So I have owned all non S model iPhones since the 4. 4,5,6,7 and now I’m on the XS. always upgraded every two years which kept Me on the non s years until this upgrade which is still in my 2 year cycle. Just wondering if anyone else is in my boat?
 
I used to upgrade every year until the 6. 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5S, 6, 8 Plus, Xs Max.
 
I’m going to at least a 3 year cycle now that I am back to a normal sized phone, 4 years would be ideal.

Just tired of chasing tech, my life was fine without it.
 
It’s my second. I always used to swear off S models but then I got the 6S plus.

I liked the fact I was on non s years since they were the latest overall design and s was just an internal upgrade for the most part(with a new redesign coming in a year) but it’s just how it worked out this time around that now I’m on an S.
 
First S model here. Upgraded from my X. I couldn’t resist this screen size. Unless they come out with a 7” next year or somehow the screen technology leaps forward destroying my xs max, I won’t be upgrading for a while.
 
Picked up my first ‘S’ model earlier today

Very happy as I had the 8 previously
 
This is my first "S" cycle too because I wanted the Max. I did skip the 7 though, because that was basically a 6SS, and we all knew the X was coming the next year. So I bet that messed up some people who were upgrading every two years. I might upgrade again next year to get back on the non-S cycle.
 
On a side note, all S model for this guy (5s, 6s, Xs). Hoping this phone will last me 4 years since I got 3 from my 6s.
