My family is what I would consider an Apple family, we have three Apple computers, two iPads, countless iPods, and have always and I mean always, used the iPhone. On top of that, we have all heartily recommended Apple products to friends and family. I love Apple and vowed to not touch an Android phone with a ten foot pole, ever. In fact, I used to shake my head at those poor Android phone users because I figured they can''t possibly know what they are missing.  When my sister switched to Android, I actually felt personally slighted.As soon as I could, I got the 5c and I was so excited to explore all the new features it had to offer. Despite endless ribbing from me about how sorry she will be, my wife shocked me by deciding to switch and upgraded to an Android phone at the same time because she said she was tired of the same old, same old. Since she had 14 days to return it if she didn''t like it, she felt like it was worth a shot. To my absolute surprise(and horror!), I found myself playing with her phone endlessly on day one while mine sat virtually untouched. I was streaming on her phone in beautiful HD on a crisp, bright, larger screen and loving it. What I had always assumed would be a clunky interface, was smooth and slick.Ok, I told myself, enough horsing around, time to enjoy mine because after all, I love iPhones and Android phones are stupid. First impression, I like the feel of the 4c. It has a solid, feel despite how some people feel about the plastic housing. The screen is bright and crisp. It''s fast and doesn''t hog the battery. It''s like owning a completely new phone, no wait, it''s not. With a slightly, and I mean slightly bigger screen and some upgrades, it is just like the iPhone I upgraded from. Not that fun.Now here is where Apple lovers will swoop in to "defend" Apple as though they have some vested interest in the company. Even as an Apple lover myself, I don''t understand this. I notice that any review that does not extol the iPhone in all it''s glory causes people to freak out. Really? Why spend your precious time defending any company or their products for them? I admit I know what it is like when someone says they don''t care for an Apple product. It almost feels personal, almost. But to blast someone for their opinion is just plain dumb. Apple will not call you and personally thank you. They don''t care. Surely you have something better to do with your time. If you like your phone, great! But everyone is entitled to their opinion. And the fact that I almost feel shame giving the iPhone a less than five star rating tells you that Apple products are a huge part of my life. But, I will not just blindly love a product just because I love the company. I don''t owe any company my complete devotion or my dollars and I would be embarrassed and saddened if I did. Regardless, I am sure my review will be picked apart by fanboys as soon as it is posted. I''ll say it again, this is just my opinion folks. If you like the 5c, then by all means get it and love it. I just wanted to post an opinion from someone who loves Apple and yet, isn''t crazy about this phone.That being said however, if you love the iPhone usability and are used to it, you will find much of the same here. That is what nearly made me keep mine. And Siri is a pretty neat feature too. It is a solid little phone and you probably won''t hate it, especially if you already like the iPhone. But there isn''t much new here.The thing is, at one time, the iPhone broke new ground. The first time I laid eyes on one, I practically fainted because it was so freaking cool. There is no question that the iPhone paved the way for every phone that has followed since and in my opinion, Apple keeps setting the benchmarks that cause other tech companies to have to scramble just to catch up. Unfortunately, this phone offers little innovation and while it is a solid little number, it is getting tired. I am looking forward to the next iPhone because it sounds like there will be a lot of changes. I am almost positive I will be frothing at the mouth to switch back to iPhone in the future if what I have read is true. And I hope it is. For now though, I returned my 5c and got an Android phone(I never, ever thought I would be typing that sentence!!!). I love my new phone and for the next two years I will stick with it. But we will see where Apple goes from here. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy my Apple computers, iPads, and iPods because wow, they are all flawless. Thanks for reading!
