  1. Congrats to Apple!! Wonder which one sold more – the 5s or the 5c. The gold iPhone 5s is very, very tempting : )

    • Tempting for me too. My iPhone 4 contract have ended after all. If I am getting one this year, I would buy off contract unit.

    • It interesting to see how much China contributed to this numbers. You realized the numbers tell you one or few things — big screen phone is really not all the rage. Although Apple said iPhone 5c is not a cheap iPhone, but lets face it, $100 cheaper makes a lot of different.

      Are you aiming for gold color iPhone 5s?
