A survey of iPhone owners reveals what features they want to see on the new models before they upgrade.
Over 2,000 U.S. iPhone owners were asked in a survey conducted by SellCell whether they were planning to buy one of the new iPhone 16 series models. A whopping 61.9% of those asked said that they would purchase one of the new iPhone 16 phones. SellCell is a website that buys and sells previously owned handsets. The biggest factor determining whether a current iPhone owner will upgrade to a newer model is the pricing of the new line. 30.9% of the 2,000 respondents cited pricing of the new phones as a major factor in determining whether to upgrade.How of those surveyed are basing their buying decision on Apple Intelligence?
After pricing, the next most important factor that will determine whether any of these 2,000 iPhone owners shell out for an iPhone 16 model is, surprisingly, thermal management. 26.8% of those surveyed want to see whether Apple, as rumored, added a new design to prevent the 2024 phones from overheating. It’s interesting that this is the second most important rumored new feature that potential iPhone 16 buyers want to see added by Apple to the iPhone 16 line. Next, 21.9% say that they will upgrade if there are more AI features found that are exclusive to the iPhone 16 line.
