NEW YORK: The 30 days sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has showed the different results of people choice. For years, Apple’s fans were asking a bigger device and the company delivered the 5.5 inches Plus version. But the iPhone 6 original version, the 4.7 inch handset, has been the more popular choice of fans.

According to the results for sales of the first month, the iPhone 6 beats the iPhone 6 Plus in sales in 3 to 1 ratio. The original model accounts for 68 percent of all sales in September and early October, while the bigger iPhone 6 Plus accounts for 24%. The rest of the sales belong to the older models such as the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C.
According to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, the company behind the analysis, the larger models are more popular and the average capacity is 48 GB. Some experts believe that the statistics are the result of Apple removing the 32 GB version from its range.
