They don't claim what iPhone they are coming from. This could be 70% of people with an iphone 13 or below.

I would have upgraded if they cared to make another mini!
Yet, look at Apple stock prices in the past few weeks. They will make another 52 week high as soon as the next event concludes.
Let me just grab my calculator:
1. 'Only 3.3% of respondents indicated they are holding out specifically for a foldable iPhone'
2. 'A smaller share of users cited interest in foldables (7.5%)'
3. 'If Apple does not release a foldable iPhone by 2026, 20.1% of respondents say they would consider switching to Samsung, and 10.2% to Google'
On average, 13.7 ‰ or %

The issue is not necessarily the survey. Average consumer is pretty clueless regarding AI. Some heard about Apple or ChatGPT and that’s it.
Copilot/Gemini is sometimes not even known. Most people have no idea what is Perplexity / Claude / Mistral etc
Most people here are tech enthusiasts, we do not represent average consumers
That's a very small sample size to make such broad sweeping generalizations, which really don't apply to Apple's billions of customers at large.
“When asked which company leads in AI, 44% named Apple, while both Samsung and Google were selected by 6.6% of respondents. Ten percent of users said no brand currently leads in the AI space.”
This has pretty much nullified all the other statistics of this study for me.

Everyone gets the friends they deserve – though, maybe there's a bit of a difference between you and Apple.
By the way, there's some rather amusing news about Trump's tariffs
.decyper44: It's strange that you can't be set to 'ignore' status here at Macrumors. Are you someone superior here?

Read the article again. It's 70% of iPhone owners in the US, not the world.
Hype train in full force as usual.
Who would state the more obvious?

Read the article title again. It says "70% of users." USA not mentioned in the title.
the only reason I'm planning to upgrade is because I'm on iPhone 12, which has been decent so far, but it's time to move on
The issue is that we given the results of the survey, but we don't know how the survey-takers were selected, or what the questions they were asked actually were.
These two factors can significantly affect the results.
What incident are you talking about here?
We are sworn to not talk about THE IPHONE 14 PRO INCIDENT.
It didn't happen. Nothing happened. Look, there's a pigeon!!
I’m on a 12 Pro and considering it. But not sure if I do it this year or wait one more. My battery health is down to 83%, but still hanging on and I’ve considered just replacing the battery soon. There really isn’t anything this phone doesn’t do that I want it to do. Greater zoom would be nice on the camera, but otherwise the camera is good enough 99% of the time for me. USB-C would be a nice change just to be on the more common connector for everything even though I don’t really have a problem with lighting. If they bump the max storage to 2TB, that might be it. I could put my whole music library just on my phone then at 256Kbit. The Rumored RAM bump would be nice, just hoping that if I disable apple intelligence, other apps get to use the RAM it would normally reserve because I have zero interest in apple intelligence and I don’t see that changing. But we’ll see I guess.
Why not be serious then? Only quote figures whose method of collection you are familiar with.
Anything else is a waste of your readers' time and serves only to polarize.
They're not aware Apple releases a new phone every September and has for over a decade? Your friends sound like our mtc. department that seems completely surprised and taken aback that it gets colder around December; and this surprise happens every year.
