By looking at historical phone trade-in data prior to the launch of a new iPhone, we can see a trend emerging. If a new handset is going to be popular, more people trade in their old iPhone to make space for the latest model. You can see, from the table above, that 2014 delivered a 61% increase in trade-in activity. Up to now, this figure has remained unmatched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, until the anticipated launch of the iPhone 12. Apple has caused such a furor over their next smartphone that more people are trading their old iPhones in now that they have in the past six years, with the figure already showing an additional 2% on 2014&#8217;s telling statistics. As a result, the data infers that this is going to be the biggest launch of any iPhone model since the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data you see above relates to percentage increases in iPhone trade-ins in July-September of that given year when compared to the trade-in figures for the previous quarter (in this case April-June). We are only at the start of September and, already, we are seeing an increase on that 2014 high. As trade-ins are unlikely to slow down, we can safely assume this is going to translate to a profitable release for Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So<em>what <\/em>handsets are consumers trading-in?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"835\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-11591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in.jpg 835w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in-768x367.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"835\" height=\"399\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20835%20399%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-11591 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20835%20399%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 835w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 835px) 100vw, 835px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in.jpg 835w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in-768x367.jpg 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/iphone-models-traded-in.jpg\"><figcaption>For more data, including Top 100 Most Popular Trade Ins see: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/cell-phone-trade-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SellCell Top 100<\/a> (Image: SellCell)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that we&#8217;ve seen a 63% increase in iPhone trade-in activity ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s announcement, you&#8217;re probably asking <em>what<\/em> handsets are the most popular trade-ins. As you can see from September 2020&#8217;s iPhone data, above, we have handsets dating back 5 years. This not only shows us that people are trading in some of the most recent iPhone models ahead of the iPhone 12 release date, but also that five-year-old handsets like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/phones\/apple-iphone-6s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone 6s<\/a> have remained reliable workhorses since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the figures above will tell you, if you own an Apple smartphone from one of the four generations prior to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/phones\/apple-iphone-se-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone SE<\/a>, then you&#8217;re more likely to be trading your handset in. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/phones\/apple-iphone-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone X<\/a> is currently the most traded-in handset, followed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/phones\/apple-iphone-xr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone XR<\/a>. This indicates that once a handset has reached 2-3 years in use, consumers will start to feel inclined to upgrade to the latest smartphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/phones\/apple-iphone-11-pro-max\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/a> saw release only one year ago yet claims the fourth spot in the figures above. We know that 5G, compact form factor, and camera upgrades are some of the things consumers are looking for with the iPhone 12 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/iphone-12-pre-launch-survey-4-in-10-iphone-users-intend-to-upgrade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">from SellCell iPhone pre-launch survey<\/a>). So, with this in mind, its position in the trade-in data maybe isn&#8217;t all that astonishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are rumors circulating that there will be four variations of the iPhone 12 on offer; iPhone 12 5G, iPhone 12 Max 4G, iPhone 12 Max, and iPhone 12 Pro. In turn, one of these is rumored to boast a tiny 5.4&#8243; screen. The desire for a more compact iPhone, shown in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/iphone-12-pre-launch-survey-4-in-10-iphone-users-intend-to-upgrade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our survey<\/a>, could easily translate to a significant upturn in trade-ins and therefore increased sales for Apple&#8217;s iPhone 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Hold Out on This One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-11284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you.jpg 850w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"550\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20850%20550%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-11284 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20850%20550%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you.jpg 850w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you-768x497.jpg 768w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/costing-you.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If iPhone owners are planning on holding on to their old handset until after Apple announces the iPhone 12, our advice is&#8230;don&#8217;t. Typically, iPhones will depreciate in value by around 13% in the first month after a brand releases a new handset. The reason for this is pretty obvious; a previous-generation smartphone is no longer the most advanced. This weakens its appeal as a new iPhone enters the market, complete with all of its upgraded bells and whistles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most buyback companies on SellCell offer a 30-day price lock. This means that if consumers decide to trade their iPhone in now, they can keep their trade-in price for approximately a month. In turn, this will ensure that&#8212;if the iPhone 12 is announced imminently and their phone&#8217;s value suddenly drops&#8212;they still get the best price for their old handset ahead receiving their new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you plan on joining the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/iphone-12-pre-launch-survey-4-in-10-iphone-users-intend-to-upgrade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">41% of iPhone users planning to trade their old handset in<\/a>, then you would be wise to act sooner rather than later. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/\">SellCell <\/a>will compare 35+ prospective buyers and ensure that you get the best price for your smartphone, which you can then lock in for the next 30 days while you wait for the iPhone 12 to actually hit the shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Methodology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At SellCell we are in a unique position. As the US&#8217;s No 1 phone trade in price comparison site, we independently compare 35+ US buyback companies, so have access to the smartphone models consumers are trading in, how many of each model they trade, and to which companies they sell them to. We are well positioned to monitor smartphone trends &amp; spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Infographic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see a handy infographic of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone 12 Trade In Infographic\" class=\"wp-image-11614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-scaled.jpg 1011w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-119x300.jpg 119w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-768x1944.jpg 768w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-607x1536.jpg 607w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-809x2048.jpg 809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"2560\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201011%202560%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"iPhone 12 Trade In Infographic\" class=\"wp-image-11614 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201011%202560%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1011w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-scaled.jpg 1011w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-119x300.jpg 119w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-768x1944.jpg 768w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-607x1536.jpg 607w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-809x2048.jpg 809w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/SellCell_Infographic_10-scaled.jpg\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the launch of the iPhone 12 imminent, we drill down on the data to reveal why the launch of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":11616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1821,1825],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Could the iPhone 12 be the Biggest Apple Launch Since iPhone 6?
