When you’re making a getting decision ahead of the arrival of a new high-end phone, there are lots of considerations to take into account.
Screen size, CPU, cameras, and display technology are all part of the equation, but what about resale value? It isn’t something that lots of take into account, but according to seller bank My Cell, they probably should.
According to a new report by the retailer, there was a dramatic difference in the resale value of the iphone X and Galaxy S9, the two comparable devices that launched last year from Apple and Samsung respectively. According to the report, the iphone X saw its $999 retail price fall only 30% over its first nine months on sale, with a resale value of around $690. However, when you consider the Samsung Galaxy S9, it apparently saw 60% of its initial price fall away, with a resale value of just $290 after the same period.
Things were clearly not terrific as soon as the first month after release, with bank My Cell saying “in fact, the S9 lost 10.73% a lot more of its resale value in the first month of release than the iphone X did in nine months! Ouch.”
So far, it appears that the iphone XS and iphone XS Max are producing similar resale value, something that will unquestionably be appreciated by buyers when the next iphone rolls around at the end of this year.
Being able to step an older iphone on in buy to pick up a new one is one of the best ways to get your hands on the current and greatest that Apple has to offer. However, if you’re using the hotted Samsung phone, it would appear you can expect to have to put a lot more cash into the pot in buy to upgrade.
