The Numbers
21 PERCENT
According to market research group Kantar, phablets accounted for 21 percent of smartphone sales during the first quarter of 2015, up from just 6 percent a year ago. This increase is due in part to the iPhone 6 Plus, which represented over 44 percent of phablet sales.
1 MILLION
Consumer trends firm Slice Intelligence estimated that nearly 1 million people in the US pre-ordered the Apple Watch on April 10—that's more than last year's Android Wear sales put together!
