Power pointed to new lows in AT & T and Verizon in upgrades as evidence that the trade up to new devices could continue slowing, which can be bad news for the product maker.

Both are above Wall Street consensus, the analyst noted. Power’s note comes ahead of Apple’s earnings report slated for early August.
