iPhone 5c colours may vary and change over time.
1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
2. Display size is measured diagonally.
3. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Mobile data charges may apply.
4. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. Availability over a mobile network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
5. 4G LTE is available in selected markets and through selected carriers. Speeds are based on theoretical throughput and vary based on site conditions. For details on 4G LTE support, contact your carrier and see www.apple.com/iphone/LTE.
6. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by an Apple service provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries and www.apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information.
