iPhone 13 launched with an upgrade that was not so significant when compared to the iPhone 12. Apparently the lack of upgrades on the iPhone 13 made many Apple fanboys disappointed and not interested in this phone.
This was revealed from a survey conducted by the SellCell site on September 23 to 30, 2021. To 5,000 iPhone users aged 18 years and over in the United States, SellCell asked their opinion about the iPhone 13 that had just launched.
As a result, 64% of users said the iPhone 13 line was 'not very attractive' and 'not interesting at all'. 21.5% said the iPhone 13 was 'somewhat attractive', and only 14.4% said 'very attractive'.
Of all respondents, only 23.3% intend to buy an iPhone 13. Whereas a survey conducted by SellCell two months ago before the launch of the iPhone 13 found 43.7% of respondents intend to buy an iPhone 13.
