Early adopters in the week have shown that the iPhone 5s appearing on its network was outpacing the iPhone 5c by a ratio of about 3.4 to 1. However later on in the week by Thursday, the ratio evened to 2.9 to 1. This is still quite the big difference between the two headsets. There is a big difference between the two iPhones. The iPhone 5s includes latest technology from Apple such as the Touch ID, while in the iPhone 5c, it’s last year’s model in a new shell with minimal upgrades.

Most of the iPhones were on the big two, AT&T and Verizon, while the remaining were on Sprint and T-Mobile.
