Apple's iPhone 6 is THREE times more popular than the 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 accounted for 68 per cent of all sales through September and into early October, while its larger model took between 23 and 24 per cent.Apple's cheaper iPhone 5S and 5C handsets made up the rest of the sales.   Following last year's launch, the 5S and 5C accounted for 84 per cent of total iPhone sales in the first 30 days - proving the 6 range is more popular.The skew is being blamed on reports that stocks of the iPhone 6 Plus are lower because Apple is struggling to complete orders.The figures come from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIPR) analyst Steven Milunovich. He also noted that more people are buying larger models of the devices, in terms of storage, with the average capacity reported as 48GB. As Apple Insider points out, this is almost double last year's figure, but may be due to the fact Apple has removed the 32GB model from the range, offering a 16GB, 64GB and 128GB as standard. A separate CIPR report, from analysts Joshua Lowitz and Michael Levin, found that fewer people switched from Android to iOS this year, compared to last year. In September 2013, 23 per cent of iPhone customers said they had previously owned an Android phone, but this year the figure was closer to 12 per cent. But, it explained that although there were fewer people making the switch, those who did, chose the more expensive iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, rather than the iPhone 5C and 5S. Typically, Android owners opt for cheaper iPhones - but this year was an exception. Last month, T-Mobile boss chief executive John Legere said the iPhone 6 Plus was 'exceeding expectations' - and was on par with the smaller iPhone 6 model.He said he had expected the Plus model to make up around 20 per cent of sales, but this figure has been closer to 45 per cent.Mr Legere was talking at Recode’s Code/Mobile event in Moon Bay California.He admitted the figures were more than twice the sales his firm had expected.These figures bolster those observed on the weekend the two devices were released back in September.A Piper Jaffray survey found the larger model was outselling the smaller version, and analyst Gene Munster said at the time the Plus was ‘more popular’.During initial benchmark tests by Anandtech, the iPhone 6 was found to have the fastest web browsing and page loading times on any device, just ahead of the iPhone 6 Plus.The iPhone 6 also performed well in graphics testing, coming second with an average frame per second rate of 49.5. This was only behind the NVIDIA Shield tablet, on 57.1.The iPhone 5S was third, on 40.2, followed by the iPhone 6 Plus on 34.4.Furthermore, the display on the iPhone 6 Plus was praised by experts at DisplayMate, who called the screen ‘the best performing smartphone LCD’ the site has ever tested.Bakudaily.Az
