9 Million iPhone 5S/5C Sold Within 3 Days

When it comes to new Apple products, massive sales are always recorded during for first week of release of these new products so its usually expected that sales will go above the charts.. However with the launch of iPhone 5S/5C last week, sales didn't just go above charts, it entered a new chart of its own.

iPhone 4 when it was launched sold out 4 million within 3 days of launch, iPhone 5 sold out 5 million during the first 3 days of launch but the iPhone 5S/5C sold out a massive 9 million devices.

This figure is just outstanding compared to other iPhone releases.

Not only was the selling of iPhone 5s/5c outstanding but also was the download of iOS 7 into supported devices. According to Apple, more than 200 million iOS 7 downloads were recorded within the days iOS 7 was released publicly to the world.

In the words of Tim Cook, “This is our best iPhone launch yet―more than nine million new iPhones sold―a new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”

This means that no matter what people might think of Apple devices, the demands are always unexpectedly high.

While some other parts of the world have to wait till September 20th before they can start pre order iPhone 5S, China and Honk Kong can start making orders already.

According to an online store Sina, at the time of this writing, only the 16 GB ‘space grey’ SKU’s remain available for reservation. All other models have sold out and are “currently unavailable”

However, high pre - order demand for the iPhone 5C by the Chinese people is considerably lower than that of the iPhone 5C and some have actually being delivered. Consequently, the unboxing video of iPhone 5C in this link.

Apple iPhone 5S and 5C Hands On Review

iPhone 5C

A number of news sites have been able to go hands-on with Apple's newly announced iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, both of which introduce a number of new features. While the iPhone 5c’s major selling point is its bright and colorful polycarbonate shell, the iPhone 5s boasts processor improvements and a new Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
 
iPhone 5s
In a hands-on post of the iPhone 5s, The Verge notes that the gold color “looks better in person” compared to leaked images, and notes that the "Space Gray" and white colors are very similar to the iPhone 5. The major difference between the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5 is the ring around the home button and the slightly larger flash.

iPhone 5S

Starting with that home button, it's now made of sapphire so that it can act as a reliable fingerprint reader. It's not nearly as concave as previous models — in fact, it's almost flat. Luckily, it still maintains a nice, tactile feel when you click on it and we don't foresee anybody running into any issues. We watched the fingerprint sensor unlock the phone quickly and easily (though we didn't get to try it ourselves).
Everything felt fast and fluid — although the animations in iOS 7 are still a little slow to our tastes — but scrolling in the new Safari was better than before, if only by a tiny amount.

TechCrunch also went hands-on with the iPhone 5s, and was able to experiment with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which supports up to five different fingerprints.

Essentially you spend some time letting the sensors in the Home button get used to your fingerprint, moving your finger around slightly, lifting it up just above the surface and putting it back down, with a graphic filling out how near the software is to being able to recognize your fingerprint (you can use thumb or index finger, depending on your preference).
The process took about 30 seconds to a minute overall, and then once it had successfully identified by fingerprint, it worked flawlessly to unlock the device for every subsequent trial. It also readily rejected Greg Kumparak’s attempts, proving that it isn’t just accepting all comers.

iPhone 5c
According to TechCrunch, the iPhone 5c has a “lightness” in the hand thanks to the single-piece case design and “looks fantastic” in its array of bright colors.

All of that is made more impressive by the fact that the iPhone performs terrifically, and looks fantastic. The colors really pop, and the case fits solidly in the hand and thanks to a slightly rubberized feel it should be easier to hold onto than any previous iPhone as well. The color-match wallpapers add to the charm of the overall package, and that’s likely to appeal to customers who just want a device that looks great out of the box and doesn’t require any laborious customization.

Engadget thought that the iPhone 5c had a very "solid" polycarbonate build that will hold up to scuffs and drops.

There is absolutely nothing about this setup that makes us believe it's not capable of handling a full share of wear and tear, and the reinforced steel frame convinces us that it's even going to survive falls without a problem.
Speaking of which, the 5c has a glossy finish, but we were quite happy to find that it's not the fingerprint magnet that we've come to expect on other devices. It sufficiently handled the greasy fingerprints of a couple hundred journalists, so we doubt there will be any reason to be concerned about this phone looking dirty. In fact, it has a subtle shine to it that serves to complement the color selection.

The Verge was also impressed with the feel of the plastic iPhone 5c, though noted that it did not compare to the high-end feel of the iPhone 5s.

The 5c is almost like a toy, a rugged, comfortable device that doesn’t feel much heavier than the iPhone 5 despite being noticeably larger. According to Apple, the device has a larger battery than the iPhone 5, which along with its plastic shell goes a way to explaining its bulk.
This is how you make a plastic phone, though: from the cohesive shell to the smooth and glossy back (which did pick up a fair number of fingerprints) the device feels far better than Samsung’s or LG’s plastic options. Even the rubbery cases look nice, their open-circle backs fitting in nicely with the color palette.

Both the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5s will be available for customers on September 20. Apple will begin accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 5c on September 13, but does not plan to take pre-orders for the iPhone 5s. The 16GB iPhone 5c will be priced at $99 while the 16GB iPhone 5s will be priced at $199, both with a 2-year contract.

High Quality Image of iPhone 5S and 5C Leaked

New high quality images of the iPhone 5S and 5C have appeared online again. Apart from the factory image of these devices that was leaked, another image just surfaced online again. These latest leaked images have come from Apple researcher Sonny Dickson, who has recently established a reputation as a reliable source for many Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C leaks. One question that someone asked was that "is the iPhone 5C cheap for both Apple and you or for just Apple alone"?

Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 5S and 5C by September 10th and it can be said that everything needed to make sure that the devices are ready before the unveiling event is being put in place.

iPhone 5S would have black, white and champagne colours and the iPhone 5C would have Red, Blue, Yellow and White range of colours.

The latest leak by Dickson involves the champagne colored iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C with various colour cases. 

Although some have said that the iPhone 5C is just an iPhone 5 wrapped in a plastic case. Even though that may be the case, the face that it will sell cheaper than the normal iPhone 5 and come pre-loaded with iOS 7  will make it a success.

The truth is, no matter how much we see the images of Apple devices, we are never satisfied until we hold one in our hands.

Stay tuned for more images of iPhone 5S and 5C as they emerge.
