Yup. Same reason tablet sales are slowing... Though at a slower pace.

  Only because tablets are a new medium, with time their upgrade cycle will slow more.

    I wonder if phones will start to go the same way. My 2.5 year old iPhone 5 is going fine apart from needing a battery replacement and Apple helpfully trying to stop me using an ad blocker because you know, you should really have a 5s or higher for that (bastards).

      They're going to slow down just as tablets are. PCs have been around a long time in tech-time compared to tablets and modern smart phones. Just as computers no longer need to be upgraded every couple years, tablets are no longer upgraded every year or two. Phones are getting to that point as well with the faster CPUs and faster storage. A mid-range phone now has the same specs as a top tier phone from a year ago. As for ad-blocking on your iPhone 5, you could just install an alternate browser that supports extensio... oh, right. :(
