This is no different to the 5/5C situation really (in fact, a clearer differentiation tbh).
The previous years models have always been available since the 3GS was released.
Seems like you're running about 6 years behind the times...?
- roymurdock 11y agoIf you have a product called the Widget v6, and the Widget v6 Plus, then you introduce the Widget v6X and the Widget v6X Plus, it's natural to think that these 4 different product are all versions of one flagship model: Widget v6. Maybe this sort of taxonomy only confuses me?
- abritinthebay 11y agoI don't think that is natural. To think they are related? Sure. They are: the 6S is an evolution of the 6. But it's not like they released the 6, the 6a, and the 6b all the same year. It's quite clear.
- wvenable 11y agoAs abritinthebay said, Apple has been using this taxonomy since 2009 so I'm not sure why you think it's a new strategy now. In a way, you're completely right -- they are all versions of one flagship model. The "S" are always upgraded internals of last years model (the 3GS, 4S, 5S, and now 6S). And plus is a bigger version of that flagship model.
- baby 11y agoThis is true, we are power users so we only think about 6s and 6s plus being the current iphones. But I'm sure a huge amount of people are just as confused as people are confused with the Wii and Wii U
