Less and less Apple users are sticking with iPhones when it comes to replacement and are switching to Android phones, especially Samsung, a new report by BankMyCell has said.

The iPhone trade-in site has been collecting data on the new device people have during the valuation and trade-in of their old iPhone. It essentially lets users sell their used phone and upgrade to a new one.

BankMyCell found that 18.1% of iPhone users were trading in their device for a Samsung device in June, the highest level since it's been in the study, according to a CNET report on Thursday.

People who chose Samsung repeatedly were in bigger numbers.

Just 7.7% of Galaxy S9 users switched over to an iPhone and 92.3% remained on the Android operating system (OS). In comparison, 26% of people trading in their iPhone X are moving onto another brand, the report added.
