As others have noted, for myself and others I know, the extension of upgrade cycles boils down to:
1. Cost of the phones increasing (especially families of iPhone users, this gets to be absurd expense). 
2: Cost of iPhones increasing makes little sense to most people with diminishing returns (upgraded specs, with increased cost, when older models work fine, is not perceived as value for the money over older models)

In addition to above, I feel the form factor of the X iPhones is less desireable than the 7’s. My 7 still works well and is built to allow for an occasional drop. I wouldn’t feel safe dropping an X.
