A Steep Decline for the Newest Model

The iPhone Air is not holding its value well. After just ten weeks on the market, it has lost nearly half its price. This is the biggest drop for any iPhone model in recent years.

Other iPhones, like the iPhone 17 and iPhone 15, are doing much better. They have lost less value in the same time.

Performance of Other iPhone Models

  • iPhone 17 Series: Lost about 34.6% of its value. This is better than last year's iPhone 16, which lost 39%.
  • iPhone 15: The best performer, losing only 31.9% of its value.
  • iPhone 14: In the middle, with a 36.6% drop.

The iPhone Air's Struggle

The iPhone Air is the worst performer. It has lost between 40.3% and 47.7% of its value. The 1TB model is the worst of all, losing almost half its value. This is a big problem for people who want to sell their iPhone Air.

Pro Models Hold Their Value Better

The iPhone 17 Pro models are doing well. They have lost less than 40% of their value, showing that people still want to buy them. The standard iPhone 17 is also doing okay, losing between 32.9% and 40.8% of its value.

A Concerning Trend

The iPhone Air is at the bottom of the list. Other iPhones have stopped losing value after ten weeks, but the iPhone Air keeps losing value. This might mean that people are not sure if they want to buy it.
