Apple's iPhone 5 and second-generation three-year-old iPad 2 are still Apple's most popular devices sold.
The news comes courtesy of app analytics firm Localytics, whose numbers show the iPhone 5 with a slim 27% lead over the iPhone 5S at 25%, while the iPad 2 sits at 29% over the next-closest iPad Mini at 20%
The iPhone 5 was Apple's most popular iPhone before the iPhone 5s came out (which is now Apple's most popular iPhone), but that iPhone 5 has been around for a full year longer. Granted, it was kind-of-sort-of replaced by the iPhone 5C and hasn't seen widespread availability over the past year, but the point still stands.
The iPad 2's dominance stands for a similar reason: Apple sold it for three years as their low-cost iPad option while iterating the top-end over that. While tablet sales growth has slowed recently, the numbers of the iPad 2 and the iPad Mini indicate that customers might just prefer the cheaper tablets.
