That may be true. iPhone is solidly built. I like it for that reason, and still have an iPhone 4 that I use as browser at home
Good Points.
However, the problem with Apple’s marketing is that people are starting to catch on. To pay full price every year for minute changes, is really not cool for a company whose products are quite cool. The gripe is not the quality of the product, it’s the price point and lack of newer features on mid-cycle upgrades. For Instance,** If I just purchased iPhone 5 not too long ago, and here comes 5S, I as a consumer may want the latest, but not sure How I’d feel about paying more than $200 for it especially considering, the upgrades take at least a year or more before you get discounted price.

This is the case with most people. For someone going from iPhone 4 or, 3GS to any of these new phones may be worth the cost. But for majority, not so much because almost everyone in a certain age group has a year or less than a year on their current phone. **(I may be wrong).

There is nothing like Apple’s marketing. No one even comes close to that. You mentioned about paying full price for upgrades but you know that Apple only releases updates around the same time frame each year so everybody knows what they are getting into when they purchase an iPhone. What do you mean by new features? It has almost everything that people need except the customization part which is sad but it runs butter smooth. Only iOS and Windowsphone can run butter smooth on old smartphones. Then there is support, your iPhone 4 is getting iOS 7 even though it’s been more than 3 years since it’s release. If you look on the other hand people barely get any support on their old phones unless you own a Nexus. The apps are fully customized and their is no fragmentation. It destroy’s all the big bosses of android with 1 GB ram and a dual core processor. Lastly, android phones start lagging within a year of their release so I think it’s a plus that your 1 year old iPhone still feels new. There is also a wide range of accessory support. It’s not just an iPhone, it’s much more than that.
