The yet-to-be-released fourth-generation iPhone SE may face problems retaining value in the secondary market, which casts doubt on its ability to compete with the brand’s flagship models in this regard.

As Day.Az reports with reference to Gazeta.ru, this was reported by the MacRumors portal with reference to an analytical study by the SellCell company.

It is noted that all iPhone SE models traditionally depreciate faster than Apple’s flagship smartphones. For example, the third-generation iPhone SE, released in March 2022, lost 42.6% of its original value just a month after its debut.

At the same time, the iPhone 13 over the same period of time showed a decrease in cost by only 18.7%, and after three months its price stabilized. The iPhone 14 and 15 lines demonstrate even greater resistance to depreciation. This phenomenon highlights the differences in value retention between budget and flagship models.

Despite rumors about the fourth-generation iPhone SE’s design being similar to the iPhone 14, including a 6.1-inch OLED display and a Face ID scanner instead of Touch ID, the new budget model could continue the trend and quickly depreciate in value. This, in turn, could influence users’ decision to buy the next iPhone SE, especially if they plan to sell the device profitably on the secondary market in the future.

The fourth generation iPhone SE is expected to be introduced in 2025. The smartphone is credited with the largest update in the line: the abandonment of the Home button and fingerprint scanner, as well as the transition from Lightning to USB-C and the introduction of an action button, as in the iPhone 15 Pro.
