Demand for the iPhone 5S â" with its new fingerprint lock â" is outstripping demand for the cheaper, plastic iPhone 5C by 3.4 times, according to wireless carrier activation data compiled by Localytics [1] :
In less than 3 days, the iPhone 5s and 5c combined now 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. From the data we are seeing, 1.05% of all iPhones in the United States are now iPhone 5s and just 0.31% are iPhone 5c. That means that the iPhone 5s outshines the 5c by a factor of 3.4x, a clear indicator that the early adopters are favoring the high-end 5s compared to 5c.
Supplies of the iPhone 5S are backed up into October in Apple's store. The gold iPhone 5S is particularly scarce .
