Apple is gearing up for its annual tech event in September, signaling the imminent arrival of the latest iPhone models. Speculations suggest that on September 9th, Apple may unveil the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, alongside a rumored slimline iPhone 17 Air.
Current iPhone owners, especially those with models like the iPhone 14, 15, and 16, are advised to act swiftly as the resale value of older devices typically drops significantly when new models hit the market. Experts predict a potential decrease of up to £300 for existing models.
Sam Wilson, Director at Gadget GoGo, highlighted the importance of timing in selling older iPhones, noting that waiting until after new models are announced can lead to a saturated market and diminished resale values. Premium models like the Pro and Pro Max versions are expected to experience the most significant decline in value.
While Apple offers trade-in options, individuals eyeing the iPhone 17 are encouraged to evaluate their current device’s worth to secure the best deal. Although the iPhone 17 may not be available in stores until later next month, having a temporary device for trade-in purposes is advisable.
As for the features of the upcoming iPhone 17, Apple has remained tight-lipped until the official launch event. However, rumors suggest upgrades such as a revamped appearance, faster processor, enhanced cameras, extended battery life, updated color choices, and the introduction of the ultra-sleek iPhone 17 Air.
Stay tuned for further updates on the iPhone 17 from Mirror Online as more information becomes available.
