I think the iPhone upgrade program is pretty compelling. For a lot of folks that means you can get a new iPhone every year for ~$50/mo, which is pretty manageable for most people. Having the new iPhone every year is fun and conveys a certain status. I’m not sure there’s any Android phone that conveys status. So, that’s probably got a lot to do with it.

Maybe we travel in different circles. Most people I know who get an iphone get a new one when it "breaks" or the battery dies too quickly.
