Other iPhone 12 resale value

[Flux386]

Hello everyone,
I am planning to get into the apple ecosystem this fall. I am debating between the small (regular) iPhone 12 and the normal (non max) iPhone 12 Pro.

Usually i keep my smartphones for a long time (my current Android one is approaching 5 years - the upgrade is urgent ), but since the 120Hz is a big deal for me, i would plan to keep the iPhone for about 2 years and then sell it for a new one. Who knows, maybe even the notch is gone by then.

Do you guys think the 12 Pro will lose a lot more value over that timespan since it is more expansive to begin with? Or are the pro models more desired and hold their value better? Thank you in advance

hi the smaller iPhones will not be getting 120Hz


Kuo: iPhone 12 Lineup Won't Support 120Hz, 5.4-Inch Model Will Have Slightly Narrower Notch. iPhone 12 models will not support a 120Hz refresh rate due to battery life considerations, reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today. Kuo expects the feature to debut on 2021 iPhones with lower-power LTPO display technology.Sep 14, 2020

I know, i am expecting that none of the iPhones 12 will have 120Hz, which is why i don't plan to keep my new phone for long..

If you're keeping the phone for two years and if the 12 Pro is sold for $1000 I'd say it will be worth $350-$450.... My X was bought a month after release and if I was going to update when the 11 Pro was released that was what my phone was going for...

That’s perfect, the next phone after the 12 is what I’ll be getting since I have a year and a half left on my contract.

the more expensive fone which is the pro will lose more value than the regular.

Never buy an Apple product for potential resale value. Buy the product because you want it.

Too many people on this forum spend more money on a product, so they can sell it later, which still means throwing good money out the window. Unless you sell your device for what you paid, you are selling at a loss.

It will be worth more than any comparablely priced Android phone you buy today.

And hold value longer... and years more of software support.

+1 Always buy what you want and keep it. I never get anything for my old phones... my wife takes them as a tech tax for allowing me to buy them in the first place 🤨

I much prefer throwing bad money out the window. ??
