Apple is set to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 17 series at the "Awe Dropping" event on September 9, 2025. A recent survey conducted by SellCell indicates that nearly 70% of current iPhone users in the United States plan to upgrade to one of the new models, reflecting strong consumer interest.

Despite the price hike, consumer loyalty remains high, with 69% of respondents indicating they plan to stay with Apple regardless of competing products. However, 36.8% of users stated they would delay upgrading if prices rise significantly.

While many users express excitement over the upcoming features, some critics argue that Apple has "lost its edge" compared to competitors like Samsung and Google. Battery life and pricing are cited as primary concerns, with 68.9% of users listing cost as a deterrent to upgrading. Additionally, the emergence of foldable devices from competitors poses a challenge, as 20.1% of respondents indicated they might consider switching to Samsung if Apple does not release a foldable iPhone by 2026.
