iPhone, iPad or Mac frequencies renewals very different depending on the product

iPhone, iPad or Mac frequencies renewals
We know well in this race before: technology evolves quickly and terminal can be found in past few years by ever faster models, thinner, taller, ... everything!


So the question arises? How long the iPhone, iPad or Mac do they keep their machine?

If the device is stolen or broken, how long would they before buying a replacement? One study tried to know the practices of users in the field. The findings show clear differences in terms of product range:

For the iPhone, and it's not really a surprise, the average length of renewal around 2 years, often a user with its operator commitment period in the U.S. or study was conducted . 

There is a safe bet that this period was undoubtedly valid there a few years France had to lie down since the arrival of non-binding operators (without subsidies). In addition, it is every two years that the iPhone is physically modified , giving an opportunity for those who change have a different terminal, whether version of "s" or not.

The Mac , he appears in the light of the study as having a turnover frequency much longer with four years on average .

Finally, the iPad is between the two, closer elsewhere cycle Mac than the iPhone. When to change iPhone, more than a third of older models are sold or exchanged . Conversely, older models (several generations behind) are often kept by their owner probably at the bottom of a drawer. While some recycle with family or friends, but to a much lesser extent than the much more likely to give a second life to their tablet with relatives iPad possessors

And if there was an unexpected and that the machine was stolen or broken? Well, iPhone owners would not take long because 80% of them put less than two days to find a replacement . Moreover, 37% said they would replace their iPhone immediately if something goes wrong .

At the iPad or Mac, lengthen the time a little to pass a week with a maximum of one month , even though 25% of iPad owners say they would replace it immediately in case of trouble unexpected.
And you? Changing your iPhone or iPad at what rate in normal times? and if something goes wrong?
