This is old hardware by today's standard, and that's the point if you're after a cheap, simple iPhone. The Apple A6 chipset and 1GB RAM handle iOS 7 (upgradable to iOS 8.1.2) fine, but you won't be running modern apps smoothly on this. The 4.0-inch IPS LCD screen is compact, small enough to run one-handed, and the whole phone weighs just 132g.

The 8MP rear camera does autofocus, LED flash, and 1080p video, decent enough for casual shots but nothing close to current flagship cameras. Battery is a modest 1510 mAh, non-removable, so daily charging is a given. Apple iPhone 5C (32GB) price in Malaysia starts from RM895, which puts it firmly in budget or collector territory rather than as a primary daily driver phone.

Storage on this variant is 32GB with no expansion slot, so what you buy is what you get. It supports Nano-SIM, has a 3.5mm headphone jack, and comes in five colours if that's a factor for you.
