Other minor changes include a different camera assembly and the design of the mute/ringer switch. The design of the iPhone 5C is also considerably thicker but closely similar to the design of the iPod Touch (5th generation) models, which is also available in a variety of colors but is constructed with different materials. However, due to the material of design changes, the phone weighs 132 grams, which is 20 grams heavier than both the 5 and the 5S, but still lighter than older iPhone models. The iPhone 5C was redesigned using polycarbonate housing, which is strengthened by a steel band. The iPhone XR released in 2018 was considered a spiritual successor to the 5C by some observers, but the XR shared similar internal hardware with its more expensive counterparts. The iPhone 5C was the last new iPhone to be sold at a lower price than the flagship iPhone until the release of the first-generation iPhone SE in 2016. On September 9, 2015, the 8 GB version was discontinued in all markets except for India, where it continued to be available February 17, 2016. On September 9, 2014, the 16 and 32 GB iPhone 5C models were replaced by the 8 GB model upon the announcement of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The iPhone 5C was released at a lower price point than the new flagship 5S unlike Apple's usual practice of lowering the price of the previous model upon release of a new version, the iPhone 5 was explicitly discontinued and replaced by the 5C.

The iPhone 5C was available in several color options and shipped with iOS 7. The iPhone 5C is a variant of the iPhone 5, with similar hardware specifications but a hard-coated polycarbonate shell instead of the aluminum of the original iPhone 5. The 'c' in the iPhone 5c's name stands for Color. The device was unveiled on September 10, 2013, and released on September 20, 2013, along with its higher-end counterpart, the iPhone 5S.
