Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to sell a phone?+
Sooner is almost always better, used phones lose roughly 1 to 2% of their value every month, with bigger drops right after a new model launches. Sell while it still holds value rather than letting it depreciate in a drawer.
How much does a phone depreciate?+
A typical flagship loses around 45 to 50% of its value in the first year and continues falling after that. Newer flagships drop fastest right after the next generation is announced.
