Apple released these two phones at almost the same time in 2013. Both the phones therefore are similar in most aspects but not exactly the same of course. They may even have common features, yet one of them wins the market for its better features, can you guess which one?
Apple iPhone 5c
iPhone 5c successfully replaced iPhone 5 in the market. Most of the internal features are an identical to that of the original predecessor. However, Apple has gone with some smart new implementations.

The chassis is made available in several colors which you can match and carry around. The 4 inch screen has an over 300 pixels per inch resolution which makes it quite bright and sharp in appearance. It also has IPS LCD, Oleophobic coating and light and proximity sensor.
Specifications, Camera & Battery
A bright 8 mega pixels camera with LED flash, auto focus and geo tagging makes this phone a fully equipped for taking photos. It even captures videos at 1080p and has a front camera of 1.2 mega pixels. The 1507 mAh battery is not user replaceable which is at its disadvantage. There is no proper USB connector – you have to use a standard cable instead of microUSB connection. The built in storage of this phone is only 32 GB and it lacks any expanded memory storage slot. However it has a Dual core processor and a 1 GB RAM. It also allows for fast 4G connection.
Apple iPhone 5s

Design & Display
As far as design is concerned this phone is not unique. However being the compact phone that it is, this phone is compared with some of the best phones in the world. It is petite and ideal for any casual user design wise. Other than that the size of the phone as well the screen resolution is similar to that of iPhone 5c. Both these phones are similar in display aspect.
Specifications, Camera & Battery
Even this phone has a 8 mega pixels camera with almost all the features that the iPhone 5c possesses. Actually on an overview the two phones are really quite similar. However this phone has 1024 MB RAM which is slightly higher than iPhone 5c. It has 1570 mAh battery capacity – higher than 5c but by a bare minimum. The built in storage of this phone is 64 GB which is twice that of the iPhone 5c. But this phone lacks memory card slot as well.
