Two years has been the "standard" cell phone contract length. Hence many trade in at end of contract. Early buyouts and extended contracts are just starting to make an impact on that timing.

Yeah, that’s the right answer. But I didn’t see it as the sheep answer because of rules.

When there is a real world driver of a plausible answer, that is the sheep answer. Rule of 5 etc is for situations that don't have a real world driver, or where there are multiple answers possible from real world drivers.

I didn't think people went with "contracts" anymore either with all of the "free upgrades".

But I asked the questions to someone last night and they said the same thing "Most contracts are for 2 years"....though both of the last two phones I've bought have been financed for 36 months.

"new every two" was a thing for so long that it's ingrained, even if it's not accurate any more.
