Apple iPhone replacement cycle slowing, Toni Sacconaghi says

referring to Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a note to investors on Friday that people are holding on to their iPhones longer than ever before, which may spell trouble for Apple as consumers upgrade to new models less often. "Replacement cycles are elongating ... a lot," Sacconaghi said, noting that people are using their iPhones longer because of Apple's battery replacement program, changes in carrier subsidies and higher prices, among other reasons. "Our customers are holding on to their older iPhones a bit longer than in the past," Cook said. "When you paired this with the macroeconomic factors particularly in emerging markets, it resulted in iPhone revenue that was down 15 percent from last year." Sacconaghi said 16 percent of that base will buy a new iPhone this year and that Apple's fiscal 2020 "offering is unlikely to stimulate an acceleration in iPhone replacement cycles."

The Apple iPhone XR Review: A Different Display Leads To Brilliant Battery Life

referring to The latest generation of iPhones have been out for a couple of months now – we've extensively reviewed the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max shortly after their official release. Back when I first laid my hands on the iPhone XR at Apple's launch event, one of the things noted was that I believed the iPhone XR was going to become the most popular choice among Apple's current smartphone generation. From a design perspective, the iPhone XR's back is a bit more similar to the iPhone 8 than it is the iPhone XS. XS, XR, XS MaxXS, XR, XS MaxAnother point of discussion is the size of the iPhone XR.
