Considering that Apple really wanted to distinguish the 5c by its plastic shell and different colors, I really think there should be a new main photo that shows this. The current looks just like all the other previous monochrome iPhones. Richiekim ( talk) 12:17, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
I changed the color of the main image to use the blue shell on Commons ( commons:File:IPhone_5C.png), but someone reverted my change, so my change may not stick. I've opened a discussion over there on Commons if you think the main image should either depict an iPhone 5c with white shell or one of the colored shells. — RP88 ( talk) 08:33, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Unlike the 5s, the 5c appears to be just a minor variation of the iPhone 5. With that in mind, I am going to merge this into the iPhone 5 article, per the precedent of the Nintendo 3DS XL not getting its own article. ViperSnake151 Talk 15:38, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move, especially in line with the even stronger consensus at Talk:iPhone 5S. -- tariqabjotu 03:30, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
There is clear evidence in the article history of edit warring and this needs to cease immediately. Given its all about the title and wording of the name in article and an RM is in place please cease this immediately until the consensus emerges. Rather than pining on one or two editors i am adding the warning tag here.
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Blethering Scot 22:07, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
So far I've been dealing with TONS of changes to the article (most bad) mostly people changing the name. Should we? we could just say "stylized iPhone 5c" and then I don't need to deal with so many changes Justinhu12 ( talk) 10:35, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm struggling to get the source to work in Product Placement section. Below is the source anybody else able to do this?

Why is iPhone 5c redirected to iPhone 5C? Should really be the other way round... could we vote on it? mintchocicecream ( talk) 00:23, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Salutations. Some maintenance tags were recently added to this page by User:Zach Vega and then removed. I thought it might be appropriate to open a discussion here. I don't know very much about the iPhone 5C, but at this point the only issue(s) I could make a case for would be that that article could use a few more citations to denounce the possibility of original research. This seems especially evident in the Product Positioning section and those following it. The Software section, in my opinion, also reads a bit like an advertisement, though I'm not sure if that's repairable (or if it's just my personal perception). Anyway, that's my two cents. Perhaps if the original tagger could also clarify their intentions a more useful discussion could be generated. ~ Boomur [ ☎] 00:58, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
This device was released during the 7th iPhone cycle and should be referred to as a 7th generation device and not a 6th. Calling it a 6th generation device is WP:OR. JOJ Hutton 21:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
I had assessed this as B-class, but I am knocking it down to C-class as I realize this article is missing a section detailing its critical/consumer response. The rest of the article seems reasonably well-written. A few sentences were removed in the "Product positioning" section as being unsourced. Feel free to re-add them if you find a reliable source that verifies the information. Michaelzeng7 ( talk) 22:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
According to Apple, “Color is more than just a hue. It expresses a feeling. Makes a statement. Declares an allegiance. Color reveals your personality. iPhone 5c, in five anything-but-shy colors, does just that. It’s not just for lovers of color. It’s for the colorful.” (no emphasis in original) Cup o’ Java ( talk • edits) 03:56, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Typical Wikipedia stupidity. The phone's name is 5c, no matter what you insist it be called. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.233.82.134 ( talk) 01:49, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Redundancy in History and Positioning
"The 16 & 32 GB versions of the iPhone 5C were also discontinued globally, replaced by the 8 GB model. However, some carriers in the US like AT&T kept the 16 GB and 32 GB models instead of having the 8 GB model, thus the 16 GB model was $0 (on-contract) and the 32 GB was priced between $50–$100 (on-contract).[12]
On September 9, 2014, with the announcement of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the 16 and 32 GB iPhone 5C models were discontinued and replaced by the 8 GB model. The 8 GB iPhone 5C succeeded the discontinued iPhone 4S as Apple's entry-level smartphone." 205.149.152.13 ( talk) 02:57, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

The Iphone 5c is a smartphone device desinged by apple. To some kids this might be the best phone ever just because this is one of the Iphones that you can get with different colors. And you can any color you choose, you can also get you fav.color too.

I wondered how old i was in 2013 because that would have been really weird — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:5C1:5E80:C9BB:83F1:93C4:AE9A ( talk) 05:11, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
The iPhone 5C was released alongside the iPhone 5S is an experimental phone. The main phone as the 5S, while the 5C came in various different products. If the other iPhones share the same page with their Plus/Max counterparts, I see no reason not merge these to into one page as well. The 5C wasn't a main iPhone, rather an experimental one, so it doesn't deserve it's own page prior to the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max.
It's been 10 years since the phone has been called the 5c. Most sources properly refer to it as the 5c. Wikipedia policy is to respect casing in names. I wrote more about this on the page for the iPhone 6s that I won't repeat here. See also: Apple's list of iPhone models.
There are plenty of arguments that this is a bad name, but they are irrelevant. The name of the phone is clear and Wikipedia should respect it.
Therefore, I am being BOLD and changing the page and requesting a move.
