> my guess is that they are hoping that most people just will send in the device and upgrade.
That's precisely why they set it up this way, honestly leasing always made more sense for businesses. I prefer to keep my phones, peace of mind knowing, if I lose something that somehow did not make it to the backups, I can just turn on my old phone and find it.
Yeah I switch between android and iPhone sometimes so there's always something I forget to transfer over. After a long enough time I can wipe it and have it as a backup phone.
Yeah, same, I've consistently stayed on iOS since 2020 but I used to do the same, I had given a relative my "last Android" a few times, but they kept losing it, so I would never get those back at all, and I realized I lost files I didn't backup anywhere, so I stopped doing hand-me-down phones. So many photos from when I started dating my wife, completely gone as a result.
