Long story short, I have an upgrade next week and want to know which one to get. They look practically the same in every aspect, but was wondering if somebody actually knows a "hands on" difference. So Iphone 5 or 5c? p.s. don't have enough $$ for 5s

Siri lets me watch porn on the 5c without touching the phone so I guess it's more of a hands off difference. Or hands on. Cuz you know, i'm jerking it

5 looks better because its metal, but the 5c is better for times like on the chairlift when its cold, because the plastic keeps it a little warmer, so it will have to be colder for it to start glitching. I dont know if this problem affects you (it only happens when its below 10 degrees) but when Im on the chairlift with my friends who have metal backed phones theirs shut down randomly whereas my plastic backed phone does not.

this happens with my glass backed phone as well (iPhone 4S). The 5 is much classier and looks way better in my opinion, so if I had a choice I would get that. But if you do, make sure to get a bumper or a case because they're slippery as almighty fuck with cold hands.

Well you're gunna have to go with the 5c because the normal five is out of production, the 5c replaced it. (Unless you mean the 5s)

it doesn't matter at all, major service providers have an unreal amount of phones laying around. You can still buy brand new 4S's and they've been out of production for 2+ years
