A few notes:

• 8 peo­ple filled it out and said they weren’t buy­ing so I removed their details from the results
• I’m sur­prised that half the respon­dents are get­ting a 64GB model. I’ve been using a 32GB iPhone 4 for 2 years and I keep get­ting more space back as Apple adds fea­tures like iTunes Match and Photo Stream. But I guess apps are only going to get big­ger and with a bet­ter cam­era, you’d be shoot­ing that much more video and photos.
• An even split on buy­ing in-​​store ver­sus pre-​​ordering.
• Plenty of iPhone 4’s being upgraded which makes sense. Any­time you skip a gen­er­a­tion, the 4S in this case, you’re going to see dra­matic improve­ments across the board.

What About Me?

As I men­tioned above, I’m using a 2 year old 32GB iPhone 4. I’ve got a year left on my Telus con­tract so I’d be look­ing at $180 to upgrade plus the price of a iPhone 5 (Black 32GB is what I’d do if you’re won­der­ing) so it’s just not worth it to me to upgrade and throw away $180.

If any­thing, our fam­ily is going to need to upgrade my wife’s iPad 1. With iOS 6 com­ing soon, the iPad 1 isn’t able to run it and so she’ll start to miss out on some of the newer fea­tures as they get added. Plus iOS 5 is run­ning so slow on the iPad 1 that we’d be look­ing to upgrade even if there wasn’t the iOS 6 issue.

So that’s where, if any­where, our gad­get upgrade money will go in the near future.

Thanks to all that both­ered to fill out the sur­vey. I really do appre­ci­ate you sat­is­fy­ing my nerdy curios­ity about what the read­ers of this blog are doing with their tech/​nerd money.
