Apple's Foldable iPhone Could Lose Up to $1,300 in Value Within One Year, But Retains Better Resale Value Than Android Competitors

According to research from SellCell, Apple's foldable iPhone, expected to launch this fall at approximately $2,000, could depreciate by up to $1,300 within one year. However, the study found that iPhone foldables would likely retain significantly more value than competitors' folding phones. Foldable phones across brands average a 64.6% annual depreciation rate, compared to 55.3% for traditional smartphones. Apple's product line historically maintains stronger resale value than rivals—iPhone 16 series phones retain 51.5% of their value after one year, compared to Samsung's 39.5%, Google's 40.8%, and OnePlus's 46.8%. If Apple's foldable follows this pattern, it could retain around $1,030 in value, losing approximately $970 less than other folding phones.
