by

The initial iPhone 13 mini costs $ 699, the base Galaxy S22 costs $ 799, and the Pixel $ 6,599. SellCell tracked their value for a period of two months and came to the conclusion that you will get the most money for a used iPhone 13 if you decide to sell it. The findings are consistent with previous reports iPhone has better value than Android devices.

The e-commerce site has been collecting data during the first and second months since its release and found the Galaxy S22 to be the worst in terms of value retention. ‘Like new’ the Galaxy S22 models were 46.8 per cent of their original value two months after launch, making the S22 series the worst. It was followed by the Pixel 6 family, which lost 41.5 percent of its value two months after launch.

In contrast, the value of the iPhone 13 series fell 16.4 percent two months after the phones hit the shelves. What is worth mentioning is that the loss of value peaked after a month (18.7 percent). Interestingly, the Pixel 6 also regained some of its lost value after the first month.
The depreciation of the Galaxy S22 has been linear, which seems to suggest that its depreciation has stopped on the plateau, so it could offset some of the value in the coming months.

It depreciated the 128 GB Galaxy S22 Plus the fastest, losing 53.8 percent of its value in two months, equivalent to a loss of $ 574.99. Google’s worst result was the 256GB Pixel 6 Pro which recorded a loss of 45.7 percent or $ 479.

In the case of Apple, the 128GB iPhone 13 mini lost its highest value – 29.2 percent – after two months. The mini models didn’t perform well and won’t be refreshed, so it’s no surprise that the iPhone 13 mini was the worst. Most iPhone 13 mini models also continued to fall after the first month.

The 128GB iPhone 13 Pro Max was the best, losing just 3.8 percent in value after two months.
