The risk of waiting to design the iPhone new
Dipanjan Chatterjee, Vice President and Chief Analyst of the Market Research Farm Forester, called a re-design “Double-AG Rowal”, considering the design of the iPhone for a while.
“A bold redist design for his anniversary model seems to be a great idea until you realize that it is still two years away and the Apple has fought to trigger the upgrade supersike that the company will recover the stagnant iPhone growth,” he said.
Chatterjee admits that Apple intelligence has not yet fulfilled the promise to convert old iPhone owners to the next consistent hardware.
He added, “The temptation to wait more for a greater advanced design of 2027 design can increase the more upgrade cycle,” he added.
He said that the other risk is that some customers can now go for cheap iPhone 16E and wait a few years to buy the premium phone they want.
