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.

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": [250, 251, 252], "weight": 0.73876953125}, {"color": [9, 6, 18], "weight": 0.26123046875}], "keywords": [], "published": 1382452920000, "provider_name": "Engadget", "type": "html"}
