I'm quite surprise on the popularity of the 6+. There are so many threads on here about how difficult it is to decide between 6 and 6+ (myself included). I was actually expecting the 6 to be sold out before the 6+, or at most the demand will be 50/50. I was not expecting the ship date for the 6+ already slipped to 3-4 weeks, while the 6 are still available for launch day.
I think it will be very popular but I think Apple will always keep 2 sizes minimum. Too much money to be left on the table if they didn't. Having multiple sizes allows them to get every purse and wallet out there.
I would guess it's a mix of two things - the 6+ does seem very popular (though MacRumors is probably not a reflection of the general population) but there are also a lot less available (for whatever reason).
So it's not like they started with equal amounts of the 6 and 6+ and the 6+ has way outsold the 6, I highly doubt that's true. I would guess there are probably ten 6's available for every 6+ at this point. And I would also guess that people who line up next Friday morning are going to find carrier and retail stores have little, if any, 6+'s to dole out.
Like with each previous edition, I went big. iPhone 6 Plus, AT&T, 128 GB, Space Gray. I dislike even thinking about how much space that I have left. I carry thousands of pictures, songs and lots of apps.
Nice! I doubt you will be upgrading for years![]()
Judging by that poll, it looks like Apple's storage scam worked to perfection, lots of people plopping down the extra $100 for 64gb. Present company included!
If only that was true. However, since I have an 11-year-old daughter she gets the 5s and I move up to the 6+. When the 7 comes out, she'll be encouraging me to move up. Hey, it's a good excuse.
With how difficult the ordering process was, it could possibly be not what's popular but what's available for delivery on the 19th.![]()
Lol! Daddy's little girl knows how to play the game!![]()
Surprised to see iPhone 6 Plus 5.5", space gray, 128 GB in 3rd place. Doesn't bode well for my pre-order shipment getting moved up lol
