Personally, we upgrade to the latest iPhone every other year. Wife gets the new iPhone and I get the S model a year later. She's skipping the 7, however, and sticking with her 5 Plus, which she loves. I like the improved cameras each year.

Back when AT&T was the ONLY source of phones, and we HAD to lease them, and could not even own the phone equipment the phones were 100% solid and 99% reliable. I only had one landline phone quit working and all I had to do was go to the AT&T office and they handed me a new one with no questions asked. In those days it was illegal to hook a computer modem into the network on a home line. Everyone did and there were no issues for our 300 baud manual dial modems that cost $600 and more.
AT&T was broken up, and then reformed itself back from the baby bells.
Now we have more choices for companies than one can imagine. I like my iPhone but have no burning desire to go get the newest phone. I have a iPhone 6S. I have not seen one feature on the new phones that would make me want to spend the money to get it. I usually go two to three models before I upgrade.
