The average American now holds onto their smartphone for 29 months, according to a recent survey by Reviews.org, and that cycle is getting longer. The average was around 22 months in 2016.

to be honest for a second, I’ve had my phone for over 4 years and it still works as great as the day i bought it. the battery is still over 10 hours which is good enough for me. my last phone was purchased in 2014 and it’s still being used by one of my relatives (although i gotta admit it sucks). 29 months is really short especially for the US market which i imagine buys higher quality phones.
disposable income is falling off for most people and the rich people that are gaining income are not interested in buying more than one phone, and devices are already fulfilling their function perfectly well and the improvements are always marginal. why would anybody think that sales will not stagnate?
