Nearly 70% of iPhone users in the United States are planning to upgrade to the iPhone 17, according to a recent survey. This indicates strong demand ahead of Apple’s expected announcement on September 9. The survey, which included over 2,000 U.S.-based iPhone users, showed an increase in interest compared to the iPhone 16 launch. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models are predicted to lead early sales, with a significant portion of respondents expressing interest in the new iPhone 17 Air, known for its ultra-thin design. While battery life is the top reason for upgrading, price remains a major concern, deterring many from making the switch. Despite this, brand loyalty is high, with most users intending to stay with Apple. However, the lack of a foldable iPhone by 2026 could see some users consider switching to competitors like Samsung and Google. The survey also revealed mixed feelings about ultra-thin designs and AI features, with many users valuing battery capacity over thinness and having varied opinions on the importance of AI in smartphones.
