I’m not really sure whether that’s Apple’s goal in the first place. Realistically the vast majority of people is not going to buy a new phone every year. Apple is not selling the iPhone to a handful crazy devotees, those are (at least by now) clearly a tiny minority. Consequently it doesn’t seem wise to optimize everything for one-year upgrade cycles.
