Every three or four years seems to be the sweet spot now, especially when that aligns with carrier incentives. I think that’s the iPhone business model now, get 25–33% of iPhone users to upgrade each year.

    It was very different back in the early days, when the phone was $500. At four times the price, even with carrier incentives and payment plans, I just don’t see the point.

    But, as I said, Apple really builds them to last now, and the software really supports the hardware for quite some time. Even the upcoming version of iOS will still support the iPhone 12.
