A new survey from mobile operator Vodafone UK has claimed that people are now keeping their mobile devices for longer, with the majority upgrading every 4 years
Despite what they’d say on a poll, if you actually forced people to buy a new phone if they answered yes then a majority would stick with what they’ve got.
Absolutely not. I don’t have a laptop, have a family group that have between us, iPhone X, XS, 11 and an old 7max. All chargers I have owned for the last 10 years are USB A at the charger. So the cable will be USB A to lightning for all the phones and to something else, like micro usb for other devices like a rechargeable bike light. USB C is just to cause e-waste and of no practical use.
Got three macs and a pc, playstation and my work laptop is the only thing that has usb-c on it. But it’s off no interest when not working, I just can’t think why usb-c is so important to some people. It seems like if you had been upgrading constantly on android phones, there’s the driver.
The only person I work with that keeps banging on about usb-c is the Android phone guy.
Next iPhone gets usb c.
That’s great, but considering everyone’s already got the cables they need, for most people it’s not really a feature to upgrade for.
Most people have 1 cable they need for their phone and a lot of usb c. Upgrading means no more going to find that 1 unique charger.
Yeah, it’s nice, I just don’t think that feature is worth upgrading for most people.
Face ID and Apple Pay were jumps forward in the way that people use their phones and were quite exciting, introducing USB C is just backtracking.
You are the minority then. If you do a poll on what would make people buy a new iPhone it will be the usb c connection.

Buying a handful of spare chargers is much cheaper than buying a new phone.
