Location: Phoenix | Any thoughts?
My responsible self is saying to go with the cheapest option, the 5C.
My greedy self is saying to get best model on the market with the latest gadgets, the 5S.
How do you guys like yours? |

| I'm still holding onto my 4s .. however, my sister has the 5s and her daughter the 5c. She said the only difference she has noticed is the finger print recognition that doesn't always work …. Their may be more, but that's one big difference. |

Location: In my own world | The 5, all 3 models, are lighter than the 4 models. I'm due for an upgrade in March and want the 5s, I think. I haven't upgraded to the latest software. My brother did and I was playing with his phone and i don't like the ISO 7 |

Location: NW Arkansas | I bought my husband the the 5S for Christmas. I have the iPhone 4 and I downloaded ios 7 on it, too. His phone is waaay cool. Great camera! He had an Android before and he loves the 5S! Get the one with the better operating system-- 5S.

Location: PNW | I like the 5S, I just got it! I didn't like the 5C because it is plastic rather than the glass or whatever the 5S is made of. I got the gold version, extra snazzy.lol |

| I have the regular 5 and I won't be upgrading until it breaks - which given that I was going through 2 or 3 Androids a year before my Iphone and I've had it over a year and a half now (since they came out with the 5) I'm impressed. I'm hard on phones. The Otterbox is my best friend. |

| I think you would be happy with either. We just bought 3 of the 5s for me, my hubby and son for our business but my sister just bought her daughter the 5c and saved $100. |

Location: WV | The 5S is a little faster but I have the 5C and it's just fine for me. I liked that it is plastic. The new software is not bad either, just depends on personal preferences. Also, I don't like to pay a lot for my cell ph. Good luck with your purchase.

Location: Phoenix | I like all the effects of the 5S in regards to the camera/video....that's extra $100 is a little hard to swallow. |

Location: Nebraska | I have a regular 5 and love it. It's way better than my Blackberry was. I had a friend get the new 5S but ended up taking it back because the finger thing wouldn't work all the time and she couldn't get into her phone. Her fingerprints must be hard to read though, because it seems like whenever she gets them done she has to get them redone. She also had a problem with white noise when she was on the phone. I don't know what she ended up switching to but for some reason her number was still saved as an iPhone so nobody with an iPhone could text her for a few days. She had a heck of a time getting it fixed. |

Location: southeast Texas | After having one of the original smart phones, I upgraded to the 5s. Love it. Especially the camera/video. It has the thumbprint or a password to enter. And the text voice LOVE it. It understands my southern accent. !
