My daughter's boyfriend wants a 5C instead of a 5S, because he likes all the cool colours. My daughter, on the other hand, wants a 5S because she likes the 64-bit processor. I told him she should upgrade her boyfriend while she's at it. Actually I'd prefer she didn't have a boyfriend at all but that's just me being a dad.
