Ilona Tandlerová Although Apple announced a record first weekend of sales (9 million pieces), the company failed to break the record in the number of individual types of equipment sold. However, the analytics company Localytics shared data according to which the iPhone 5s is sold 3,4 times more than the iPhone 5c among users in the United States.
In less than three days, the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c managed to achieve a 1,36% share of all iPhone numbers in the United States market (carriers AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile). From this data, we can read that 1,05% of all active iPhones in the US are iPhone 5s and only 0,31% are iPhone 5c. This also means that early enthusiasts prefer the "high-end" 5s model.
Global data shows a slightly higher dominance – for every iPhone 5c model sold, there are 3,7 units of the higher model, in some countries, such as Japan, the ratio is up to five times higher.
The 5c was available for pre-order on Apple's website and stores are now well stocked. Conversely, the iPhone 5s is rather in short supply and the online order form shows preliminary delivery in October. The gold and silver models are even worse. Even Apple itself did not have enough of them in its Apple Stores on the first day of sales.
The significant difference between the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c is not expected to last long. For first-time owners, the higher-end model is expected to be more attractive, while in the long-term, the cheaper option will appeal to a wider audience.
I kind of wish that the iP5c would be a sales breakthrough and that Apple would reconsider its pricing policy in that "bad" uninteresting Europe.
I wonder how many iP4s they sold?? The prices of the iP 5C are inflated for exactly 2 reasons - for those who want quality and design to buy the 5S, and for those looking for the price - to buy the 4S, which they obviously have in stock...
So don't discount the 5C because they don't sell much, but only discount them when they run out of things for the 4S!
Apple is simply a businessman first and only we, their fans, still see something more in them... Something more was Steve - this is just another corporation that is not worth admiring!!
When the market determines at what price the 5C can be sold. It must have been clear to everyone that the one who has 5C, will not have a problem with 5S. I don't believe the sales people at Apple don't know this. I'm rather expecting NOK 2 with appropriate celebrations and a discounted discount...
Or they knew exactly how it would be, i.e. that they would feed the hungry with the option to buy something else, but they would then voluntarily buy the 5S instead. So there is a choice, but they will sell what they make more money on and the customer will still be happy how he did well to buy the slightly more expensive 5S, but faster, TouchID, better camera and aluminum, voe :-)
Yes, I'm just not sure if the margin on the iPhone5s is enough to cover the cost of manufacturing/stocking the colored 5c plastic.
Personally, I expected the ratio to be even worse, the iPhone 5c is not for Apple enthusiasts who buy a new iPhone at the first opportunity. But that will change in the long run. Many acquaintances have already told me that they don't want a phone designed like the iPhone 5s, but rather a 5c, which is more cool for them, and I understand that, the classic iPhone design is not for everyone. So far, I'm excited about the new generation of iPhones in every aspect (sales, parameters,...) and I can't wait for iPads :)
Personally, I think that the iP5c is mainly intended for Asia. So I am interested in Cina Mobile numbers. We'll see. Even if the Chinese are quite snobbish and gold will attract them, maybe a joke.)
iphone is just image and certain life status, and you want to fill this with a cheap plastic phone... so I'm going to buy those cheap plastic rolexes... doesn't that sound weird?
They don't sound like Rolexes :D
That's iBéé's hard work again. Really, guys, try going outside sometime. It doesn't take very far. Germany. France. Belgium. GB. Luxembourg. Thanks to the subsidies, both businessmen and street-cleaning niggers have iPhones (no exaggeration!). Now go somewhere with that crap about the standard of living. An iPhone is a completely ordinary consumer product.
well... so even the black guy wants a 5S file from... and by the way, I lived in Germany for 4 years.... e.g. an architect without Apple in this country is half the price, and of course it's not about the price... it's the complexity of marketing that makes Apple look quite decent and the usability of the system also helps... it's about a car, mobile phone, computer, shoes, watches and many other unnecessary things that shape the overall impression and apple does it well believe it or not…. even if this way of life gets on my nerves, it still overwhelms you a little when you want to support your family, especially in Germany, and I know what I'm talking about....
and I also want to add that coming to the company next week with 5c is simply "unangebracht"
