The iPhone 5C and iPhone SE are both smaller, lower-cost iPhone models built for users who don't need a phablet, and can do without some of the latest and greatest functionality offered in the flagship models. However, there are some major differences between the two devices that, depending on how you plan to use smartphone you end of getting, may impact which device you get.
The following article walks you through all of those differences so you can make the best decision for you. The iPhone 5C features a plastic body that doesn't hold a candle to the sturdiness of the iPhone SE's aluminum frame. If you're hard on phones and have a tendency to drop them, the tougher frame offered by the iPhone SE will be more forgiving.
Regarding color options, the iPhone 5C offers a spirited color palette consisting of white, pink, yellow, blue, and green. Alternatively, the iPhone SE offers the more muted tones of silver, gold, space gray, and rose gold. Both the iPhone 5C and the iPhone SE are available with only two storage options, compared with the three storage capacity options you get with the flagship Apple iPhones.
Are you switching to iPhone from Android, This area is where the biggest difference between the two iPhone models exists: the camera. The iPhone 5C features an 8-megapixel camera while the iPhone SE rocks a 12-megapixel camera. Both iPhones offer a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera. The video recording functionality is another area where there is a healthy difference between the two devices.
The iPhone 5C offers 1080p HD video recording capabilities and captures video at 30 frames per second. Alternatively, the iPhone SE can capture 4k video at 30 frames per second, or 1080p HD video at either 30 or 60 frames per second. If you plan to lean on your new iPhone heavily for capturing special events or family memories, it may be worth the bump up to the iPhone SE to ensure you're capturing the highest quality pictures and video possible.
Often an afterthought but always critical, it's important to understand what kind of battery life you're going to get out of your device. The iPhone 5C battery offers 10 hours of talk time on a 3G network, or eight hours of Internet use on a 3G network. Alternatively, the iPhone SE offers roughly 14 hours of talk time on a 3G network, or roughly 12 hours of Internet use on a 3G network. Both device have a standby time of roughly 10 days. 0 of 8192 characters usedPost CommentNo HTML is allowed in comments, but URLs will be hyperlinked.

How do the new models compare to the iPhone 5s, They are, to put a not-so-subtle point on it, very different phones—at least in terms of design and size.
But Retina HD means more than just resolution and pixel density. According to Apple, the new screens are sRGB-accurate, and include an improved polarizer, photo-aligned IPS liquid crystal, and dual-domain pixels that provide a broader angle of view. One thing that had been rumored but didn’t appear in reality: The new iPhone screens are not made of sapphire. Apple does say they’re made from an “ion-strengthened glass” that’s more resistant to scratching and shattering than the previous generation’s displays.
