Written by Muhammad Ayman Thursday, March 14, 2024 08:00 AM Resale value trends indicate that the iPhone SE 4 It may not hold its value as well as Apple’s flagship models, according to SellCell.
According to the report, Apple’s iPhone SE models have historically depreciated much more quickly than the company’s more premium offerings, and the third-generation iPhone SE, which launched in March 2022, saw a significant drop in resale value, losing 42.6% within the first month after launch. .
This depreciation rate is in stark contrast to the depreciation rate of the iPhone 13, which saw a decline of just 18.7% in the same time frame. The value of the iPhone 13 stabilized after three months, a resilience not seen in the third generation iPhone SE, which continued to decline. The iPhone 14 and 15 also have stronger value retention than the third-generation iPhone SE, illustrating the gap between Apple’s budget and flagship lines.
These trends suggest that despite a host of rumored upgrades, the fourth-generation iPhone SE may still face a steep decline in value compared to Apple’s higher-end models.
This pattern of loss of value may discourage some consumers from investing in the next generation iPhone SE, especially those who prioritize resale value in their purchasing decision.
The iPhone SE’s faster depreciation rate can be attributed to several factors, including the perception of these devices as entry-level options, technological advances that make models using older technology obsolete more quickly, and consumer preference for high-end features.
The fourth-generation iPhone SE is rumored to feature an iPhone 14-like design with a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID instead of Touch ID, a USB-C port, an action button, and an all-screen look that does away with the home button, and is expected to launch in 2025. .
