Apple iPhone 5S, 5C size comparison: David against the Android Goliath
Apple has just unveiled not one but two new iPhones - the ‘forward thinking’ iPhone 5S with top-shelf specs like a new 64-bit Apple A7 chip, better camera and fingerprint sensor, and the colorful iPhone 5C. And guess what? Yup, both devices feature a 4-inch screen. Great for single handed use, but not so great if you ask all Android fans buying 5-inch and larger devices.

Apple however does not seem worried that it has to combat larger devices with sharper displays. But are the iPhone 5S and 5C smaller? The two devices have nearly identical sizes, but put them side to side with their Android rivals, and the picture starts to look like the Biblical fight between David and Goliath. No need to say who’s David in this case, right?

To better illustrate our words, and help you visualize just how big the new iPhones are and how they compare against larger Android phones, take a look right below.
