Companies either replace when broken or replace on a schedule.
Either way, when a device comes up for renewal, it gets replaced.
If I have a budget to replace x number of devices this year, I have to use it this year. It is very rare that capex can be moved from year to year. Certainly not because of a potential software upgrade.
Also realize that in large IT shops, OS upgrade on existing devices does not happen. IT admins have better things to do than cycle phones in to update the OS. So if the phone i buy today won't run the new OS halfway through it's life, who cares.
