The iPhone 5S is outselling the lower-cost iPhone 5C by more than two to one.
According to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners data — as first reported by AllThingsD — the 5S made up 64% of iPhone sales since the latest-generation devices launched in September. The 5C accounted for 27%, while the iPhone 4S made up 9%.
The data comes several weeks after analytics firm Localytics reported a 3.5 to 1 lead for the iPhone 5S over the 5C.
However, the iPhone 5 had a slightly more successful launch than the iPhone 5S with 68% of new sales (compared to 64% accounted by the 5S). Of course, the iPhone 5 didn't launch alongside a brand-new, lower-cost model, and the iPhone 5S did.
“The relative performance of all three iPhones is generally in line with the performance of the similarly priced phones following the launch of the iPhone 5 in 2012,” CIRP cofounder Josh Lowitz told AllThingsD. “Over time, the lower-priced phones have tended to gain share versus the flagship phone, after the initial rush of dedicated upgraders to the newest device. So we expect that the 5C will account for a higher percent of total U.S. iPhone sales in the coming months, but the design changes may alter that dynamic.”
