Analyst: Average iPhone upgrade cycle now lasts four years, up from three in 2018
[2019-02-08 20:42:01]It seems fair to say that since the release of iPhone 6, A-series processor updates have been more for future-proofing purposes rather than present necessity for the average user. As a result, biennial upgrades, let alone annual iPhone swaps, became increasingly rare — demonstrated by ever shrinking Apple Store lines proceeding a new launch.
