> I think part of it is also that older iPhones still have good processors due to Apple's substantial lead in mobile CPUs. I'm still using the iPhone X I bought at launch. Performance is not an issue at all. Aside from a cracked screen and camera glass, the only real driver for me to replace it is the lightning connector. When they add USB-C I'll probably get a new phone - not before then.
