Correction: they never innovated. They always used existing hardware.

It took apple 20+ years to allow people to move their homescreen icons how they want - will it be another 20-30 years before they allow people to use icon packs and homescreen widgets? 40 years for a custom launcher? 50 years for full NFC support? It took the EU to slap apple silly into finally using USB-C in iphones when everyone else got on that ages ago! I could install anything I wanted from wherever with Java, Symbian, Windows and Android phones since day1 - the EU once again has to force apple into allowing customers to do that - and even then apple fights tooth and nail over it! It really is ridiculous, when you think about how backwards iphones are vs just about anything else...

So people are upgrading from the XS to the 15 and the differences are much larger. They also sell Macs, iPads, watches, AirPods and lots of other things. In total there are 1.4 billion people using 2.2 billion active devices. Net new they sell around 150 million active devices per year. That's just the sales side. They also innovate on the cost side. They haven't paid a utility bill in years. They produce their own renewable electricity. Not only is it better for the environment it saves them 10s of millions per year plus they sell the surplus power they produce. With 2.2 billion devices even small changes in efficiency result in large savings. It takes R&D to make it happen.

Honestly, if people took time researching and is open to consider other brands, you can literally get a performance close to an iPhone 15 at 1/4 of it's price. Never used an iPhone and never had any "issues."

Most ppl are pointing out that it’s too expensive but I think that’s only a smaller point. I think the larger issue is they’re releasing on average a new phone a year with bigger batteries and higher quality hardware so there’s no need to buy the latest tech if you already got the 13 two years ago and it’s still in great condition. Yes, the cost adds a layer to that but I think less and less customers have the need to replace their old phone since the newer ones are lasting much longer. Just as an anecdote, I’ve had an XR for 3 years and don’t plan on getting a new one for another year because it’s lasting me so much longer than my iPhone 5 and 8. Someone I know STILL uses their 8 to this day and it’s in good condition

Price needs to go down. Ridiculous! Upgrading each year is a waste of money.

It used to make some sense to buy a new iPhone every other year. They weren't nearly as expensive, and they were big improvements. Now they are a lot more expensive, and the improvements are small. Might as well hold on to the same phone for five or more years if you can.

I just haven’t upgraded in a couple years because the 13 pro max is insane! The phones are built to last and it has been less and less appealing to upgrade each year. I’m just waiting for the next big upgrade to hardware or a decent reason to upgrade
