Question

iPhone 5s or iPhone 5C

by Mar 25, 2014 1:04PM PDT

I am torn between getting the iPhone 5s or the iPhone 5c. I have T-Mobile as my carrier and so I do not have upgrades. I have to buy the phone unlocked for full price. The price difference is only $100. The 5c being $549 and the 5s being $649. Is the 5s worth the extra $100 since I am paying full price anyway or is the 5c just as good as the 5s? What I am looking for most is something that will last me a few years since phones are not cheap. I know the 5s will be future proof. But will the 5c be just as future proof?

Why is the 5S necessarily future proof(?)

Enlighten us Wink

Truth be told, it's a relative and/or subjective statement. Same might be said for the 5C given someone's particular set of needs/wants.

The price difference for one person also might be the deal breaker for another. Totally subjective.
