There have been a lot of different estimates about the breakdown of last weekend’s 9 million iPhone sales but KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that it’s more likely that Apple actually sold more iPhone 5c models than iPhone 5s models. Per AppleInsider, Kuo has sent out a new research note claiming that Apple sold between 3.5 million and 4.5 million iPhone 5s models during its opening weekend while also selling between 4.5 million and 5.5 million iPhone 5c models. Kuo has established a pretty reliable track record when it comes to insider Apple information so it wouldn’t be surprising if his estimates were more on the mark than other analysts’ projections.
