Does anyone have data on 4s tracking relative to 5 one year ago?

> more than offsetting weak demand for the midrange iPhone 5C

These guys, and many others, are still not getting the paradigm. The 5C is not the "mid range" any more than the 4s is the low range.

The 5C is last years phone in a cheaper case, hence a bigger profit margin which frees up aluminum so they can make all the 5S phones they can sell, the 4S is the one before that hardly anyone buys so the Aluminum in it doesn't really interfere with 5S production.

They SHOULD be comparing it to last year's ratio between 5 and 4S sales.
