Prior to the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it was reckoned that the smaller, 4.7-inch model would greatly outsell its more sizeable counterpart. After all, the phablet market was / is still considered niche in spite of its growing popularity, and given how long iPhone fans had been content with a 4-inch-or-smaller display, the 5.5-inch canvas of the iPhone 6 Plus -- and the sheer size of the device's footprint as a result -- would surely prompt the users towards the standard iPhone 6. But following on from a report last week documenting reservation figures in China, which suggested that the 6 Plus was not just more popular than expected, but actually favored over the smaller variant, it has now emerged that Apple may be switching its production strategy to cope with the unforeseen interest.
