5G or autonomy, you have to choose. And iPhone users have decided with this new study by BlinkAI. Unsurprisingly, it’s a better battery that takes precedence.
IPhone and battery life are not about love. It must be said that the manufacturer’s smartphones are known to have a lower autonomy than the Android models. Autonomy that irreparably melts like snow in the sun: the iOS 10 scandal bears witness to this. But the iPhone obviously has big arguments, so its 5G, considered one of the best on the market. And if you had to make a choice between 5G and increased battery life for your Apple smartphone, what would you choose? BlinkAI tries to answer the question with a study of 1000 Americans about upgrading their smartphone. 55% of people use an iPhone, compared to 45% for Android. This is obviously the first category that interests us today.
—Among respondents who own an iPhone, we learn that 73% consider that better autonomy is a buying argument. Then comes storage with 49% and a more efficient SoC for 43%. 5G comes in fourth place with 34% of the votes. This shows that no matter how much users care about network compatibility, autonomy matters. Logic! As a reminder, a new leak evoked a better battery for future iPhone. The smartphone replacement cycle is also mentioned in this study, explaining that one in three consumers, in the USA, intends to keep a model for more than three years. With phones skyrocketing in price and minor upgrades, that makes sense.
