Just yesterday Apple announced during their earnings call that they had managed to sell a whopping 74.5 million iPhone units in Q1 2015. Now we’re sure many of you guys are wondering how are the sales split between the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and some of Apple’s older models like the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
Unfortunately Apple did not provide us with a breakdown of those numbers, but according toApple’s CEO Tim Cook, it seems that for the most part the iPhone 6 proved to be the most popular device. According to Cook, “Obviously
to sell 74.5 million devices, they were all popular. Both did
incredibly well. We’re really proud of them, along with the iPhone 5s
and 5c.”
This
is actually pretty interesting as it lines up with initial sales of the
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus where the former was in the lead. It was presumed
that this was because of the latter’s general unavailability and long
waits that could have prompted customers to go for the iPhone 6 instead,
but given that it has been several months now, we guess the 4.7-inch
form factor is preferred, plus it is cheaper too.
Cook
also mentioned that there were some geographical preferences too in
which some regions preferred the smaller iPhone 6, while others leaned
towards the larger iPhone 6 Plus. While he did not mention any
particular markets, it has been found that the iPhone 6 Plus isslightly more favored in Asian countries.
