And yet people always want to upgrade to the latest one.
Who are these people? All my friends and family keep phones for 3-5 years. Im the "new phone" guy and I'm on a 3 year schedule
I don't have an iPhone but quite a few people I know are on that plan with Apple where you can upgrade every 12 months: https://www.apple.com/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area so maybe it's region-specific. People do like new shiny tech here.
If they want new tech why get on an iPhone program? They are withholding progress to give a slow trickle over time. I guarantee I could not tell the difference between the last 3 years of iPhones if you put them in front of me.
Status symbol

$3400$9000 Huawei XT? It's like the price of a used carBecause being in the in crowd is more of a status symbol at that level then for things like cars.
