A smaller percentage of new iPhone buyers made the switch from an Android device this year compared to last year, according to a survey from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).

The survey polled people who bought an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus within the first 30 days and compared it to the first 30 days of the iPhone 5S and 5C launch last year.

In 2013, 23% of new iPhone buyers were switching from Android. This year, only 12% said they were switching from Android. Everyone else was upgrading from an older iPhone model.
