According to a new study by analytical company CounterPoint Research, after the launch of the iPhone 14 series, the price of refurbished and used smartphones of the iPhone 13 series increased by an average of 11%. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are in particularly high demand.

As CounterPoint Research points out, this result isn’t surprising, as Apple has “cut” the standard versions of new phones this year. That is, the design of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is the same as in the previous generation, they did not receive a Dynamic Island and a display with a frequency of 120 Hz. As for performance, for the first time in history a new iPhone gets the platform from last year.

According to survey data, the two main new features, satellite communications and car accident detection, aren’t that important to most average users. However, the average selling price of the iPhone 14 rose even higher.

As a result, the price of a refurbished or used iPhone 13 Pro will be lower than the price of new smartphones. Therefore, some users who are short of budgets prefer last year’s flagships. As of October 7, all four models in the iPhone 14 series went on sale, and the iPhone 14 Plus did not make the same demands as the older models. Source
