All smart phones have leverage with
only one thing in common, is carrier monthly payments. If it wasn’t for that, they’d never be able to sell these smart phones, because they’re becoming exponentially more expensive as the technology becomes more advanced.
But on the flip-side, Apples hardware is so good with their smart phones, they have very few problems, in addition to; five years of iOS updates is pretty significant that keeps consumers loyal to the same device.
I would say the only thing Apple really has on their side, is the ‘upgrade program’. Without that, I do feel that their sales would suffer even more, as carrier promotions just aren’t even that tempting.
Plus, now factor in inflation, smart phones (Or tech in general) are one of the last things consumers will upgrade if they don’t have to.
