Recently, a trend has emerged among Android users that when switching to iPhone, most of them choose affordability over the latest features. The latest analysis from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) points out that in a given quarter, regarding 15% of iPhone buyers are former Android users, and this group of people is more likely to choose older iPhone models rather than the latest products.

Analysis of the data for the 12 months ending in December 2023 found that 29% of switchers chose an iPhone SE, iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 model, compared with only 21% of existing iPhone owners upgrading to the same model . In addition, the purchasing patterns of high-end iPhone models are also worthy of attention.

Although Android converts have a lower preference for the latest iPhone models, a significant number still choose them. Specifically, an analysis of the 2023 iPhone 14 and 15 Pro and Pro Max models found that 37% of Android converts chose these high-end versions, while 43% of existing iPhone users chose these models.
Economics and ecosystems are key
There are two main factors driving this trend. First, many converters were previously using cheaper Android devices, so switching to a similarly priced iPhone is a more comfortable financial decision. Second, access to Apple’s “ecosystem” and access to exclusive features like iMessage and FaceTime provide a perceived value that doesn’t require the latest and most expensive iPhone.

pragmatism
The move from Android to iPhone challenges the notion that the latest and greatest technology is always the most popular. Instead, it highlights a pragmatic approach to smartphone adoption, where value and functionality take precedence over owning the latest model.
