Is there an element that many iPhone4 owners will be on contracts where they get their choice of new phone every twelve months? If that is the case, then they will get a new handset anyway, and by that time the choice may be between iPhone5 and something else. And since it would be reasonable to expect the iPhone5 to be better than the iPhone4, then in this context, two thirds of owners saying they would get the new iPhone rather than a competitor handset might actually be quite low.
