KeyBanc Survey Indicates Declining iPhone Upgrade Intent Among Consumers
A recent KeyBanc Capital Markets survey reveals that while the upcoming iPhone 18 has generated stronger initial interest compared to its predecessor, fewer consumers are planning to upgrade their devices in the near future. The report attributes this trend to higher pricing and weaker demand beyond early adopters. The findings suggest potential challenges for Apple (AAPL) as it seeks to drive sales of new iPhones among a broader consumer base. With only 20% of surveyed users indicating an intent to upgrade, there are concerns about the long-term impact on iPhone sales growth if this trend continues into mainstream markets.
