It's probably not the first time you read that iPhone- have a better resale value than the terminals Samsung Galaxy, but a new study only confirms this, the interesting part being that the iPhone 4 recorded an increase in resale value. Analyzing the used market in the US, an American analyst said as in the last 3 months iPhone 5 lost only 3.75% of its value, iPhone 4S lost 11.85% of its value, while the value iPhone 4 increased by 10.3%. In the case of the terminal Samsung Galaxy S3 we are talking about a 27.3% drop in resale value, the Galaxy Note recording an even bigger loss of 35.5%.
Over the four months from April through July, the iPhone 5 dropped 3.75 percent in value, while the iPhone 4S dropped 11.85 percent. The iPhone 4 jumped in value by 10.3 percent. In contrast, Samsung's Galaxy S3 lost 27.3 percent of its value, while the Galaxy Note 2 fell by 35.5 percent. The situation was similar in China. Since the beginning of April, the iPhone 5 dropped 7.2 percent in resale value, the iPhone 4S fell by 14.3 percent, and the iPhone 4 grew by 1.4 percent. The value of Samsung's Galaxy S4 fell by 14.3 percent, the S3 by 24.1 percent, and the Note 2 by 23.6 percent.
In China, the situation is somewhat similar, with iPhones retaining their value in the case of resale, while Samsung terminals become cheaper and cheaper as they move away from the release date. All this information is not new, because studies of this kind are done annually and each time the exact same results are obtained, iPhones having a much better resale value than other devices. This is very good for regular users, because they can get a good price on their own terminal when a new one is released on the market, and iPhone owners are the winners.
