The source is Counterpoint Research as linked in the article - the 55% figure in the headline is misleading, the statistic is really “55% of new devices shipped”, not total market share.

Yeah iPhone people seem to upgrade about twice as often as the rest of us

Initially anecdotal. But also turns out to be statistically true. www.statista.com/chart/amp/3634/smartphone-upgrades/

not exactly what you said earlier. There's only like a 10% difference in the apple/android groups. So, slightly more iPhone users upgrade every two years compared to android users.

This data is also about 8 years old but I couldn't find any newer

I would guess the 2-year numbers are much lower these days.
