I saw that change happen with my boss.

He got an iPhone 3G when it came out and then every year when Apple would release a new phone he HAD to have the latest one as soon as it came out.

Once Apple released the iPhone X he changed his tune and got fed up with the UI changing around and unfamiliarity and decided to stick with his 8 and whatever version of iOS until he was forced to replace it.

Huh? iPhone 8 is still supported and good to go. What did force him to change it?

IIRC, shattered screen and a dislike for repaired/refurbished phones.
