A week on from the latest iPhone launch, how are adoption rates faring? New research looks at usage rates over the weekend.
Fiksu measured the volume of new device activations 3 days post-release and found the following:
• Adoption of the iPhone 6S is lagging behind adoption of the original iPhone 6 one year ago by almost 40%. After 3 days of sales, iPhone 6S is at 1.1% adoption compared to 1.8% for the iPhone 6 in the same timeframe last year.
• After 3 days of sales, the iPhone 6S Plus is tracking at 0.3% adoption which is, in fact, identical to adoption of the original iPhone 6Plus 3 days post its 2014 launch. This indicates consistent appreciation from people who prefer the larger format device.
