What's the difference between an iphone 5 and 5C?

Apple copied spongebob's pretty patty idea

The iPhone 5 and 5C are identical. Same screen, same resolution, same processor, same everything else. The only difference between the two is that it has dropped the aluminium back and changed it for coloured-plastic, it has a slightly better battery and it fixed a problem with the camera.
All else is the same. If you have an iPhone 5, stay with it, unless you're going to get the 5S.
