With the price of the iPhone X last year, many users preferred to wait for the new iPhones to be released. Particularly the iPhone XR, because it is a more affordable model and which has received positive reviews from the press.
According to new data, it appears that U.S. userskeep their smartphone longer and longer. Several reasons can explain this extension of the renewal period.
According to analysis by Hyla Mobile, a company specializing in the return of used smartphones, an American user now keepshis iPhone about 2.92 years.
This figure is increasing, because two years ago it was2.39 years. Users of iPhones and other smartphones are keeping their devices longer than before.
Two reasons explain this longer smartphone conversation time, before changing to a new model.
First, smartphones are becomingmore and more expensive. There are several high-end models priced above $1,000.
As a result, users keep their smartphone longer, to make it profitable. This is easier with the iPhone, because it is supported for at least 4-5 years by iOS, but this is much less the case with Android.
Second, the gradual abandonmentsmartphones financed by the telephone subscriptionfor two years, notably due to less attractive promotions.
Instead, users prefer to buy their smartphone separately, and choose a more suitable and, above all, cheaper mobile plan.
