Jeff Fieldhack, Research Director at Counterpoint Research commented, “iPhone 7 Plus owners upgraded to the XS Max more often as they replaced their two-year-old devices with the newest, most expensive model. There were also iPhone 8 Plus users who were most likely upgrading due to their yearly upgrade programs.”

Fieldhack further added, “The iPhone XR also created the most the churn from Android to iOS. The majority of Android switchers to the iPhone XR were previously using the Samsung Galaxy S7. On the other hand, the majority of iOS users who switched to Android were iPhone 7 users. Samsung Note 9 was the most purchased Android device by previous iPhone 7 users.”
