    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.

          Initially anecdotal. But also turns out to be statistically true. www.statista.com/chart/amp/3634/smartphone-upgrades/

              This data is also about 8 years old but I couldn’t find any newer
