Forgive me, but I'm a long-time Android user (in a household with three iPhone users, nonetheless). Clearly the new iPhone releases do nothing for me. But I'm curious how many iPhone users (iUsers?) simply buy new models every year versus new-to-Apple buyers. Is there a substantial number of people who just wake up over the course of a year and declare "Hey, I gotta get me one of them iPhones!" and count as new users or converts? Is there a substantial number of people who 'age into' getting a phone (meaning kids who are now allowed to have one)? Or is that $200 billion spent last year on phones predominantly the users who are upgrading/buying the new model each time one comes out?

Legit think the only thing left for a smartphone to do is some kind of built-in high resolution projector. Besides that, it's the AR stuff that the average person really couldn't care less about.
