Apple's iPhone 5S outsells cheaper iPhone 5c two to one by Joi Ware

Summary: There is no mistake that the IPhone is the thing to beat in the market. Shoppers were given a choice between the 5s and its cheaper competitor the 5c, and surprisingly most chose the 5s by more than two to one. Their motto, go big or go home. The 5s makes up 64% of the companies profits and the 5c only makes up 27%. In a lot of ways this is great news the famous Apple Company. A chart shows that Manhattan, New Jersey, and Brooklyn make up IPhone country. The most successful people are already IPhone users, but Apple still needs to grab the middle classes attention. Middle class buyers buy a an Iphone knowing its a status symbol. They dont want to be judged for getting the cheaper 5c when they could get the bigger and better 5s and have a better social status.

Analysis: For me, being an Iphone owner for 5 years now, at first I think its crazy when someone doesnt have at least one Apple product. I always forget that there are other companies that sell phones and electronics. Apple products are dominating our world and I dont think its a bad thing. The Iphone, Ipad, Ipod, and mac are helping our society reach a whole new level. We are discovering things that the world never thought possible a couple of years ago. We are becoming a better society thanks to apple and I'm not arguing!

  1. This is very interesting. I agree 100% with what you had to say about Apple, I also realized that while their products are revolutionary, many use them simply because others are.

  2. I think that is good that our technology is becoming how it is today. Some people think that it is bad to have all this technology, but it is helping people with so many things in their lives.

  3. I would buy the 5s simply because of the better value. For a few more dollars, you can get a faster, more sophisticated, and better technology. Apple is known to give a variation of options for all of their products, but this one is an easy decision to make hands down.

  4. The only really difference between 5S and 5C is just hardware and processing speed. I could care less which sells more, but I had that feeling 5C wouldn't be as successful as Apple thought. Still, I await the 6.
