Like every September, or at least if there are no delays, we are a few days away from meeting a new generation of the iPhone. Apple’s line of phones prepares to receive your annual renewal, which this time would have new features such as the ProMotion screen or the reduction of the notch. And of course, users are also preparing for the arrival of the new phones.
Not a few users are already ready to change their iPhone for the next model. Even though it may only be a year or less in use. And the truth is that, on many occasions, the outlay they must make for this is not so great. All this, thanks to iPhone usually retains its value for longer.
However, that does not mean that they do not receive the impact of the arrival of a new model. And to give us an idea of that depreciation, the resale website decluttr has shared an annual report presenting this phenomenon. Even, compares with competitive models, so that we take it into account when buying the next smartphone.
In this regard, the brand will play a very important role, and Apple is still the strongest brand on the market. On average, the company’s terminals lose 49% of their value after the first 12 months. In comparison, phones from brands such as Samsung or Google lose around 65% of their value in the same period of time, a percentage that Apple terminals reach after 24 months.
About the models that lose less value, iPhone 11 has the first position, with a loss of 37% after 12 months. In fact, the following seven positions are also occupied by Apple terminals of various generations. It is not until the ninth position that we find the Google Pixel 3A and XL, with losses of 52% and 53% after 12 months, respectively.
In short, if we want to get the new iPhone at a good price through the sale of our current mobile, the best thing will be to do it as soon as possible. Preferably, even before the announcement, which is when it seems that depreciation becomes more intense according to the same report. And for that, there should only be a few days left.
