As we approach September, the tech world gears up for the annual unveiling of the latest iPhone models by Apple. The tech giant is anticipated to host a significant launch event, possibly on September 9th, to introduce the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Speculations also suggest a potential reveal of the ultra-sleek iPhone 17 Air, catering to users seeking a more manageable device.
With official details expected to be disclosed soon, current iPhone owners, including those with models like the iPhone 14, 15, and 16, are advised to take prompt action. It’s common knowledge that older phone models tend to depreciate rapidly following the release of new iterations, a trend likely to persist this year.
Experts suggest a potential decline in the resale value of existing models by up to £300, highlighting the significant loss users may incur. Sam Wilson, Director at Gadget GoGo, emphasized the importance of timing in selling older iPhones to maximize returns and avoid value depreciation.
Premium Pro models are projected to experience the most substantial drop in value, with potential losses ranging from £150 to £300 within the initial month post-launch. Wilson reiterated the necessity of timely action to capitalize on higher resale values inherent to iPhones compared to other brands.
While Apple provides trade-in options, individuals contemplating an upgrade to the iPhone 17 are advised to assess the current value of their devices for optimal returns. It’s essential to note that Apple’s in-store availability of the iPhone 17 may commence later next month, emphasizing the need for a temporary device during the transition.
Anticipation surrounds the upcoming iPhone 17, with speculations hinting at a revamped design, enhanced performance with a faster processor, superior camera capabilities, extended battery life, potential new color options, and the introduction of the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air.
Stay tuned for further updates on the iPhone 17 from Mirror Online as more information becomes available.
