A report by UK-based electronics retail company musicMaqpie revealed the change in prices of technological products over the years since they were purchased. As a result of this situation, which was experienced with the effect of the new models released by the phone manufacturers and the regulations made in the prices of the previous generation devices, the smartphones that lost the most value and inflicted losses on their buyers were listed.
Here are those brands and their phones that lost the most value!
Apple’s smartphones were the ones that lost the least value in this picture, which many people did not find surprising. Surprisingly, Samsung is at the second place on the list. Because this company was accused of creating a loss of value in the old ones, as it launched a large number of devices in the past years.
According to the shared report, the average British consumer replaces their smartphone every 16 months. This replacement usually comes at a cost of 50 percent of the old phone. According to the table, while Apple devices lost 41% of their value in a 1-year period, this value increased to 64 percent at the end of the second year.
On the other hand, Samsung’s smartphones face a loss of value of 64 percent at the end of the first year and 77 percent at the end of the second year. Interestingly, OnePlus’ values are also pretty close to Samsung’s. There is a loss of 69 percent in the first year and 78 percent at the end of the second year.
For Google and Huawei, the situation is not encouraging at the end of the second year. For example, the Mate 30 Pro and P20 models lost 87 percent and 84 percent in the first year. Of course, among the reasons for this situation, the problems that the Chinese company had with the USA are considered as an important factor.
The disclosed data also says that 33 percent of users prefer to keep the old phone when buying a new phone, rather than selling it, and this is more common in older people. It is claimed that 10 percent of the people prefer to hide the feature with the thought that the price of the model they have will increase over time.
