iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are still the most-used iOS devices

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/iphone-5-and-ipad-2-still-most-used-ios-devices' title="iPhone 5 and iPad 2 are still the most-used iOS devices"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2012/11/ipad_4_ipad_mini_iphone_5_black.jpg?itok=EX-4GY-P' />[/url]</p> <p>Apple's last-generation iPhone 5 (http://www.imore.com/iphone-5) and second-generation three-year-old iPad 2 (http://www.imore.com/ipad-2) are still Apple's most popular devices sold. The news comes courtesy of app analytics firm Localytics, whose numbers show the iPhone 5 with a slim 27% lead over the iPhone 5s (http://www.imore.com/iphone-5s) at 25%, while the iPad 2 sits at 29% over the next-closest iPad Mini (http://www.imore.com/ipad-mini) at 20%.</p> <!--break--> <p>There are two distinct reasons for each set of numbers. The iPhone 5 was Apple's most popular iPhone before the iPhone 5s came out (which is now Apple's most popular iPhone), but that iPhone 5 has been around for a full year longer. Granted, it was kind-of-sort-of replaced by the iPhone 5c (http://www.imore.com/iphone-5c) and hasn't seen widespread availability over the past year, but the point still stands.</p> <p>The iPad 2's dominance stands for a similar reason: Apple sold the darn thing for three years as their low-cost iPad option while iterating the top-end over that. While tablet sales growth has slowed recently, the numbers of the iPad 2 and the iPad Mini (whose price was reduced to $299 with the introduction of of Retina Display version) indicate that customers might just prefer the cheaper tablets.</p> <p>Of course, with the iPhone 6 (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6) due out in the very near future and ready to unleash pent-up demand for a larger-screened iPhone, there's a very strong chance that iPhone chart will look very different in a year's time. Who's looking to get an iPhone 6?</p> <p>Source: Localytics (http://info.localytics.com/blog/iphone-5-and-ipad-2-still-dominates)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26815"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3e420092/sc/15/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
