iPhone 7 Plus is Most Popular 'Plus' Model Apple Has Released

I went from iPhone 6s to iPhone 7 Plus. I would never go back to such a small phone.
No skinny jeans for me.
But I do need a rugged case, Lifeproof Fre, Otterbox Defender, etc. And the Plus models get huge in those cases, so no bezels would be a big help.If these numbers are correct, Timmy owes a lot of taxes! Should have kept your mouth shut.

I'll have to look into that. Maybe there is something reasonably priced, I trash work clothes at times.

Soon the iPhone will be made in the US.
I tried the regular 7 a few days ago, I couldn't do it. Resolution , battery life , and camera are the reasons why I went back. The size isn't that bad for me either. The beauty of options though. I'm glad there's two options, everyone has a choice.

But would it be as popular if you made a 4.7" phone with the same features? I know I'm not the only one with gripes about how Apple doesn't provide the same features in its smaller handsets. One thing I respect about google is both sized Pixel phones have the same core features and cameras.
Pretty obvious why the 7 plus is would be more popular than the 6s plus it actually had a useful new feature with the dual camera and cool new all black colours.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist

Let's get real here....the plus model is the only iPhone that offers HD quality. The regular models don't even offer this. Most other phones by other manufacturers are far beyond HD on large screen phones (some even 4k now) and had HD as a minimum on smaller ones. That's how far behind Apple is on this issue.
I really don't like the plus. It's a pain to design for, so most apps are just blown up versions of the 4.7" layout. Sure, 4" was cramped if you're gonna read articles on it all day, but for typical use, there's no doubt that it's the ideal size. I'm a big guy, but even I can't reach navigation buttons on the 4.7" with one hand.
I ordered my black 7+ from Apple online store on December 29th and received it next day, less than 24 hours. Couldn't believe it.
Kudos to Apple for the supply chain logistic optimization. They could easily beat Amazon if they want to become an internet retailer.
You make it sound like that's bad thing? Remember..people want a bigger screen! Not a bigger phone!
Or your probably one of those guys who chooses the bulky Xbox original controller over Xbox 360 controller?
I tend to agree, I have many folks at my company that prefer the smaller size SE compared to the other iPhones. As for me, I like the feel of the SE but I prefer a bigger size for my eyes and makes web searches more bearable.
I wish Apple could or would make the 4.7" and 5.5" iPhones with the same features and just let the customer decide REALLY which one would outsell the other. Why does the bigger screen model have to have more features? Let it be the same and let the customer then decide on their preferred size. no brainer!
Unprotected, hm!
Is that an iPhone 7 plus in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I was about to give up myself when I was paying my bill at a T-Mobile kiosk and they surprisingly had a 256GB jet black 7+. I'd spent months calling around my city and other cities hours away from me. It's crazy how things work out sometimes.
There are many factors at play here.
Many people who got the iPhone 6 are only just now able to upgrade (due to contracts or 24-month installment plans) and many of them probably didn't want to make a huge jump to the huge phone right away and end up hating it. Then they got used to it, tried the larger phone more, wanted that, and got that when they could upgrade. That sucks how it went for me. I wanted to make conservative decisions now so I would be able to make better decisions later. Pretty much determine for sure if the big phone is too big, if what I have is just right.
Also, the note 7 debacle. That's the phablet crowd. Many of those people got turned away to the other hot phablet at the time, the iPhone 7 Plus.
There's also battery life. That's my main reason for getting the plus.

The non plus phone is way too tiny. I was so glad to get a plus. I would abandon apple before getting a small iPhone.
Weren't there only about 3 million Galaxy Note 7's out in the world when the recall happened?
So even if every single Galaxy Note 7 was replaced with an iPhone (it wasn't)... the most it could have been was 3 million out of Apple's 78 million iPhone last quarter.
Sure... Samsung's battery situation might have sold some iPhones... but it wasn't the primary reason for Apple's "record breaking sales"
So when the heck are they going to put the same features and specs in the smaller phone to compare apple to apple (pun intended), instead of apple to oranges?
