What do you think about the Apple iPhone 5c?
I think the iPhone 5C was a bad move on Apple's part. Everyone expected it to be low-cost because Apple is doing very poorly in developing countries. Android and even Windows Phone are doing far better in some places. As Apple's market share dwindles, they can't afford to continue to ignore huge and growing markets like China, India, and other such places. Unfortunately, the iPhone 5C is still priced too high to be popular in those areas. It's also too pricey to find it's way to pre-paid or no-contract carriers. So if the iPhone 5C is not going to get the iPhone into new markets, as everyone had expected, then all it's going to accomplish is to cannibalize other iPhone sales. One of the biggest complaints about Apple is the high price of their products. People like the Apple ecosystem, but as we saw with the iPad Mini, if you give people a cheaper way into that ecosystem, they'll take it over the more expensive one. I predict the same thing will happen with the iPhone 5C. Some people who may have otherwise bought the 5S will opt for it. The difference between them is not huge after all. I don't think many people would miss the fingerprint sensor gimmick, nor do I think a faster chip really holds that much appeal to iPhone users. Sure, faster is better, but anyone who really wants high end specs will probably be looking at high end Android phones instead of the iPhone. So you'll see a lot of people going for that cheaper option just to save some money. Rather than having a high-end and a low-end option, Apple is basically offering an expensive option and a more expensive option. Both devices seem aimed at the same market. Yeah, Apple will still make money. It's not hard when you overprice everything you sell. But if you look at the big picture, they gain nothing. They don't bring in a lot of new customers, they don't stop their market share slippage, they don't make inroads in developing countries. I can't imagine having a bunch of cheap-looking pastel plastic phones emblazoned with the Apple logo will help them maintain that image as a premium brand, which is starting to slip away from them.
How does the iPod Touch 5th generation and the iPhone 5c differ?
I just so happen to have these exact two devices! My little babies I love.To shorten the answer, iPhone 5C will be only “5C” and the iPod Touch 5th will be only “5th”.Aside from the obvious differences from the 5C being a phone and the 5th being considered a “mini tablet”, there are some differences you might not notice.If you're planning on buying one of them, I'd recommend the 5C. If you're like me (already have both), and just want to know the differences, let's see.5C goes with bold, and the 5th goes with italic.Supported iOS: 7.x - 10.x / 6.x - 9.xThe 5C likely won't support iOS 11 when (if?) it comes out. So if that's a big thing for you, go for the iPhone 6.Weight: 132 g / 88 gIf you're looking for a device that's just easy to handle, take the 5th. (This info I got from the internet, so it is probably an approximation)Colors: Yellow, Green, Blue, White, Pink / Grey, Blue, Gold, Silver, Black, Red** The (PRODUCT)RED is kind of a limited edition thing. If you buy a RED iPod at an Apple Store, the money goes to helping fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. This is the one I have!Display: SameCamera: 8 Megapixels / 5 MegapixelsThe 5C camera also has some interesting things: it can Time Lapse (speed up a video you record) and take pictures while you record videos (a second button on the bottom left corner).System chip: Apple A6 / Apple A5This is kind of how fast it will run…? I think it is. Ironically, my iPod is slower (because of a much longer use).Battery: 1507 mAh / 1030 mAhIt's an almost 50% improve. Again, ironically my iPhone has a lower battery (previous owner misusing it).Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Compass / Accelerometer, GyroscopeThe Compass in the 5C comes as an app:So, that's what I could think of. Hope this helped you!
Why don't they have a touch ID on an iPhone 5C?
Because the iPhone 5c was primarily designed to be a cheap version of the previous iPhone 5 model, and Touch ID would be too costly for the target price point. Anyone who wanted Touch ID and other advanced hardware at the time could purchase the more expensive iPhone 5S instead.But who cares? The iPhone 5c is an ancient device by today’s standards. You can get a iPhone SE (with Touch ID) for only $159 from Walmart. The iPhone 5c is old news. Time to move on!

Is the iPhone 5S worth buying in 2018?
iPhone 5S was launched in September 2013. So basically it is 4 years older by now. I am using one myself. My iPhone 5S is running on iOS 10.3.3 and I am not going to update my OS to iOS 11. Here are some points I would like to mention.The Fingerprint (Touch ID) detection and response has become quite slow. It usually takes 2 seconds to detect my fingerprint and unlock the phone. It is not blazing fast.I have observed significant lag in launching applications like Chrome, GoIbibo, Uber in recent times.I am constantly using my phone over 4G network for internet browsing. Believe me, I have to charge my phone thrice a day. Battery drains out pretty quickly over 4G network.(Note: my iPhone battery capacity has reduced to 1450mAh.)Playing heavy duty game is nearly not feasible incase of iPhone 5S because it heats off the back of phone and also drains the battery.Also now I am feeling like the display is pretty small while compared to other phones. It feels very tiny in hand. Also watching videos in such a small screen will not provide you much satisfaction.I recommend you not to but iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 at this point of time. If you want to use iOS atleast go for iPhone SE or iPhone 6S.It would be far better if you choose to buy iPhone 7 or above. It will be future proof for atleast next 2 years.Happy Reading…!!!
Is there any difference between sound quality in fake iPhone earbuds and real one? If there is can I know how much?
There will be a difference in build quality. The original will always be better made and will last longer. The fake ones will come apart in a short while. If there is no difference in build quality, then everyone might as well buy the fake ones.2) There will be a difference in sound quality. Fakes ones are always cheaper than the real deal. You always get what you pay for. The real ones will be made to certain specs and tolerances and will undergo some form of quality control. Bad-sounding earbuds which are original will impact the reputation of the brand.
