When we buy a phone, we can use it for years. However, after a maximum of 4-5 years, the real need for replacement arises. So, what is this replacement rate like on the Android and iPhone side? User of which platform? Switch to a new device faster? The study by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) sought an answer to this question.

The results showed which Android and iOS users refresh their phones more often. Android users 57% This means that more than half of them have a telephone Replaced in less than 2 years On the iPhone side, this rate is was 34%. This showed that Android users switched phones more quickly.

Only 21% of Android users have been using their phone for more than three years

Of course, this was not the only thing that was investigated. CIRP also looked at how long users used their phones. results, only 21% Phones of Android users more than 3 years He showed that he used it. On the iPhone side 32% There was a rate.

This is completely understandable. Android phones, after all devices from every segment Contains. There are low spec phones at very cheap prices, and there are also top tier flagships. It is very difficult to use affordable phones for years. In addition, because they are purchased at a low price, it can be easier for the user to renew them in a short time. Apple, on the other hand, produces all flagship models except the SE model. Therefore, it is very normal for Android not to be used for a long time.

However, we should not forget the advantages of Apple. It has shown that iPhones can retain their value for years in many parts of the world, including our country. This does not force people to change. Also Apple’s support for many Android phones It can provide updates for a longer period of time Let’s also add. We can see that this could take up to 7 years. While such an approach exists with giants like Samsung, it doesn’t exist with most other brands that produce Android phones.
