It was an iPhone 5 in a plastic unibody. Compared to the actual iPhone 5 and the 5s, it felt kind of weird, slightly thicker, and heavier. Thin phones were the rage at the time, and personally the 5s felt better to hold. I really disliked my 5c. It launched with iOS7 as well, and I was still in the iOS6 camp. If I hadn’t received it as a gift, I would’ve found a way to get an iPhone 5 instead.
