Regardless of cost, nearly half of iPhone users will upgrade to the new 2018 models introduced today

“It’s being report today that data suggests that Apple’s iPhone announcements today is as good as an order for over 42 percent of current iPhone users, who plan to upgrade no matter the price,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.

“Stats from Statista show that despite the cost of today’s announced iPhones, over 42 percent of current iPhone owners in the United States are planning to upgrade to whatever Apple announces today,” Purcher reports. “About 17 percent will trade in their current model for last year’s iPhone X, and just about 16 percent will opt for the iPhone 8.”

  1. From what i have been able to gather… there are aprox 600 -700 million iPhone users out there

    If the above estimate is anywhere near acurate.. thats 250-to 300 million units for the coming cycle… or should we say SuperCycle

    🚀🚀🚀

    1. The estimate is not accurate. I believe there is a breaking point when an item becomes just too expensive, especially when on a subsidy it’s linked to a junk, overpriced plan.

      The jury is put on volume…

      1. As expensive as they are, and the fact that my phone will NEVER be my primary ‘computing’ source, my 6+from way back when is going strong and I’ve no intention of upgrading any time soon.

  2. People are sheep, and that’s how Apple stays in business. I remember the days when they actually made the best tools. Funny how it wasn’t until they descended into mediocrity that people responded.
