Iphone 5c resembels to some extent other iphone handsets, though it may not have sold very well but still its no different in terms of hardware n ios software!
one thing which may a apple fan may dislike is its outer polycarbonate coloured shell, which apple has introduced for the first time.
the outer panels feels okay though not that premium which I think might not be of that concern to newcomers for iphone, its definately good package for them! it was earlier available with 16gb, that storage was later discontinued n was replaced with 8gb to lower the overall price.
I personally have been using iphone 5c for almost 2yrs now, but never I had any kind of major complain!
yes, there has been time when my phone got hanged a occasionally, but that to after downloading 2 major ios updates n while doing heavy multi tasking, otherwise this phone works smoothely.
