How much money do phones lose per year in value?

The Torrent

A £230 redmi k20 (Non pro). What will that cost in your opinion in a year, what about in 2 years?

A Oneplus 7tPro - the old flagship - £550 now - how much in a year, 2 years? What about 3?

Iphone 11 Pro? Iphones lose value less than other phones - how much will an iphone hold value? £1000ish now.

 

What price bracket is the best value for depreciation per year. Im guessing the lowest, but in 3 years time could the 7tpro cost £350 compared to the k20 being obsolete?

iphones in a few years go down to somewhere between 50-70% mattering on what model. larger storage is always more desirable

High end flagships lose about 75% of their value in 2 years. Mid range phones lose about 30-50% of their value in 2 years as well they are mid rangers and a lot are crazy good value already so they tend to stay on the market longer and used lose less because they stay relevant whilst flagships get replaced in a flash by something better (usually you are 3 flagships further in 2 years).

 

Another thing is that mid range phones now don't go obsolete fast if you buy the right one as you get close to flagship specs with a good battery. That and most are far easier to take apart and do a battery replacement if you want that kinda thing.

 

Flagships kinda die when their battery does.
