Apple iPhone 5S Vs 5C: A comparison

Apple Inc unveiled on Tuesday much-anticipated iPhone 5s and the lower-priced iPhone 5c smartphones.

The entry-level "iPhone 5C" comes in five hues - blue, green, pink, yellow and white - and starts in the United States at USD 99 with a contract, or USD 549 without, signaling prices that may disappoint those hoping for an aggressive assault on China and India.

The pricier "5S" begins at USD 199 with a contract and also comes in three colors - gray, silver and gold - and sports a faster processor, a camera that takes bursts of photos and chooses the best, and the fingerprint-scanner that unlocks the phone with a touch.
