    The iPhone 5C was fine. Lot's of my friends and family had it as their first iPhone. They're still using iPhones so I do not think it is a failed product. It was a "cheaper" way to get familiarised with iPhones and it worked.
  • @B_COOPER
    I miss the days when $199 was not cheap for a phone…
  • I owned a 5C and I very liked it. It was the only iPhone which didn’t needed a case…
  • @Gold.Circle.
    Everyone complains that iphone is too expensive then they make a budget phone and you all criticise them for it being poor quality. You can’t have it both ways
  • @gwigiefqefjugb
    The 5C was aboslutely not a failure. It allowed so many to expand into Apple's ecosystem, the colors were awesome, and it was very durable.
  • The 5c was THE phone to have in high school when it first came out. I always thought it was generally assumed to be a starter phones for kids.
  • @wolfblade6569
    5c looks so nice especially when putting a transparent case to show off the color of the phone.
  • @pad9x
    that 5C material should have been used on the Vision Pro to save on weight
  • @xshadowspy
    The iPhone 5c was pretty popular in high school when I got it lots of teenagers at the time loved the colors and would always compare what color each person went with.
  • @tikycz8261
    I remember my first iPhone 5c. 16gb. I was soo exited. But yes i agree iphone 10r is iPhone 5c dine the correct way.
  • @itstehgamer
    This channel is way too underrated, i watched this thinking you had like 200k subs but then i looked down to 2K SUBS????
  • @BluJFPV
    I had the 5c and absolutely loved it. One side effect of the plastic shell is that it survived side impacts better and was easier to replace the screen. On metal iPhones you commonly had to reshape the sides when replacing a display, the 5C pretty much kept its shape but squished. Much easier to get a replacement display to fit correctly.
  • I worked the Apple Store at that time. They sold plenty of 5Cs to kids and grandparents. It just was under-shadowed by the S.

    I owned a green 5c. I loved the color and the design. Even though it was made of plastic it had a good quality. I never felt like having a cheap product. The only problem was the battery constantly overheating and very short lasting.
  • @HidrogenoyMau
    The iPhone 6 was the worst iPhone ever and the 5C was good enough, specially for low end markets. This is a hill I'm willing to die on.
  • @Deetroiter
    Apple is what doomed the 5c. Still one of my favorite phones ever. Apple completely gimped it by refusing to give it quality specs. I still have my green 5c laying around somewhere
  • @mauroveliz23
    This strategy is the same one that Google is using with the A series. The iPhone 5C is the iPhone that everyone wanted, a cheap iPhone. But they complained so much that Apple decided to make its phones more premium in build following the X.
