iPhone 5C review: Design and build The iPhone 5C is essentially the iPhone 5, but with a colourful new coat. The five colour options match the theme of iOS 8 and are certainly bright.

It’s no secret: the ease of using a smart home device comes at the cost of privacy – or at least how much of our personal data we are willing to barter for the undeniable convenience these devices bring to our busy lives.
