Apple and Samsung phones have the lowest price drop after a year

An interesting report by online UK retailer of online electronics retailer musicMagpie gives us interesting data on how smartphones depreciate over 12 months. And it’s no surprise that Apple tops the list, followed by Samsung, as their handsets are more valuable than the rest and have the lowest price drop. Be with Chicago.

According to the report, the British middle-class consumer changes his phone every 16 months, and when he intends to sell his current phone to buy a new one, it gives him about 50% of the original price. Maintains itself. In other words, his phone is worth half the original price after 16 months of use, which of course is the case with Apple phones, otherwise other brands will face a much higher price drop.

This report deals with the interesting points about the value of the phones after one year of use, and the fact that the phones of each brand have a few percent drop in price after this period of use. Apple devices seem to lose an average of 41% of their value in the first 12 months, and this criterion reaches 60% after 24 months. On the other hand, a Samsung phone loses 64% of its value in the first year of use and 77% after two years.

Interestingly, OnePlus is in third place after one and two years with 69 and 78% depreciation. However, it seems that Huawei and Google are not working well after two years. In fact, a closer look at the various smartphones on the market shows that the Mate 30 Pro and Huawei P20 lost 87% and 84% of their value in the first year. IPhones in recent years are expected to retain more than half their price in the first 12 months.

musicMagpie has collected another interesting piece of data that shows how consumers are upgrading their phones. About 33% of owners do not trade their old phones, and the older the user, the less likely they are to trade or exchange. The CEO of the company argues that trading in their old device with the new device is the best way to reduce losses. Interestingly, about 10% of users postpone the sale of their old phones and believe that its value increases over time. This is obviously not true.

According to the report, more expensive handsets priced at less than ۹ 599, which have fallen in price by about 62% in the first six months, retain their highest prices. Perhaps Huawei is predicted to have the highest depreciation due to its position at the top of the charts. Rarely does anyone want to buy a phone without Google Mobile Services outside of China.
