iPhone 5C review
Apple gave the entire tech-watching world something of a body swerve recently when it announced a new iPhone 5c with just 8GB of storage. The unexpected move does bring down the price of a new iPhone to £429, but with just 8GB and no expandable storage it makes the iPhone 5c look pretty limited. And when you factor in hardware that was new in the iPhone 5 in 2012 the iPhone 5c has something of a challenge to stake its place in the market. Here we'll compare the iPhone 5c with the best two budget phones on the market - the Lumia 520 Windows Phone, and Motorola's Moto G: an Android. We'll also reference the Nexus 5 - currently the best value smartphone on the market in the UK.
My contention is simple: the iPhone has always been a premium brand for which people were prepared to pay a premium. But the iPhone 5c drags iPhone pricing into the middle ground for smartphones. And in doing so it's just possible that Apple has hobbled its cheaper iPhone to the point that it isn't a good deal. Here's our iPhone 5C 8GB vs Moto G, Lumia 520 and Nexus 5 comparison review.
