So the "c" in the iPhone 5c stands for "cheap". Not in price, but in cost to produce.
Up until now, when Apple released a new phone, the previous version would be sold for a hundred bucks less in order to offer a less expensive iPhone to the market. With the iPhone 5s coming out now, they've decided that they can produce a new, cheaper, uglier, easier to make version instead of continuing to produce the actual iPhone 5.
In other words, if you're going to spend the money on an iPhone 5c, you would be way better off spending it on a used mint condition iPhone 5 instead of Apple's little bastard.
