The depreciation rate of iPhone is extremely low, and the cost-effectiveness of Apple phones is still very high

Recently, a survey showed that the depreciation rate of iPhones is only half that of Android phones, and the depreciation rate of three year old iPhones is only 11.3%. This result has made many consumers marvel at the value preservation ability of iPhones. Many people know that the price of the iPhone is relatively high compared to other phone brands, but based on the depreciation rate, the Apple phone is actually the most cost-effective phone.

According to the 2021-2022 mobile phone depreciation report released by BankMyCell, the depreciation rate of Apple's iPhone over three years is only half that of Android phones. The report shows that although the depreciation rate of iPhone phones is relatively low, compared to previous years, such data is already considerable.

Specifically, the depreciation rate for iPhone phones in the first year was 13.83%, while the depreciation rate for Android phones was 32.06%. The depreciation rate of the iPhone in the second year was 13.57%, while the depreciation rate of the Android phone was 35.14%. Finally, the depreciation rate for iPhone phones in the third year was 11.30%, while the depreciation rate for Android phones was 27.09%

The results of this report may be influenced by various factors, such as market competition and update speed among different brands. However, from a consumer perspective, this means that purchasing iPhones may be more cost-effective as they have a lower depreciation rate over three years and can maintain relatively high value. Of course, this also requires consideration of other factors such as functionality, brand loyalty, and personal needs.

Compared to other brands of smartphones, the depreciation rate of the iPhone is lower, and users can obtain higher second-hand value when selling their old iPhone after three years of use. This also provides more guarantees for users to purchase iPhones.
