The only things 100% guaranteed are "Newer faster iPhones with longer battery life. It's 15% better and FASTER than the one you just bought last year." Listen to any Apple event and you'll hear them say "faster" at least 50 times or more. I doubt anyone finds their new A chip iPhone is too slow for them.
Apple even has a $39.50 per month plan in which you keep paying them forever to have the newest iPhone.

Here's their stipulations for the deal:

You pay Apple $500 or $600 a year to rent a phone from them. Say you normally keep your iPhone 4 years, which is easy to do. Instead of just that $800 to $900 investment, you're forking over $2,000 to $2,400 during the 4 years. If you buy your phone outright and it's in good shape, you can get something for it after 4 years. Lowering the cost of that initial investment. It makes more sense to buy a new phone every year and resell it yourself rather than leasing one from Apple.
I guess it makes sense if you're "hard" on your iPhone and mistreat it so that it's in bad enough condition you need a new phone every year. Not sure if the AC+ covers user caused damage though.
Just think if ATT could have gotten you to buy a new phone from them every year when we all had landlines during most of the 20th century. They never had a CEO that thinks like Steve or Tim does.
