According to the latest Digitimes report, the 6 iPhone Plus you would be getting better results than expected. The data, which comes from sources close to the companies that produce both the 6-inch iPhone 5,5 Plus and the 6-inch iPhone 4,7, Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron Technology, put the figure at a 60% of total shipments the percentage corresponding to the largest model.
Apple has re-released two models of its iPhone simultaneously. After the iPhone 5c failure Last year, few were betting on a similar strategy this year, there was talk of different release dates for both versions. Finally it has not been like that, and those of Cupertino unveiled the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus at the same time and both they were launched the same day in the different markets. Although there are contradictory information and we will have to wait for the firm to pronounce itself officially, if it does, it is time to evaluate how each one is working.
The data contained in the report Digitimes that concerns us, do not coincide with those offered by other sources, even so, we must bear them in mind since the figures come from people close to the production process in Asia. Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron Technology, two of Apple's regular partners, have once again been in charge of this process. This time they have divided the work, Foxconn produces the iPhone 6 Plus and Pegatron the iPhone 6.
These sources say that both companies received from the beginning, similar amounts of integrated circuits (CI) for mounting the devices. However, recent shipments are uneven, and Foxconn has received more units of this component. They say that shipments to this company represent 60% of the total, while Pegatron has kept 40%, which would directly lead to higher sales.
What about the iPad mini?
The truth is that our country is the clearest example, the iPhone 6 Plus is the most demanded by users from day one. This leaves us a complicated situation for the iPad mini, since the sizes are too similar, 7,9 vs 5,5 inches, something that the source itself has confirmed. Apple has decided to respond in this way to the growth of phablets, which have eaten part of the market for smaller tablets. We will see if the play favors them or they are harmed since many users will now only buy one device.
