Should i get a iphone 5s or 5c for my preteen?

My son is twelve years old and i don't know if to get him the iPhone 5S or iPhone 5C for his birthday in February
Can you Please tell me which one to get for him

He'll like the colors of the 5c

The iPhone5S… I understand the iPhone 5C is cheaper and he's not even a teen yet, but if he is responsible enough for you to want to get him a phone, the 5S is the better buy…

(And BTW, if someone says a 12 year old shouldn't have a phone, don't listen… This is the 21st century, they make tablets for 2 year olds…)

Should be a 5s because it is maximum security and scans your fingerprint to get in and the 5c is jut plastic

Neither.

I would get him the 5c, They are cheaper, more colors etc. Also they are more durable the plastic is tough and being a 12 year old its almost guaranteed he'll drop it a few times. Apple isn't known for their shatter proof glass. Which ever one you decide to get make sure to get a good case for it. Very cheap on amazon, it will be worth the 10-15 bucks replacing a broken iphone is a lot more expensive than getting a cheap case that will protect it.

Whe i was twelve, I had crayons, transformers, and a guinea pig… Omfg.

Get iPhone 5C for him.
