    Probably meaningless, but a search for 'iPhone' on Twitter doesn't show many "Just ordered" tweets...

        @monkbent I'm guessing there's not a big number of early adopters in the iPhone 5c's target audience.

        @monkbent Isn't that because http://apple.com  says you can't order until the 20th September?

        @monkbent the diehards (like me!) who typically order as soon as they can probably have a 5 and are going to get a 5S, not a 5C.

        @monkbent 5c isn't targeted at late night/early morning preorder buyers (crazy geeks).

        @monkbent people who will be pre-ordering PROBABLY aren't 5c purchasers in general, more of a see and buy phone.

        @monkbent The type of ppl that orders iPhones at midnight are probably waiting for the iPhone 5s is my guess. Still think the 5c will be big
