It depends a bit on the frequency, at least for me. If I buy a new device, say, an iPad, in the first month of the release, and the successor is released nine months or less later, it'll have been the last product I bought from the manufacturer, because it makes me feel "ripped off". 12-18 months are fine with me.
This isn't necessarily a strictly logical way of approaching this, but that's how I decide whether I spend money.
