While iPhone 5S only makes up twenty-six percent, iPhone 5C got 18 percent and 10 percent for iPhone 6 Plus.

Numerous competitors including LG and Google have also launched their phablets recently. Nexus 6, made by Motorola, launched last October while LG has announced the LG G3 Stylus last August.
