Kantar observed the iOS device breakdown as follows:
33% - iPhone 6
26% - iPhone 5S
16% - iPhone 5C
10% - iPhone 6 Plus
(I'm assuming the other 15% are iPads)
We've heard other reports saying that the iPhone 6 has been outselling the iPhone 6 Plus 3-to-1... so I'm not really shocked by Kantar's findings.
But I am shocked that more people are choosing the older iPhones rather than the newer models.
I don't think that's ever happened before... has it? I was under the impression that the current model has always handily outsold the older models. Maybe I was wrong.
So what's going on here? Are people turned off by the new sizes?
Or is it an availability problem? Maybe there are iPhone 4S users who are ready to upgrade... but only the 5S and 5C are available at the time.
Thoughts?
I'm just curious about the difference between current iPhone models and not-current iPhone models.
Right now... the not-current iPhones are selling more than the current iPhones.
I know Apple doesn't break down sales by model... but how well do you think the iPhone 5S sold this time last year compared to the 5C and 4S? Was it a similar "old vs new" situation like we have today?
It's because 5S/5C are more affordable especially for other countries in Asia or South America or Africa.
