Or, maybe, people realized that there is no reason to get a new phone every year.

They are not mutually exclusive, tbf.

True, but the calculation probably include also less expensive models, which make probably the big part of the market.
And even for a low price smartphone there is no necessity to buy a new one every year.

Then I agree, actually probably there is way less people that can put 1000 or more $/€ on a phone every year.
