Why don't people buy new iPhones? The answer is simple, because the one they have works well for them.

Many times we complicate our lives thinking about the reasons that can lead a user or users to think they don't need to buy the latest iPhone and the answer is really simple as shown by some surveys or studies carried out directly with these users.

The reason people don't buy the latest iPhone 8, 8Plus, or iPhone X is simply because the model they have works well and they see no need to spend the money on a new iPhone model.

A recent study published in Barron's, and made by PiperJaffray analyst Michael Olson, clearly shows the reason why users who currently have an iPhone do not want to change to a superior model, and this is none other than that they are satisfied with the operation of the same, responding with a "works well" 44% of the more than 1.500 respondents.

This would be the main reason among those surveyed by Olson, the following would be that Apple's device is too expensive, with 31% being the second most voted answer and in third place with 17% we find other reasons. It is curious to see how even the size of the screen on this new iPhone X, which is really large, does not seem enough for the respondents who respond to the survey saying they want a larger screen, they take 8% of the total.

Having such recent rumors about the new Apple devices, in the case of the iPhone especially, do some damage to those who have a current model and do not have the need to change every year. In this sense, it is somewhat complicated for Apple since it stops selling due to these rumors about the new 6,5 ″ iPhone X Plus that is said to hit the market this year or the 6,1-inch model with an LCD screen, but ultimately What affects the sales of new iPhones the most is undoubtedly the proper functioning of iPhones in general. Today They can be seen running smoothly iPhone 5s or 6 without any problem -beyond battery changes- which is why many people keep them without the need for change.

    Do not invent people do not buy the new iPhones because the X is absurdly expensive and only brings the news that has been on the market for 4 years well if the faceid brings a novelty that only serves to unlock the iPhone as does the Touch ID well if for something else for the nonsense of the emoticons, those that have an affordable price bone, the iPhone 8 has the same design for 4 years and does not bring hardly any news, by the way that the previous iPhones are going well let me tell you that it is not like that Most of them have screwed up their iPhone with iOS 11, the worst system and with the most bug in Apple's history

      I have the same opinion. The iphone can work ... but well that's another story. Spending 1000 euros on a phone because the old man has some "failures" is difficult to justify. If they do not innovate, no matter how much mobile X, XI or whatever it is, it is useless. At least for me.

    Well, I think similar to Jordi, iPhones usually have a fairly long useful life, in fact in my family environment my former iPhone 4s that I acquired in 2011, my former iPhone 5s that I acquired in 2013 and my former iPhone 6s that I acquired in 2015 and except for the 4s the rest work with iOs11…. Did they go better with your original iOs? without a doubt, but let's say that to be 6-4-2 years old they work really well, some with 4 updates of iOs behind them.

    It is clear that Apple has gone out of its way by putting the most "basic" iPhone X at € 1159, but I understand that people who wanted to update their phone have not given up the X for the price, since a 8gb iPhone 256 comes out for the not inconsiderable figure of € 979 (€ 1089 if it is the 8 plus). The problem is that people begin to see that iPhones work well for many years, the need to update the terminal ends up being more for personal tastes than for real necessity of a malfunction of the terminal, as there are cases and cases.

    There is also the possibility of NOT updating the OS of the phones, people want their iPhone of 2-3-4 years running with the latest iOs without suffering any kind of problem, they even want the phone to work better…. solution: Don't update iOS. You can live perfectly with iOs 7 currently (so I have my iPad Air) for the use that I give it, it works the same as when I bought it, neither better nor worse (2013). On the other hand, an iPad Mini 2 (same hardware as my Air1) with iOs11 feels slow and a lot rougher, so you have to know when to update.

    In short, nothing is black or white, but in general terms Apple has a higher duration in phone issues than the competition and that means that there are people who do not see the need to update every 2 years and begin to value extending the life of its terminals ……

    I am with Jordi, I currently have an Iphone 7 that is on its way at 2 years old and it works like the first day, if I love the Iphone X but it does not bring so much improvement to make me change ..., face id, those emojis, everything the front of the screen…. You add the price and I still see a silly change if mine goes well, in a couple of years it is very possible that it will change

    I wait for 9 which will be a mix of 8 and X

    Without trying to justify anything, the price of the X is high because we say it is a special version X anniversary, it did not even play by number, the 8 yes

    If the prices of the iPhone are exorbitant, something really happens, that makes them slow, my i6plus is not the same as when I buy it, it is much slower, these Apple already have their market built, and they sell to those who want to sell, like this If I want one, checkout, and wait for an opportunity to acquire
