But that’s just cargo cutting statistics, mistaking correlation for causation.

If a person doesn’t have money and therefore buys a used phone and doesn’t spend on services, forcing them to buy a new phone won’t make them magically have money for services.

But it will make them spend more money at Apple -- the device purchase price.
