Analyst Survey Suggests More Iphone Upgraders Than Expected Plan To Buy Xs Max

An analyst survey into the upgrade plans of iPhone owners found that more of them than expected plan to buy the flagship iPhone XS or XS Max models …

PED 3.0 saw the note from Piper Jaffray.

It should be noted, however, that with the iPhone XR not yet out, the split may change once intending upgraders can compare the new model with the flagships.

Either way, says Piper Jaffray, the number planning to buy one of this year’s models is good news for Apple’s bottom line.

An earlier report suggests that the iPhone XS Max is ‘three to four times‘ more popular than the smaller model XS, but that would make sense. Many early buyers will have upgraded precisely because they wanted to get the larger screen, while those who haven’t yet upgraded will be more of a mixed bag.
