one of the reasons why i don't really update my devices is because i don't know what to do with the old one. and until then, i don't buy anything new.
People upgrading their phone every generation represent a minority of Apple customers. They're principally targeting people on 2 year contracts and new users. That's why the criticisms of the tech press are always at such odds with sales figures.

Nice thing about having an iPhone is that its resale value is so high. Market value for an iPhone 4 on Craigslist? $390. For a Samsung Galaxy S? $200.
