iPhone 6 Demand Remains Strong As Supply Improves

Let me get this straight. So people won't be buying the iPhone 6S or 6S+ cause everyone is buying the iPhone 6 right?
Can't wait to rub my iPhone 6S in people's faces!
"In other news, millions line up for the iPhone 6S even though everyone was patiently waiting for iPhone 6 and have one!"
I kind of question if people like being in debt or something lol.

With Apple iPhone sales exploding in Q4 and Samsung continuing to decline, it's going to be interesting to see if Apple ships more iPhones in the quarter than Samsung does total phones. What an embarrassment that would be.
1,004 random people are more significant than, e.g. 1 million people entering an apple store.
The quality of a sample IS NOT only about the population size.
Where exactly were iPhones in short supply? In Apple stores? I walked into TMo and got my daughters iP6 for her birthday in November. Heck even MVNO's like Boost had stock of 6's and 6+'s. As someone else mentioned, Best Buy and other stores were stocked. Seems the only people who had problems getting a phone were the ones who ordered online from Apple. Go figure.
You have NO CLUE what your talking about don't you. Polls for national elections routinely are 1024 or 2048 randomly polled people. If the sampling of 1024 is representative or the underlying population (however we define it), then it has a 3% margin of error 95% of the time.
From Wiki :
The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence one should have that the poll's reported results are close to the "true" figures; that is, the figures for the whole population. Margin of error occurs whenever a population is incompletely sampled.

Of course, your situation is representative of EVERY ONE's situation. Who needs sampling... ;-).
I'm still s frustrated iPhone user. I actually WANT a 4" iPhone 6. Yes, imagine that! Many of my friends are the same way. The sales will be even higher when Apple releases an iPhone 6 jr.
I ordered from Apple with out any issues. I think it depends on the configuration.
Pretty snarky considering I asked a legitimate question. Did you miss the question marks in my quote? I do apologize, however, for misrepresenting my situation for everyone else's. Oh wait, that never actually happened. At least not in my quote.
Would have been nice if you actually tried to answer the question instead of doing what you did.
I decided to forego the iPhone 6/6+ this year and give the cheaper option a try. I got the One Plus One. I must say the OPO is a nice phone, but I really miss my iPhone!!! I'll wait until the iPhone 6S/6S+ though. Want to save up for the 128 GB version (non-contract)!

From the article: As of last week, 77.6 percent of stores had iPhone 6 units in stock, compared to 56.1 percent two weeks ago...
My guess: they are not readily available in the other ~23% of the stores at the time of this article. 2 weeks ago they were not readily available in ~44% of retail stores.
I've always really liked each of the Apple products I've bought, but I love my gold 64GB iPhone 6 Plus. It's my favorite device by far.
I've seen quite a lot of iPhone 6 (64 GB) in recent weeks on the streets. As an owner of one, I totally love the phone, especially since the battery life per charge is WAY superior to my previous phone, a Samsung Galaxy S III, not to mention running a lot cooler, too.
However, demand is still very strong, so getting the exact model you want is going to be a tad hard.

Like Touch ID with Apple Pay and 64-bit system? Oh forgot, Android don't have one...maybe in...3 years?

Make it look like pos android? No thanks. I love Touch ID and don't mind top/bottom bezels. I don't like asymmetrical look.
Apple has nothing to do with that survey.
As usual people here try to bash Apple over everything
Gene Munster does good ground-level research. He believes in what his eyes and ears tell him...and so do I. For instance, I walked by both an Apple Store and a Microsoft Store in the same mall yesterday (Chandler, AZ). Apple Store was very busy - people at every station, many waiting for a turn. Microsoft Store had 11 customers and 16 employees on the floor. Almost all of the customers were around the X-box display.
One of those "customers" was my 9 year-old special-needs daughter who marched in demanding to see an iPad. When presented with a Surface, she wrinkled her nose and said "Not that one - a REAL one."
Love her. She isn't getting an iPad this year, but she knows what she wants.
Apple will soon be the world's first trillion-dollar company. 70% or so of its revenue comes via the iPhone connection. If I were you, I would not bet that Apple screws that pooch anytime soon.
And, ApplePay will be a VERY large portion of Apple's revenue in about 2 years. That is one of the most forward-thinking products ever introduced to the world. It won't save lives like the polio vaccine, but it WILL be transformative much like the iPod transformed digital music from contraband to mainstream.

Catching up with screen size? Lol! Fandroids are funny
And yeah, iPhone buyers have been so frustrated on the past, but due to not being able to get their hands on new iPhones soon enough because of tge high demand and not due to the screen sizes. Larger screen size are good for some and not so good for some others. Are only a a part of the reason why some may buy the iPhone 6. Apple shines on other areas where Android devices will probably never catch up. But fandroids will be fandroids!
I'd much rather have a larger screen than Touch ID, AP, or 64-bit. I probably would've considered an Iph6 if it was available back in Nov. 2013, but sprung for an Samsung Galaxy s4 instead. I kind of like it this way, as my Ipod Touch 5 is my gaming device, while my gs4 does everything without having battery being sucked down by all that gaming.
And those who wait for more RAM? Frustration will always be there when buying Apple products.
Just got mine, feels great. But none of the phone carriers in AUS have stock of 64gb and 128gb . I'm gonna have to stick with constantly backing up data to the cloud.
. I'm gonna have to stick with constantly backing up data to the cloud.I wonder where Samsung got the idea of a large screen from?

What I love is whenever Apple Pay is mentioned, someone brings up Google Wallet.
Before September 2014, no one who said "Android is better than iPhone" mentioned Google Wallet as a feature. It didn't occur to them to do so. Suddenly now it's really important.

Well, that kind of declaration "my situation or my interpretation of it is way different than what was just said in that actual study there" so how can this be true with a quizzical look, is so extraordinarily constant across the Internet (and outside it), that I had to "snap".
It is the fact we humans seem to have a big difficulty looking seeing beyond our own point of view and its interpretation. On every subject, not just trivial ones like this.
I wasn't about your little Q. So, hey, sorry if it seems that snappy.
