After the scandal broke, I can tell you no way I’m interested in an iPhone 7 from eBay or swappa.
No effect.
To the informed buyers, yes, there will be changes.
If I were in the market for a used iPhone I would want one that comes with a version of iOS that's known to be safe and I would also want one that has a new battery. That criteria would eliminate many phones but might also make the qualifying phone more pricy.
Another reason to refrain from updating your iOS if you ever want to sell your phone. Lol
But when you erase all your data don’t u have to upgrade to the latest iOS??
No. You can reset your phone on the phone itself (Settings - General - Reset - Delete all settings and content). The iOS Version remains the same.But when you erase all your data don’t u have to upgrade to the latest iOS??

There is no real battery scandal. However, there is a perpetrated scandal that has been growing in the minds of those who have been consumed with the wish for one. And for the moment (15 minutes in real nonconspiracy time) the ruminations have been given a temporary voice by those in their own ranks, who would cut their nose off despite their face. And to what end? To prove in some pretzel logic way, that a negative is really a positive until some other technology night stalker turns the tables, and suddenly a rally cry for 'cause' becomes the laughter of conspiracy and the scorn of lost time.
Wow, now that we know the total life of an old iPhone is even longer - I am going to ask MORE for mine !
Anyone can be enraged. It doesn’t mean this isn’t overblown.No scandal huh? Tell that to the enraged members of this forum

Yeah but will anyone buy it? That’s the question after the scandal

That doesn’t seem right. I would think it has a MAJOR impact.
Because while this issue may matter to some OTHER people, to me it’s a non-issue. IMO I don’t think the majority of iPhone 6 and later react as those on macrumors.But WHY do you say it’s overblown?
Isn't it terrible Apple includes a power management algorithm that allows you to keep using your old iPhones by preventing unexpected shutdowns even when the battery is degraded? Isn't it terrible that Apple provides system and security updates for 5 full years? No wonder iPhones have no resale value.
