The source is Counterpoint Research as linked in the article - the 55% figure in the headline is misleading, the statistic is really “55% of new devices shipped”, not total market share.
Yeah iPhone people seem to upgrade about twice as often as the rest of us
got a source for that? iphones tend to last pretty long
Initially anecdotal. But also turns out to be statistically true. www.statista.com/chart/amp/3634/smartphone-upgrades/
not exactly what you said earlier. There's only like a 10% difference in the apple/android groups. So, slightly more iPhone users upgrade every two years compared to android users.
This data is also about 8 years old but I couldn't find any newer
I would guess the 2-year numbers are much lower these days.

2015 may as well be 1000BC when it comes to smart phones 🤣

Do you think its iPhone users upgrading then?
Are those the people who have apple like a 99% satisfaction rating, and gave themselves a 95% one? I think I heard of them on Linus tech tips LMAO
