iPhone owners aren't upgrading to iPhone X due to price, lack of exciting features, survey...
agree 100% ... I bought the 8 after getting $175 for my 6plus. couldn't justify the extra$ for AppleCare and the price was just too much for me. I keep my phones now for three years too and while the 8 is basically a perfect phone for me the X would have been nice. Also have early 2011 MacBook Pro 17 and after putting in 1tb sad (Samsung SSD 850 PRO 1TB) it's like a brand new computer ... hopefully won't have to buy a new one for awhile.djames4242 said:My experience mirrors that of this survey, although like K2kw says, they really should break it down by how old those existing phones are. I held on to my 5S for three years before buying the 7. I held on to my 4 for three years before that. My 7 is an extremely capable phone, and my fingerprint works just fine. The X has a gorgeous screen that I drool over, but I just can't pay $1150 right now to get a gorgeous screen.
If carriers still subsidized I might upgrade every two years, but now that we're stuck with the full cost of the phone, it's just too difficult to justify the expense. I even keep my computers longer than most - My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 and probably won't be upgraded until next year. My Mac Mini is mid-2011 and is finally being replaced in the next month or two with an iMac, and that's only because I need a quad-core for running multiple VMs.
