For my birthday, I was thinking of taking my birthday money and also saving up some of my own to buy a pink iPhone 5c. I've never had an iPhone, so it's a little scary, because I don't want to waste my money on a phone I wont end up wanting. I've had the Galaxy s3 for almost a year now, but it's just starting to get really slow. It glitches, shuts itself off sometimes, and the charger jack is starting to get loose. I was just wondering what you guys think, is it worth it? Is the camera good, the screen, the sound. IM SO SCARED. help me ;-;
iPhone 5c?

phone are overrated
have this instead
have this instead
Anyways, I have an iPhone 5c, I've had two actually. The first one I got for Christmas in 2013, then in January this year, my former friend broke the antenna that's inside the phone (she literally pressed down on the phone so hard it broke) and I was able to replace it. It's a really good phone for it's price, and the camera & sound is really good also. The only few flaws it has is that the camera doesn't have slow-mo mode like its successor (iPhone 5s and up), the chip it uses is the Apple A6 which is slower (not really) than the iPhone 5s's A7 chip but I honestly think both the 5c & 5s runs at the same speed. Finally, if you tend to drop your phone a lot, a case is highly recommended cause the phone is fragile, just buy an otterbox off of ebay (they're cheap and brand new so it's a good buy.) Overall I think you should get it but it's not my choice of course. Hope this helps and happy birthday!
EDIT: The 5c's now only run on 8GB of storage (I have a 16GB) so if you're not a person who needs a lot of storage then get this phone, if not then get a 5s or even possibly a 6.

I'll just throw in my 2 cents: the iPhone C is meant to be cheap. As such, it feels cheep, runs cheap, and is overall cheaper.
Yes, that's a bad thing. Especially since the backend for iOS keeps getting more processor intensive, the C will begin having troubles running things.
Also, 8GB sounds like a lot of space, but remember that the OS takes up over half of that, and you'll probably be left with only about 2.5-3 GB of space for apps/etc.
Furthermore, Apple has a history of not fixing security issues with iPhones and Macs. I wouldn't trust an apple product with any remotely personal information, ever. Just look at the celebrity *pictures* hack that happened, the hacks of ApplePay/etc., and Mac. Furthermore, when security issues are brought to their attention, they don't even recognize them. Much less admit they were at fault and fix them.
I wouldn't go with an iPhone - go with the newest Galaxy you can afford.
