iPhone 6 Plus Owners Consume Double the Data of iPhone 6 Owners

According to a report from Citrix, owners of bigger devices typically consume more data then those who own smaller screened devices. This holds true when comparing iPhone 6 Plus users to iPhone 6 users, says the marketing firm. While it makes sense that a bigger screen such as the iPhone 6 Plus would consume more data, Citrix thinks differently. They believe users consume more data because they treat the iPhone 6 Plus as a tablet, streaming more video content and playing more games. The 2x data consumption difference may turn some users off. As most carriers are charging for data on a per-gigabyte basis. Doubling your data may mean doubling your cell phone bill. The firm also mentions that iPhone 6 Plus owners consume 10x more data than those who own an iPhone 3GS.

Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with KGI Securities told AppleInsider the next generation -- dubbed \'iPhone 6s\' -- will feature an improved and more reliable Touch ID sensor that will “offer a better and safer Apple Pay user experience by reducing reading errors.” “We think the new iPhone, expected to launch in the third quarter of 2015, will be equipped with an upgraded Touch ID module, with which Apple intends to offer a better and safer Apple Pay user experience with reduced reading errors,” reads the analyst note. “We therefore raise our fiscal 2015 shipments of Touch ID module by 12.4 percent to 262 million sets, boosted by Apple Pay and new iPhone models.” Asymco predicted earlier this morning that Apple will ship as many as 320 million iOS devices throughout 2015, with or without Touch ID. The Touch ID sensor will remain in the home button. Regardless of prior patent filings of an on-screen software Touch ID sensor filed by Apple. “Though Apple has filed patents for the integration of Touch ID and touch panel, this isn’t likely to bear fruit near term as complex algorithms and sapphire cover lens are also required,” he said. “We therefore don’t see any impact on supply chain momentum.”
