Recently, Apple released a report in which it said that the iPhone retains its value at least 40% higher than that of Android, and this gap will further widen as the model ages.
Apple believes that Apple's lifespan is longer than that of its competitors, with hundreds of millions of iPhones currently available in models older than 5 years.
In fact, there has been a lot of controversy about who keeps Apple or Android phones.
For a long time, most people believe that Apple is more valuable, I don't believe that everyone can take a look at the second-hand platform, the old iPhone can still be sold for some money, even if it is an old iPhone that has passed 6 or 7 years, it can also be exchanged for cash.
But most of the Android phones that have been used for 6 or 7 years can only change the basin and scissors.
However, this is all the old calendar, compared with Apple, Android mobile phones in the past, it is true that they do not maintain their value, but now, with the optimization of the system and the strong performance of the mobile phone, the service life is no longer a problem that plagues Android.
I used to use an Android phone for 5 years, and it was no longer stuck, but now I have used an Android phone for 5 years, and I don't necessarily have multiple cards, of course, you take an Android machine of a few hundred yuan with the exception.
I don't believe you to compare the Android flagship phone, after using it for 5 years, the missing ones are more stuck than the iPhone that has been used for 5 years.
Especially in 2023, Apple is already synonymous with not maintaining value, don't believe us, let's take Apple's iPhone15, compare Huawei Mate60, you will understand.
The iPhone 15 series was only released in September last year, and it has not been a year so far, and the current decline has reached 25-30%.
For example, the iPhone15 of 5999 yuan, as long as it is about 4400, a decrease of 27%, and the iPhone15 Pro Max of 9999 yuan, which is currently priced at about 7500, a decrease of 25%.
On the other hand, the Huawei Mate60 series was released earlier than the iPhone15, but it is still very valuable.
Take Mate60 Pro as an example, the release price of 12+512GB is 6999 yuan, and now it will be about 6300, which is only 10%. 8999 yuan Mate60 Pro+, 16+512GB version, now it will be about 7800, only down about 13%.
Is it much more valuable than Apple's iPhone 15? What's more, the Mate 60 is still a phone that was released earlier than the iPhone 15.
Of course, some people say that Huawei mobile phones are not Android mobile phones, they are Hongmeng mobile phones, but although Huawei is currently using the Hongmeng system, because it is compatible with the Android ecosystem, theoretically speaking, there is no essential difference with Android mobile phones, and it is still an Android mobile phone.
It can be seen that Apple's value preservation myth has long been broken, don't take the iPhone more value preservation to talk about things, in the past, Apple's system was smooth, the performance was good, and it did retain its value, but now the Android machine has already caught up, and the problem of value preservation is no longer a problem, what do you think?
