In the absence of a few days to see the iPhone 17 officiallymany companies want to estimate its real sales, as well as their interest, since it can be important for the manufacture of accessories, from covers to load cables, etc.
Today we will see one of them, where it is estimated that 70% of people who already have an iPhone and are faithful to the brand, intend to renew it for one of those who will present this September 9a fairly high percentage, really.
7 out of 10 Apple users will renew their iPhone
A new Sellcell survey made in August among more than 2,000 iPhone owners in the United States paints a very favorable panorama for the launch of the launch iPhone 17: he 68.3 % He says he will update as soon as he comes out. It is a better result if we compare it with the same survey last year, where it came out that 61.9 % had that intention with the iPhone 16.
Among the models, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are the ones that have the most interest (38.1 %). The iPhone 17 base convinces 16.7 %, while the new iPhone 17 Air, with its ultrafine design, attracts 13.5 % (despite not really knowing it). Only 3.3 % declare that it will specifically wait for a folding iPhone.
The satisfaction with the current iPhone is also high: the 72.9 % It feels better than in previous years, although 27.1 % believe that Apple has “lost its advantage” against competition. What pushes to change? The battery leads with 53 %, followed by Design and new functions (36.2 %), screen improvements (34.3 %), camera (28.1 %) and advances IA/Software (7.1 %).
He price It remains the great brake: the 68.9 % He cites it as the main reason for not updating. In addition, 71.7 % claim to be happy with their current mobile. Other reasons to wait include interest in folding (7.5 %), preference for physical SIM compared to ESIM (6.6 %) and the idea of changing to Android (5.3 %). If Apple does not launch a folding in 2026, 20.1 % would consider going to Samsung and 10.2 % to Google.
Curiosity of the survey: 47.5 % would accept Less battery in exchange for a finer mobilealthough 29.7 % do not want ultradelgated phones. About ia, 44 % sees Apple Intelligence as something very important; 33 % say that the “neither fu ni fa” AI ”, and 44 % believe that Apple leads this land (Samsung and Google are 6.6 % each; 10 % do not see clear leader).
In summary, many interesting data, but something key, and that is that Apple users are very faithful to the brand, but they do not like to wait for novelties, and price increases, so that Tim Cook's company should have this clear, and offer what they really look for, since it never knows, and it may be that the iPhone 17 is not as expected, many end up in other brands, as we have already seen, because we not only have the field of the device Ia, which can make a difference if Apple is still staying behind.
And you, are you that 70% who intends to change to the iPhone 17, or is he happy with his current model and believe that it is too much expense for how little he will change? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
