In the first three days of sales (September 20-22), Apple sold nine million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c smartphones. This is stated in a press release received by the editors of Lenta.ru.

Apple did not say how many units of each model were sold, but there is reason to believe that the more expensive iPhone 5s was in great demand. Thus, a survey conducted by the British The Daily Telegraph showed that 93 percent of people who lined up at one of the London Apple Stores on the first day of sales wanted to buy the 5s.

The popularity of the iPhone 5s is also evidenced by the delivery times in the Apple online store. In most countries, a customer who orders an iPhone 5c will receive it within 24 hours, while the iPhone 5s will only be delivered "in October."

Apple said that device sales “broke a record,” referring to last year: then, in the first three days, 5 million iPhone 5 smartphones were sold. Note, however, that this year the company is selling two new devices at once. In addition, iPhone 5 at the start of sales was available in 9 countries, and iPhone 5s and 5c in 11.

The company also announced that the iOS 7 operating system, released on September 18, has been installed by users on two hundred million devices. Apple called it "the fastest software update in history."

The iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c smartphones were presented on September 10. The iPhone 5c is similar in hardware to the iPhone 5, released in 2012, but differs from it in its plastic body and variety of colors. iPhone 5s is equipped with a fingerprint scanner and a 64-bit processor.
