Interesting results. This data contradicts the prevailing GSMarena fandroid ideology that bigger is better.

    AnonD-442781, 05 Oct 2015Its cheaper, and the plus doesn't compare to the note 5. Ph... moreI think adding China to the front only shifted the sales away from HK back into the mainland. But even so, the availability for in-store pick up is still scarce in both locations.

    In the long run it won't matter one way or another.

        Well, because there might be only one iPhone 6s Plus for every four iPhone 6s sold.

          AnonD-247832, 05 Oct 2015Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 laughs at thisXiaomi has properly sized counterparts that are more popular.

            At the end of the day I agree that 4.7 strikes a really good balance and practicality in so many ways. I have 4.3, 130mm max. I specially searched it out when at a the time Nokia took a sudden jolt left in design. The 4.3 has been great, yup, I would contemplate a 4.5 or max 4.7. as its a great compromise. Large shovels have there place sure but overall I suspect the upper mid range is where a lot will sit at. It wasn't so long ago we relished and loved the small Nokia when phones were just great phones and people were not so tied to them like they have to stroke them with affection. We were all a fairly happy bunch. So that said, while fads come and go, I reckon the 4.5 and 7s is a comfortable rest point.
            My 2 cents.

              The interesting thing by this statistics is that the ratio for aPples (huge) phablet over their small phablet (or huge phone) has doubled since the last versions. From about 1:8 to 1:4

              So even among their buyers there is a tendency of more moving away from phone sized devices.

                  Iphone flatter itself. How embarassing. Nothing to compare with other than iphones itself. The world of iphones. So small. As small as a pea.

                      I guess it's because of the price but, many people including me, prefer smaller displays... Even If I had the money, I'd go with the iPhone 6s or any other smartphone between 4.3" and 4.7" displays because I find those sizes perfect for a smartphone... Everything above 4.7" is just too big and unpractical for me and I have above average sized hands...

                              Its cheaper, and the plus doesn't compare to the note 5. Phablets aren't for everyone and their sales are a lot less than normal phones, so its to be expected.

                              Its a shame that whenever sales are mentioned they never say that China was included or that there was more than double the time to pre-order. China had 4 million sales so take that away and total sales are already lower.

                                This is obvious as 6S is cheaper and reasonably-sized. Phablet territory is not everyone's taste, even if it's "just" 5,5''.

                                  or just buy any phone w any OS and just don't install crap on it.
                                  finally, you could buy a feature phone (iPh is like an overpriced feature phone anyway =)) had to say it) - you can't be more secure

                                    Because not everybody choose their cloths based on the size of their phablets..
                                    still everybody prefer smartphones to be between 4.5"-5.2" with height at max max 150mm
                                    most of us at max 145mm

                                        With Stagefright in place and i am even planning to purchase a new phone which OS is more secure ...iOS.........or..........WINDOWS..........or.........ANDROID.
                                        Security is the highest priority
