-The iPhone 5C comes in five different color - blue, green, pink, yellow, and white.

-The price for an iPhone 5C starts at $99 with a contract, or $549 without one. The pricier "5S" starts at $199 with a contract and comes in three colors gray, silver, and gold. It also comes with a new feature that has been rumored for months - finger scanner technology.

-A less expensive iPhone will allow Apple to enter the Chinese market, were it was more difficult to get the previous versions.

-This iPhone has similar dimensions to the iPhone 5. It has a similar retina display and processor of the iPhone 5.

-The iPhone 5C weighs 4.65 ounces, while the iPhone 5S only weighed 3.95 ounces.

-It also includes a separate chip, called the "M7 Motion co-processor", which can track motion data continuously without heavily draining the battery.

- The iPhone 5S includes an 8 megapixel iSight camera and a new FaceTime camera, but doesn't include a finger scanning system that the iPhone 5C has. 

-The product will be available for pre-order September 13th and available to all on September 30th.
