            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.

                  I would guess the 2-year numbers are much lower these days.
