    Saying that, when looking for documented statistics, they don’t match up with the article.

      The source is Counterpoint Research as linked in the article - the 55% figure in the headline is misleading, the statistic is really “55% of new devices shipped”, not total market share.

              not exactly what you said earlier. There’s only like a 10% difference in the apple/android groups. So, slightly more iPhone users upgrade every two years compared to android users.

                  I would guess the 2-year numbers are much lower these days.
