Apple released details of the new 13 range of smartphones to quite the fanfare, and this saw fans of the ecosystem clamoring to get a piece of the pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As expected, the iPhone 13 (all variants) faced shortages within minutes, leaving some consumers empty-handed. While this is always going to be a disappointment for customers, further bad news came as shipping delays hit the iPhone 13, thanks to the electronic component shortage blighting the tech industry as a whole. However, doesn&#8217;t every cloud have a silver lining, to coin a phrase? Yes, it does&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These delays are, of course, inconvenient. However, the knock-on effect of such setbacks is inevitably an increase in demand for the product in question. This means that the iPhone 13 has seen the best value retention over the first two months since launch, compared to previous models; not just great news for Apple, but great news for those who secured a handset at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SellCell has compared trade-in values for the iPhone 13-series handsets with those of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11, with some promising results. Let&#8217;s analyze why these setbacks may well be a blessing in disguise for both Apple and iPhone 13 owners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/smartphone-depreciation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check the depreciation value of your iPhone or other smartphone, here<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The iPhone 13-series has only seen depreciation of 25.5% of MSRP across the entire range in months one and two; an unprecedentedly low depreciation figure and the lowest yet for any iPhone launch.<\/li><li>iPhone 13 depreciation is 19.1% less than the iPhone 11-series depreciation in months one and two.<\/li><li>iPhone 13 depreciation is 15.5% lower than that of the iPhone 12 in the same period post launch.<\/li><li>On average, the iPhone 13 entire range has depreciated by only 0.6% between months one and two, with a depreciation of 24.9% by the end of month one, and depreciation of only 25.5% by the end of month two.<\/li><li>The iPhone 13-series hasn&#8217;t just <em>retained<\/em> a lot of its value; between months one and two, some models have seen value recovery after an initial drop post-launch.<\/li><li>The premium models have held or regained value, with the iPhone 13 Pro Max 1 TB regaining 1.4%, the 512 GB variant recovering 1.7% of its launch price, and the 128 GB version seeing an impressive 1.8% regain.

Perhaps surprisingly, the iPhone 13 Mini 512 GB saw the most value recuperation since September. Having lost $349 in the first month, the mighty Mini clawed back an awe-inspiring $40; something almost unheard of in the smartphone industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB\u2014the most expensive handset in the new range\u2014came second. Although it lost $439 in value during the first month post-launch, it regained $21 during month two, rather than see a further drop in value. The 13 Pro 1 TB model recovered $20, and the iPhone 13 512 GB pulled back $15 of its original MSRP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What has caused this value recovery, though? And what is preventing these handsets from depreciating further?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/how-much-is-my-iphone-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is <em>your<\/em> smartphone worth?

It has also cut production by 20%. This means that these particular handsets will be scarce once Apple fulfills pre-orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it wouldn&#8217;t be unreasonable to believe that\u2014until Apple start&#8217;s to meet the unprecedented demand with a supply of iPhone 13s stocking the shelves\u2014we may see models recovering even more value as 2021 closes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn&#8217;t <strong>all<\/strong> good news, though. Across the board, the combined average loss between all handsets is 25.5%, and increase on the average of 24.9% we saw across the full range in month one. So, iPhone 13s have lost value overall, just not as drastically as you would expect.

People <em>want<\/em> the new iPhone and, with iPhone production down 20%, SellCell doesn&#8217;t see this demand wavering&#8230; yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is likely to be the case across the entire tech industry and is simply down to supply vs. demand. It isn&#8217;t necessarily that <strong>more<\/strong> consumers want to enter the iPhone ecosystem; it is simply that there are less handsets available to service those customers. As a result, even two months after the launch of the iPhone 13, people are still waiting to get one. This means demand stays high, and so does the value of the iPhone 13 as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could this slow depreciation trend continue for future iPhone releases? Well, possibly not. Unless the component crisis continues into 2022\/2023, it is more than likely that Apple will have enough handsets to ensure supply meets demand, once the iPhone 14 comes around. With this in mind, it is unlikely we&#8217;ll see this slow rate of depreciation again. We can&#8217;t say that for sure, but the chip shortage and global health crisis are unique circumstances that (we all hope) we will never see again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iPhones hold their value better than any other brand over a twelve-month period. So, this also tells us that if you&#8217;re in the market for a new phone and can&#8217;t decide between the new iPhone or Samsung&#8217;s latest flagship offering, your money is probably better spent with Apple, especially if you plan to trade in at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iPhones generally lose up to half their value within a month (sometimes a lot less depreciation occurs), but recoup some of that loss in month two. Again, this tells us that the iPhone is a prominent investment and, even if you don&#8217;t like your new iPhone, keeping hold of it for an extra month will usually see you recover some of that lost value if you decide you need to trade it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trade your smartphone in today, with SellCell<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, we can say that this is the slowest depreciation of any iPhone in a long time. These figures, however, probably don&#8217;t signal a trend. The component crisis and global pandemic have created unique circumstances that we&#8217;re unlikely to see again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, we can feasibly associate this slow depreciation with the demand caused by the above two factors. Both mean a shortage of iPhone 13s hitting the shelves, and so this will increase demand. Hopefully, the component crisis will see resolution by the time the iPhone 14 comes around next year. As a result, SellCell predicts that depreciation will return to normal by next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the data above shows, buying an iPhone is always going to be a better investment than buying another smartphone. That value recuperation rarely happens with any other brand. So, choose wisely when you pick your next smartphone. If you are going to trade in sooner rather than later, then the iPhone will protect your investment better than any other manufacturer&#8217;s offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SellCell has taken the above data from its pool of over 45 trusted buyback vendors. In accessing so many trade-in prices, it can paint an accurate picture of which smartphone performs best in depreciation. If you&#8217;re looking to trade in your iPhone, or any other smartphone for that matter, it is always best to use a comparison service like SellCell to ensure you&#8217;re getting the best return on your initial investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SellCell analyzed data from its registered buyback vendors, ascertaining trade-in values of the iPhone 13 models. It analyzed data in the two months since launch. SellCell used this data to calculate the depreciation of the iPhone 13 over two months since launch. It then compared this data to iPhone 11 and 12 depreciation data over the same range. SellCell then identified trends in depreciation data for all three iPhone series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone 13&#8217;s level of depreciation is half that of the iPhone 12. &#8211; After month 1 and 2, the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":12992,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1821,1826],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is the iPhone 13 Apple&#039;s Least Depreciating Smartphone Yet?
