You can find the full list of features for the 5c and 5s on Apple's site, but above you'll find a breakdown of the main differences between the two. Most obvious are the colors and material. The 5c comes in all kinds of colors with a plastic backing, whereas the 5s sticks with silver, gray, and gold metal. The differences between the two are more than skin deep though.
For the most part, the iPhone 5c has the same guts as the now-discontinued iPhone 5. It's the same basic speed, shape, and has the same camera. While the colors are nice, the 5c is a plastic case, which means it won't have quite the same feel. Otherwise, it's essentially a repackaged iPhone 5 with a $99 or $199 price tag.
The 5s has a few notable improvements over the iPhone 5. The most obvious is the new fingerprint sensor. This allows you to unlock your iPhone with your fingerprint so you don't have to worry about passcodes and passwords. The iPhone 5s gets a new 64-bit A7 chip, which Apple claims is about twice as fast as the iPhone 5 (and subsequently the iPhone 5c). It also has a new M7 motion coprocessor to handle specific motion-based tasks so the CPU doesn't have to work as hard.
The other main addition to the iPhone 5s is the new camera. It's still an 8 MP camera, but it now has a wider sensor and aperture so it can take better low-light photos. The iPhone 5s also gets a new burst mode for quick pictures and "True Tone" flash for more accurate colors when using the flash. The 5s continues the same pricing scheme of previous years with the lowest cost 16 GB model coming in at $199 and prices going up from there.
Otherwise, everything else is pretty much the same. The screen size hasn't changed on either from previous models, Siri works the same on every device, and both the 5c and the 5s see a small increase in battery life over previous generations.
