If you’re like this writer and love changing your iPhone every year, or just want to grab the new model when it comes out, thenIt’s common to want to sell the one we have now to save money in the process.. There are those who simply make an exchange with Apple, which although it is safe, effective and instantaneous, it is also true that you will not receive the same amount of money as if you sold it to them yourself.
Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming trying to figure out where, when, how much, or how to sell your used iPhone. The reality is that it’s not an easy task, which is why we used the data to know when is the best time to sell your old phone if you plan to buy an iPhone 15 in one of its variants next September.
Avoid reselling your terminal with this advice
SellCell is one of the largest used device comparators in the United States, and they shared data pulled from their website to explain when is the best time to dispose of our used iPhone. The answer? Between August 19 and 26.
What they have done is a calculation that takes into account the depreciation suffered by the terminal compared to the time of use that you can give it. After drawing two lines on a coordinate axis where the abscissa represents the lifetime of the terminal and the ordinate represents its value. To calculate what would be the optimal moment, We need to see when the two lines intersect.and they do so in the penultimate week of August according to their data.
From that moment, our phone it begins to depreciate rapidly until it loses 65% of its value, and when we talk about terminals of more than a thousand dollars, it is not little money. For example, according to this portal, in 2021 the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 lost a value of 180 dollars between August 26 and September 23. On the other hand, in 2022 the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lost, between August 19 and September 16, a value of 250 dollars.
As you can see, while iPhones are the phones that retain their value the most, are not immune to the inevitable passage of time. If this year you are thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 15 and want to sell yours to save a few dollars, perhaps you should try to sell your terminal between August 19 and 26.
