Over one third of new handsets shipped over the last three months featured a display of five inches or more — that's a 369% jump in terms of demand based on the same period in 2013.
As well as absolute numbers — an incredible 279.4 million handsets shipped over the first quarter of 2014 — the latest report form research and analyst firm Canalys also breaks down the shipments by screen size. And if, as the company claims, the demand for bigger screens is rocketing, Apple will soon be at a serious disadvantage compared to many of its premium Android rivals.
