Those beeps have nothing to do with where you started, or where you are, they

you could go back to the bookmark if you go to sleep.
HTH,

Hi,
Internally, they're two different phones. The 5C is considered a
mid-range phone in that it has all the features of iPhone 5
except it is housed in a plastic case. So think of 5C as a
plastic version of 5, with 5S being the more capable brother to
5C.
