Thefts of Nokia and Blackberry phones in the county have plummeted, according to data released by Cheshire Constabulary.
Just under one in four mobile phones reported as stolen in 2011 were Blackberry devices and 12.7% were Nokias.
But in 2014 thefts of these phones in the county nose-dived, with only one in 20 stolen made by Blackberry while 6.4% were Nokia models.
iPhones, meanwhile, have been firmly established as the most popular choice, with 49.1 per cent of stolen phones in 2014 being Apple creations.
Samsung phones are also proving desirable to thieves, with 24% of phones stolen in Cheshire last year being Samsungs - up from 12.9% in 2011.
The figures were released to the Chronicle under the Freedom of Information Act.
Out of the 47 UK police forces to whom the request for information was sent, 39 replied with mobile phone theft figures.
