More buyers are picking Apple Inc.’s iPhone 6 Plus over the iPhone 6 in this debut weekend, according to a Piper Jaffray Cos. survey, and supplies of the larger model already are selling out in some U.S. stores.
The iPhone 6 Plus is “more popular,” Gene Munster, an analyst for Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis, said in a report today. The survey of 386 Apple customers waiting in line in Minneapolis and New York yesterday found that 57 percent intended to buy the iPhone 6 Plus, he said. Munster said he had expected buyers to split 50-50 between the models this weekend and shift more in favor of the smaller phone over time.
