Hi Cait, If I were going to get the 5C, I'd definitely get the pink one! :)
IN fact, I wish the 5S came in colors! I actually like the feel of the 5C better than the 5S. However, since the 5S has the new camera and M7 coprocessor, I'm looking at that one. Yes, I'd assume that if someone didn't like the background they could just change it. Personally I think it's cool that the backgrounds match the colors of the phones. Unfortunately, this doesn't translate to 3rd party apps. I wish it did. My comments in response to Joseph's note were just to say that generalizations based on sex really aren't cool. I would get the same color of 5C you did, but certainly not every woman might. So that was all. Anyway, how do you like your 5C so far? Smiles, Cara :) On Oct 1, 2013, at 1:49 AM, Cait and Maggie <caitlyn.furn...@gmail.com> wrote: when I bought my new 5C, I got the pink one. The girl helping me at the store told me that the background on the phone matched the actual phone's colour. So, I guess if you just want a dark background or a plain white one, just get the phones in those colours. I don't know about the 5S and the colour schemes for that one. If you didn't like the background, can't you just change the wallpaper?
