As the tech industry gears up for September, the anticipation for the upcoming iPhone release is building. Apple’s tradition of unveiling new models in the fall is expected to continue in 2025. Speculations suggest that the tech giant might hold a significant launch event on September 9th to introduce the latest iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro variants. There are also rumors circulating about the unveiling of the ultra-sleek iPhone 17 Air, designed to offer users a more manageable device.
With more details on the launch expected soon, current iPhone owners, including those with models such as the iPhone 14, 15, and 16, are advised to make timely decisions. It is common knowledge that older phone models tend to depreciate in value when newer versions hit the market, and this trend is likely to repeat itself this year.
Experts suggest that the resale value of current iPhone models could drop by up to £300, a substantial decrease that owners should consider. Sam Wilson, Director at Gadget GoGo, highlighted how waiting until after new models are announced can flood the market with older devices, leading to a decline in their worth.
Premium models, especially older Pro versions, are expected to face the most significant decrease in value, potentially losing between £150-300 within the first month post-launch. Wilson emphasized the importance of timing when selling iPhones, given their relatively higher resale value compared to other brands.
While Apple offers trade-in options, individuals considering an upgrade to the iPhone 17 should assess the current value of their device for optimal returns. It is essential to note that the iPhone 17 may not be available in stores until later next month, necessitating the use of an old device as a temporary solution before trading in.
As for the features of the upcoming iPhone 17, Apple is keeping details under wraps until its official keynote event in Cupertino, California. However, rumors suggest that the new models will sport a redesigned appearance, faster processors, improved cameras, extended battery life, updated color options, and the introduction of the ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air.
