Summary
68% of Android users who switched to iPhone bought an iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max in the six months ending March 2026, CIRP said.
12% of all iPhone buyers came from Android in CIRP’s latest switching analysis, showing the switcher pool stayed relatively small even as most chose current flagship models.
80% of existing iPhone owners who upgraded also picked an iPhone 17 model, leaving Android switchers 12 percentage points less likely than loyal Apple buyers to choose the newest lineup.
The figures suggest many first-time iPhone buyers still gravitate to Apple’s latest devices, though at lower rates than established users already inside the ecosystem.
