Wait, do people actually upgrade yearly? I always thought it was hyperbolic

  It's not common (I think average upgrade cycle on iPhone is a little more than 3 1/2 years now, and getting longer every cycle) but it's not unheard of. The iPhone hold value well enough that you can often trade it in at something like a $200 discount and just get the new one. Considering the cost of a battery replacement, it's not the worst value proposition in the world.

  Crazy the ultimate in short term thinking…

  Every year since the first iPhone came out. It's sort of superstition at this point. Not sure what would happen if I broke the streak.
