mbps. You will not notice any difference in terms of the Retina Display, speakers, headsets, or the performance of the terminals, the only two aspects that differentiate them are the exterior design and battery autonomy, the design having the greatest impact. If you think that you will find something new with the main camera, well I tell you to expect nothing but the same beautiful pictures recorded with the iPhone 5, but in the case of the front camera we have a minor improvement, Apple implementing an image sensor better in this device.
I know that many of you will still think that the iPhone 5C is an overpriced plastic smartphone, but I recommend that you go to any store to play with it a little and you might change your mind. This terminal is not made for everyone, some will undoubtedly prefer an iPhone 5 which is definitely more elegant, but others will prefer an iPhone 5C, which was thought of as a clothing accessory, as a gadget to attract the eyes, as a fashionable smartphone.
iPhone 5C is available in Orange Romania stores from all over the country, and here you can discover the offer for him. Having said that, I thank Orange Romania for the opportunity to test the iPhone 5C and I intend to buy one soon.
