The iPhone 5s Review — For much of the iPhone's life Apple has enjoyed a first-mover advantage. At the launch of the first iPhone, Steve Jobs expected the device and OS would give it a multi-year head start over the competition. Indeed that's how the market played out.

The iPhone 5S and 5C — The 5C — Let's consider the new iPhone 5C1 first, because it's easier to understand. — On the inside, it's an iPhone 5, with a few relatively minor upgrades. (To wit: the cellular antenna now supports more LTE bands and faster LTE speeds, and the front-facing FaceTime camera is better.)
| Anand Lal Shimpi / AnandTech: |
The iPhone 5c Review — For years now Apple has followed a rather intelligent waterfall of its products down the pricing stack. With the arrival of every new iPhone, the previous generation gets a $100 discount from its on-contract price, and the generation before that one is offered for free on-contract.
