iPhone Upgrade Cycle Slows as Customers Perceive Lack of Innovation
- bradknowles 7y agoFor me, it’s a combination of insufficiently advanced new features, combined with a loss of fingerprint ID and forced switching to Face ID. I absolutely do not want the latter under any circumstances whatsoever, while I do find the former to be useful and desirable in some cases — just not for unlocking the phone. I don’t mind if the device is capable of Face ID — I can always just completely ignore that. But if it doesn’t have fingerprint ID, then I’m not interested. In that case, should I be in a situation where I am forced to buy a new device, then I will buy a refurb older device that can do fingerprint ID instead of a new one that can’t. And so, I wait.
