If a report is to believed then sales of the iPhone 6 in the US are going pretty good as compared to those of its 6 Plus cousin, as the former is beating the latter by a 3-to-1 margin in this department. This indicates that despite the market’s heavy leaning towards the phablet fad, Apple fans still prefer to go for normal-sized 4.7-inch screens.
This information comes from a sales breakdown done by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners which scrutinizes the devices’ performance during the first one month of their availability in the US. According to Apple Insider, analyst Steven Milunovich of UBS has summarized this data, and has said that the iPhone 6 managed to account for 68 percent of all iPhone sales, while the 6 Plus variant contributed to around 23 and 24 percent.
This means, the two newest entrants into Apple’s smartphone repertoire together represented about 91 to 92 percent of total iPhone sales during the first month of their availability. The remaining 8 to 9 percent are of course accounted for by previous-gen 5S and 5C models.
