If you look at the share of people holding on to their phones, more people are holding on for 3+ years. It’s not a comparison between 14 and 15, but rather 11/1

- ryandrake 2y agoI was looking for a new phone to finally replace my 7, and considered 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Honestly, I couldn't tell you why I would go for one of them over any others. All I know is that the older ones are cheaper and they'll probably drop software support for the older ones sooner than the newer ones, but they're pretty much identical when it comes to what I use my phone for (making calls, occasionally browsing the web).
- refurb 2y agoIt all depends on what you use the phone for, but I have an iPhone 11 that I have no intention of replacing any time soon. I have an iPhone 15 for work and I was like "meh". But I get it - some people use it for things that are much more intensive and the difference is noticeable. But for me, it's mostly messaging, a few travel/shopping apps, and occasional Safari use.

- naravara 2y agoUntil the Apple Intelligence features were announced the only improvements I really cared about between models is the camera. Yes it’s better in a host of other ways, but not really things that would drive me to buy a new phone. I basically only upgraded because the battery capacity had degraded to the point where it couldn’t hold a charge for a full day anymore. I expect that’s the line that most people are holding out for now.
