Highest depreciating phones in 2019-2020
We tracked the trade-in price from either 1st January or the first available trade-in value from the smartphones release date through to 31st December. The majority of the highest depreciating devices are all phones that are 5+ years old, where trade-in stores price them low as the resale and demand are no longer there. For example, when looking at the iPhone in 1st, 2nd, and 4th place, they all were released 7-8 years ago and no longer supported the latest iOS updates, with the iPhone 5S ending on 12.4.1 and the iPhone 5/5C ending on 10.3.3.
- Samsung Galaxy A6 2018 accounts for 74% of all valuations on the site, however, it lost over -75.00% of its value in 2019
