Now Is The Best Time To Sell Your Old iPhone
August 14, 2013
It looks like Apple will launch the next iPhone on Tuesday, Sept. 10. This means that the new model (or models) could be available in showrooms as early as Friday, Sept. 13.
If you’re a current iPhone owner and wish to upgrade, now is likely the best time to sell your handset on the secondary market.
According to NextWorth, the residual values of older models usually begins to fall 3-4 weeks before the announcement of the new iPhone. In other words, prices are likely to begin dropping soon.
According to Jeff Trachsel, NextWorth’s CMO:
There is a predictable 15-20 percent value decline seen across all older iPhone models in the six-week period surrounding the new iPhone launch.To maximize the time people have to send in their old phones, NextWorth has extended its quote window from 21 days to 30 days. This allows customers to lock in peak pricing now, but keep their current phone for 30 days. Here is a sampling of what NextWorth is paying for old iPhones as of today, Aug. 14:
