Would that really make a noticable difference.

Most people don't upgrade every year, but those that do, typically have a still very good condition and usable second hand device to sell or hand down to another friend/co-worker/etc - that same person would otherwise just have to have bought a new device. So on net, no difference.

I'm sure there are some people that both upgrade needlessly and just let them collect dust but I can't see it being a significant percentage?

(This is coming from someone who had every iPhone from the 3G through to the X on Day 1, though now I am going from a 12 Pro Max to a 15 Pro max :)

I don't upgrade every year and still was able to turn in my previous phone for some hundred bucks so far
