It adds up to more than 100 percent because the rest of the Android and other mobile device makers actually lose money according to IDC.

where do you find the be$t place to upgrade to a new iphone?

I live in Key West and rarely venture on the mainland so there are no Apple stores readily available to me

I have ATT as a carrier and the service in the store is a nightmare

any suggestions?

I've been dying to get an iPhone 6 series but my 5S works so flawlessly that I don't see any reason to do an early upgrade. My term comes up in June and I'm looking forward to getting a 6S at that time.

This iPhone 5S is the most perfect phone I have ever owned. I used to have Android phones and I'm not going back anytime soon.

Here's the problem for Android handset makers: the sheer openness of Android actually works against them, because as each manufacturer put in their own user interface or "skin" on Android, that makes it very difficult to update the underlying Android operating system to add features or fix bugs (unless the phone is a pure Android phone like the Google Nexus series).

Since all iPhones use a common user interface, that makes it very easy to update iOS to the latest version each device supports. I have an iPhone 6 (64 GB) and it's gone from iOS 8.0 to 9.0.1 with no significant issues (and will continue to do so until I finally trade it in on the iPhone 7 in the fall of 2016). That'a why people like to buy the iPhone, because they know very well that Apple will make available iOS updates on a timely basis. Indeed, that's why even the old iPhone 5 from 2012 is still valuable, since it can run iOS 9.0.1 reasonably well.

I usually go with the flow and up grade because at this point you can get the highest trade in. I don’t see the reason this time and I like the 6+ I have!
It just seems like they are really not much of an upgrade!

I like my 6S plus.

Apple does make the best phones and computers.
