Apple smartphone users are less likely to buy new devices than Android device owners. Appleinsider reports this.
This conclusion was reached by analysts from the agency Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP). It found that 61 percent of iPhone users have owned their devices for more than two years, compared to 43 percent of Android users. There are also more Apple smartphone users who have owned their smartphones for three years or more—29 percent versus 21 percent for Android.
