Agreed. 5C buyers are also probably more likely to want to see and touch the things.

But I think the main reason would be to wait for 5S to go on sale and then report the combined sales, since just reporting 5C is guaranteed to be lower than the 2 million the 5 sold on the first day. So in order to avoid people drawing the wrong conclusions and tanking the stock they report nothing and the stock tanks
