Many have taken for granted the affirmation that the iPhone 5c was a 'flop', calling it a disappointment and failed attempt by Apple. However, facts say something else and a new report is here to prove this once more. According to a recent report from Kantar World Panel company, for August, the iPhone 5c was the best selling smartphone in the UK, even outselling the iPhone 5s.

Apple was boosted by the iPhone 5c, which was Britain’s best selling smartphone during August.

Dominic Sunnebo, strategic insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, said the following:

“Historically in the month before a new iPhone is released we see a drop in sales share for Apple as users hold out for the new model. However, Apple has managed to limit the drop this year with its share of sales dipping just 1.6 percentage points versus July this year – almost half the equivalent drop seen in 2013 ahead of the iPhone 5 launch.

This has in part been achieved through focusing on the iPhone 5c which tends to attract a slightly less tech savvy buyer who will be less likely to be holding off for the iPhone 6. The iPhone 5c was the best selling phone in Britain in August with 8.9% share, outselling the flagship iPhone 5s with 7.6% and the Samsung Galaxy S5 with 6.0%.”

So, there you go, even if the iPhone 5c didn't sell as many units as the flagship iPhone 5s on a global scale, it still managed to snag in plenty.

I believe it. I was in London, England in August and saw some impressive iPhone 5C ads. Here's one.
