The iPhone Franchise -- Stratechery

Final paragraph from a review of yesterday's Apple update; check the full post for an iPhone XR assessment and analysis of Apple's overall iPhone strategy
"That is the iPhone: it is a franchise, the closest thing to a hardware annuity stream tech has ever seen. Some people buy an iPhone every year; some are on a two-year cycle; others wait for screens to crack, batteries to die, or apps to slow. Nearly all, though, buy another iPhone, making the purpose of yesterday’s keynote less an exercise in selling a device and more a matter of informing self-selected segments which device they will ultimately buy, and for what price."
