iPhone 5s Outsells 5c by a Factor of 3.4x in the United States Opening Weekend; iOS 7 Fastest-Ever OS Take-up

iPhone 5s Outsells 5c by a Factor of 3.4x in the United States Opening Weekend

Web Analytics and marketing platform Localytics’ Bernd Leger reports that the clear winner is the iPhone 5s, noting that In less than 3 days, the iPhone 5s and 5c combined went from zero to represent about 1.36% of the total numbers of all iPhones activated in the U.S. market across the top 4 carriers AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile.

Based on the carrier data they’re watching, 1.05% of all iPhones in the United States are now iPhone 5s, while just 0.31% are iPhone 5c, which means that the iPhone 5s is outselling the 5c by a factor of 3.4x among early adopters. However, we can expect the relative sales volumes between the two models to balance out more after the first spike of sales flattens out, since it makes logical sense that users who feel compelled to buy a new device the first weekend it launches are most likely power users who won’t be the typical iPhone buyer.

Internationally, Leger reports that a similar pattern is emerging, with the iPhone 5s outpacing the 5c by an average factor of about 3.7x, but one exception is Japan where the 5s is outselling the 5c by a factor of 5x.
