The iPhone 6 Plus may account for a higher percentage of iPhone 6 shipments than expected, according to a DigiTimes report.

Judging from recent shipments of analog ICs to Foxconn and Pegatron, sources tell the site that it appears as though 60% of buyers are choosing the larger iPhone 6 Plus.

Shipments of IC parts to the two makers were almost at even initially, but Foxconn appears to have received more shipments recently, the sources indicated. The higher-than-expected sales of the iPhone 6 Plus may harm the sale of Apple's iPad mini which has a display size of 7.9-inch that is close to the 5.5-inch display used by the iPhone 6 Plus, commented the sources.

Did you choose the larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus over the 4.7-inch iPhone 6? Let us know in the comments!

I like smaller cars because they are nimble, easy to park, good on gas and easy to drive. But I drive and own larger cars for the space and capacity. Sure they are harder to park, but the passengers have more room. Same with the iPhone 6 Plus. It's not the phone for everyone, but it's the phone of choice if you need more screen space. Also, after having it for a week, I can say the battery life is superb.

I like big cars because it's easy to,load and stuff more in, sure it's hard to park but you don't worry about 2 cars to carry and follow.

The increased size is not a problem. It still fits in my pocket and the larger screen makes for easier reading and a better video viewing experience. The increased battery life alone makes it well worth the upgrade.

I went for the Plus. Using it to post this comment having just received it today.

After being in dubio for some time, looking at the difference between the 2, I finally decided to go for the Plus. I wanted to really see and feel that I have a new iPhone and the Plus absolutely meets that need. With this iPhone, Bigger is definately better! I love it!

This is definitely not what the usage data suggest. Look at https://mixpanel.com/trends/#report/iphone_6/from_date:-29,report_unit:day,to_date:0

Those numbers aren't accurate because there is a 3-4 week to get a purchased iPhone 6 Plus.

I luv the 6plus! More than I ever expected.

Eric - October 3, 2014 at 7:48pm

I am still waiting on my iPhone 6 plus to arrive! Hopefully I will be pleased with the size, according to some of the comments, I should be.

Mohammadsayyas - October 3, 2014 at 7:44pm

I love the bigger screen. Just iPhone 6 plus

gamerscul9870 - October 3, 2014 at 6:55pm

Bet it ships to replace the wannabe junk that nowadays serves no purpose (Samsung)

I'm too glad with my i6. It just fit perfect in my Pocket and, for my work (industrial Designer) I carry my iPad Mini RD with a fisical keyboard case.

justabrake - October 3, 2014 at 5:20pm

Neither still have my 5s

My girlfriend has always been more than happy with my six. It's all about how you use it

Techno - October 3, 2014 at 4:00pm

But to satisfy her craving, on weekends she looks for my 6 plus to fill the void.

gavinrandell - October 3, 2014 at 5:26pm

^^ Hahah!!!!

fairichi - October 3, 2014 at 3:49pm

I got the six but I wish I had of got the 6 plus. I'll just have to wait for the 6s plus I guess.

NoGoodNick - October 3, 2014 at 3:43pm

Just received the Plus I order the first day (I couldn't place an order initially and had to wait). Despite what I feared, the 6 Plus fits fine in a shirt pocket (it sticks out of the top a little bit, but it hardly justifies shoving it in your jeans pocket). In short, it's just functions just like a phone, except screen is big enough to display iPad graphics and the camera is vastly superior to the other smartphones. Just think, can you imagine how many would have sold by now if Apple had enough on hand to sell?

Gavin Randell - October 3, 2014 at 3:52pm

I keep it in my jeans pocket. That's normal use for me and it's been totally fine. Love the phone!

Steve Jobs does not approve of this.

Gavin Randell - October 3, 2014 at 3:42pm

lol

gamerscul9870 - October 3, 2014 at 9:25pm

what choice would you have had. Would you let users switch to android just for size all because you didn't make it big enough or are you going to thank us for doing such a good job in the newest record fast selling phones yet?

stevenlacross - October 3, 2014 at 3:40pm

My gf was originally going to get the 6, then we went into AT&T to look at the demo units and she changed her mind and is now going to get the 6 plus... As soon as they get them in stock

Gavin Randell - October 3, 2014 at 3:41pm

It's amazing. She will love it!

gamerscul9870 - October 3, 2014 at 9:27pm

your name is irony. You said you got the 6 plus yet your name sounds like no one involved in your family would want one.

iHA69 - October 3, 2014 at 3:38pm

I'm glad with my 6Plus.

iHA69 - October 3, 2014 at 3:38pm

Thank god. This app is finally updated

Gavin Randell - October 3, 2014 at 3:40pm

Agreed!! What a difference!

matt - October 3, 2014 at 4:02pm

App is awesome!
