Priceonomics Company conducted a study of secondary market sales of smartphones. Unfortunately, all data refer exclusively to the U.S. market, where the situation is somewhat different from other countries, however, the trends themselves are typical. Data on the cost of the device for resale is a major indicator of the reliability and popularity of models on the market. Obviously, over time, without exception, smart phones become cheaper and get for the new device does not complete its cost does not seem possible, but cheaper devices from different companies at different speeds. The study showed that it is best to resell the products of Apple. When selling vehicle in the U.S. market when it was purchased 18 months ago, you can get about 53% of its original cost. For comparison, Android-smartphone will be priced at 42%, and the BlackBerry - 41%. It is not advantageous from the standpoint of the subsequent sale is to purchase an iPhone with more memory - jump in price for new is $ 100 and for b / y - only $ 10. It should be pointed out that were used to calculate the price of vehicles without a contract. The average for each month of the iPhone in the first year of use it loses its price of $ 13.20. Rate of depreciation of Android-device is 40% higher, and slightly slower BlackBerry Android. The first generation iPhone in the U.S. market continues to have some value - such a device at an average cost of $ 110. However, it should be noted that due to the heterogeneity of Android smartphones from various manufacturers, there are some exceptions to the rule. So HTC Wildfire, Samsung Exhibit 4G, and Motorola Triumph is now on average can be sold for 86% of its original value. But we must bear in mind that the last two have been released to the market in the summer of 2011, and therefore the oldest of them can not be older than six months.
