Apple fanboys do not trust Fablets

Too long taking the Nintendo

Apple has a slight problem in that it has programmed its Apple fanboys to distrust fablets.

For ages while the rest of the world was using fablets instead of tablets, Apple told its fanboys, and the Tame Apple Press, that no one wanted them this big. Apple fanboys were programmed to mock those who were using them.

Now Apple has woken up to the fact that it was completely wrong and people do want Fablets it is having a hard time convincing its fanboys to buy its iPhone 6 plus.

New research. AppLovin, a mobile advertising firm, estimates that the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 accounts for 80 percent of new iPhones in use globally, with the 5.5-inch screen iPhone 6 plus taking the remaining share.

The firm, which processes 25 billion ad requests daily, looked at the high volume of data to ascertain its estimate. "Since interaction and usage differences between the 6 and 6 Plus on our network are negligible, it`s fair to estimate that roughly one in five new iPhones sold is an iPhone 6 Plus," AppLovin said in a blog post on its website.

AppLovin does have some problems when it comes to interpreting its own figures. One in five is a terrible result, but it seems to think the figures are good.

In the real world, IDC expects phablet shipments are even expected to top 318 million units next year, surpassing the 233 million estimate for tablets.

However IDC does give a clue as to why Apple’s phablets are not doing well. Apparently it is a US thing to own a combination of PCs, tablets, and smartphones, in many places the smartphone - regardless of size - will be the one connected device of choice," IDC wrote in a recent report.
