I've seen quite a few iPhone 6, & 6s around and those devices are 7, 6 years old respectively. Its not too much different to the car industry, you will always have a class of people who like to chop and change, they may be more the enthusiast market, but many will just use it until it dies or becomes an issue and repairing it isn't worth it. In my circles buying a new iPhone every 2 years is fast becoming a thing of the past
