Report: Apple's iPhone 6s is four times more popular than the iPhone 6s Plus

According to a new report from Localystics, the iPhone 6s was four times more popular than the iPhone 6s Plus in the first week of commercial availability. The report claims that the iPhone 6s now accounts for about 1.5% of all active iPhones, while the iPhone 6s Plus is listed with a share of 0.4% of the iPhone pie.

Although it's definitely not surprising to see that the iPhone 6s is selling much better compared to its larger and pricier sibling, it's worth noting that the second-coming of the Apple phablet appears to be doing much better compared to the original version in terms of first-week sales. Last year, after one week of availability, the iPhone 6 Plus accounted for about 0.3% of all active iPhones, down significantly compared to the 2.4% share of the iPhone 6.

At this point, it should be noted that while the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus adoption rates have dropped compared to those of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, this doesn't mean that fewer units have been shipped. The reason for the discrepancy in numbers between the two iPhone generations comes from the fact that there are simply much more iPhones currently out there compared to a year ago, following the phenomenal sales success of the iPhone 6 series throughout the last four quarters.
