iPhone 6s

Apple was resisting larger screens for a long time until Android phones began to dominate the markets with large screens. The first iPhone that was then released with a huge 4.7-inch display is the iPhone 6s. This improved model of the beloved iPhone 6 rose gold became top-selling rapidly and sold 124.5 million pieces globally.

iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 is also one of the huge screen wonders. It was released at a time when large-screen android phones were beginning to gain popularity and it was the first Apple released like this. The screen size had expanded from 3.5 to 4 inches with the iPhone 5. The phone was smaller and lighter because it had an aluminium body but it was taller. It appeared smaller in your hands but was attractive. The iPhone 5 sold more than two million devices within 24 hours of pre-order sales and within three days the sales reached five million units.

iPhone 5s

There were barely any changes in iPhone 5s. Many thought that nothing had changed. However, while the iPhone 5s largely performed the same functions as the iPhone 5, it was faster, brighter, and smarter. With sales of nearly 163.7 million units, the iPhone 5s is the second-best-selling Apple smartphone despite menial upgrades.
