It comes courtesy of stat collectors at an app marketing platform called Localytics, who claim they've spotted a distinct upwards trend in the number of Americans using a 5c relative to a 5s. Whereas usage of the flagship metal iPhone was 3.4x higher during the launch weekend, this ratio has drifted down to 1.9x one month later, suggesting that a secondary wave of not-so-early adopters is happy to give the cheaper model a bit more consideration. Of course, these ratios don't tell us anything about absolute sales figures for either handset -- we'll have to wait on first-hand info from carriers or from Apple itself (perhaps as part of today's <a href=\"https://www.engadget.com/2013-10-21-apple-liveblog-tomorrow.html\">event</a>) before we know those.</p>\n</div>", "entities": [], "favicon_colors": [{"color": [6, 7, 7], "weight": 0.2177734375}, {"color": [240, 240, 240], "weight": 0.0322265625}], "keywords": [{"score": 0, "name": "iphone 5s"}, {"score": 0, "name": "iphone"}], "published": 1382452920000, "provider_name": "Engadget", "type": "html"}
