Apple's iPhone 5s is 3 Times More Popular Than The iPhone 5c

iPhone 5S is 3 Times more Popular than iPhone 5C

Apple’s iPhone 5s is three times more popular than the iPhone 5c, according to recent data from Localytics.
It’s certainly unsurprising news, as preorders for the “low-cost” iPhone 5c appeared to be unimpressive and subsequent demand for the handset in the Apple Online Store seemed weak. On the other hand, Apple’s high-end iPhone 5s sold out in the Apple Online Store, and shipping estimates have been pushed back to October.
Localytics explains that the iPhone 5s appears to be outselling the iPhone 5c by a factor of 3.4, with the data collected based on some 20 million Web impressions made by iPhone handsets.
Localytics also broke down iPhone 5s and 5c adoption by carrier, and found that AT&T had the highest buy-in rate, with the 5s and 5c making up 0.67 percent of all phones on the network. And probably not surprisingly, given the number of stock outages reported for the iPhone 5s, it is leading the way on the Localytics platform by a fairly wide margin, representing 1.05 percent of all U.S. iPhones, while the 5c trails with 0.31 percent of the total breakdown. Aside from comments on Twitter and other social media sites indicating the 5s was in higher demand and shorter supply, a conversation with an Apple Store employee this weekend at the Covent Garden location in London indicates that the 5s was sold out very quickly, with many 5c units remaining in stock as of Saturday.
Here’s how the four main U.S. carriers compare in terms of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c active users.
The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
Of course, it’s unlikely that the ratio of iPhone 5s to iPhone 5c sales will be maintained in the coming months. Customers looking to queue up for an iPhone at launch weekend aren’t going to opt for a mass market model such as the iPhone 5c, and are instead much more likely to purchase the high-end, flagship handset on offer.
This clearly proved to be the case on Friday. Whether the iPhone 5c is able to attract more customers in the near future, however, of course remains to be seen.
In other news, after wavering a couple of days ago, it seems iOS 7 usage overtook that of iOS 6 this past weekend.

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
