iPhone Lifespan
We have always said it. The iPhone are expensive but they are very durable over time. You can use them for many years at full capacity without having to change it, as can happen with some Android terminals. It is a safe and long-term investment. Also, if you apply the tutorials for iOS that we have on the web, they will last much longer at maximum performance.
The company CIRP has just launched a study that shows that people who own a terminal on the block take more and more time to change it.Little by little, and as you will see in the graph below, the users of these devices "stretch" their use for longer. And, today, a 4-year-old iPhone works like a charm. We tell you that we use, as a company mobile, an iPhone 7 that works great.
The useful life of the iPhone is increasing for its users:
In the following image we can see the evolution of the time of use of Apple terminals:
CIRP Study
The number of people who keep their iPhone for three or more years has risen from 12% in 2016 to 28% in 2020 (purple bar) . This shows that apple mobiles work like a charm, more and more time.
A while ago we told you about the useful life of iPhones In that opinion article we told you that you can buy the latest model and forget about changing at least 4- 5 years.During this time, the smartphones guaranteed to be constantly updated to the new iOS and ensured a very good performance. If you change before it is due to boredom, breakage, or poor conservation of it.
But the thing is now you hear rumors that Apple is going to extend by a year, updating older phones. If before it made the terminals obsolete in the 4th year of its launch, it seems that from this year it will do so in the 5th year. If this is so, I'm sure that in the coming years iPhone users will continue to put off the moment when they change their device.
Uses for old iPhones:
But the thing doesn't stop there. The old or old terminals that you may have at home without using, you can give them a new life.
If you have one, we recommend this article in which we talk about different uses to reuse old iPhones. Surely one of them comes in handy.
