A few minutes ago I published in Actualidad iPhone the video review and analysis of the iPhone 5s and in it he made some statements that have caused much controversy. In the conclusions of my video review, I assured that going from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 5s is not a bad idea and that the iPhone 5 will be devalued. Many have taken these words as subjective opinions, but let's not forget that our job in a report of this type is to analyze data objectively. As a technology journalist, I not only cover the world of Apple, but also that of its competitors and I will have my more or less favorite gadgets, but above all my mission is to provide objective information.
And what does the data say? That devices Apple are the ones that maintain the most value over timeIn other words, it is much easier to resell an iPhone or an iPad than a Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3. You just have to look at platforms like eBay, Craigslist, and recycling programs to see that Apple products always hold the most value. Why do we say in our video analysis that iPhone 5 is going to lose value? Well, for the simple fact that Apple has already stopped marketing it. The iPhone 5 has left the chain of the apple company and is replaced by the new iPhone 5c. This means that, in a year, an iPhone 5c is going to have much more value than an iPhone 5, obviously. What is the best time to sell your iPhone 5 if you plan to acquire another in the short term? Now. The iPhone 5, when leaving Apple stores, will be the iPhone that loses value more quickly.
Surely the possessors of a XNUMXrd generation iPad They were not amused that Apple released the fourth generation iPad just half a year later since they acquired their iPad 3, why? Because the third-generation iPad automatically lost value, not only because Apple launched a new one shortly after, but also because it stopped being marketed and therefore less would be gained from its subsequent resale.
So it is a fact that the iPhone 5 is going to lose much more value than its predecessors in the months to come, not an opinion.

I think the opposite, with the iPad if there was an improvement .. with the 5c the only thing they have done has been to coat an iPhone 5 with worse materials (more striking), so I think that the 5 will sell quite well in 2nd hand and much better compared to the iPad you mention.
Well explained. You cannot doubt something so obvious.
Also, following your reasoning we can think that the 4S will lose less value than the 5 and in that I do not think it will happen.
I do not think that the iPhone 5 will lose so much value, rather I think that the first Apple TVs or the Mac mini with DVDs will happen just before Apple left them without. The Iphone 5 has something that no Iphone 5c will have, the noble materials from which it is made, the quality and finish of these (especially in White) that are totally comparable to the Iphone 5s and of course a system totally made to measure how it is. the IOS7 in which it unfolds like a fish in water. I rather think that it will be a highly sought after product in the second-hand market,
And that's why you delete the comments that don't interest you ... Anyway. The iPhone 5 is going to be much more valued second-hand than the iPhone 5C. Whatever you wear
Well, I prefer a metal iPhone a thousand times to a plastic one, I don't think it loses value, I prefer to keep my iPhone 5 than the one.
iPhone c that will have all the
World if the iPhone 3GS is still a good mobile and is not sold but everyone with their opinion 🙂
I prefer my iphone 5, the truth is that the iphone5c .. clearly I will go for the 5s, but while I stay with the 5 ^^ and that the price will drop .. it is clear that I will lower it, worse it will not lose quality .. and for second hand it will be sold very well and not very discounted either .. I think I'm going ^^
A fact will be if it is confirmed. Meanwhile, whether you like it or not, it is an opinion, more or less qualified. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, I would always pay more money for a 5 than for a 5C
It has happened every year with iPhones and iPads, it is a fact.
You are contradicting yourself. "It has happened every year" (past tense). What happens in the future will be a fact when it happens, and will coincide with previous years or not. Example: every year the price of the house went up. Until it stopped.
"The iPhone 5, upon leaving Apple stores, will be the iPhone to lose value the fastest."
that is not the same. or you express yourself badly. I don't know what you meant then!
The second-hand price, being the only way to get it, will go up. What will cause the price to drop will be on the 5th.
Above if we take into account that the iphone 5c is internally the same as the 5 and externally it is of better quality…. For me it would be a big surprise if they lower the price of 5 second-hand
What a way of arguing, "this is so because I say so, period, and therefore it is a fact!" Let me give my humble opinion: As I think your argument is totally wrong, since for the first time since the first iPhone came out in its renewal they have taken out two terminals instead of one, one of them with components identical to the terminal from the previous year , and that can make, unlike other years, a terminal lose less value. Of course he will lose, but perhaps with this move by Apple they have done a favor to the owners of an iPhone 5, he would have lost more value of the account if the 5c had come out for 400 euros, in that case he would agree with your argument, but it has not been so.
I support you completely, enough is enough Pablo, enough is enough Actualidad iPhone, we come here because you always keep us informed, with a point of view like no other website does, but enough of so many excuses, so many assumptions and trying to make us coco-wash with your theories. They used to be a respectable website, and readers are increasingly disliking them. Something that you can see in their comments, in the number of positive ratings that the comments have that as far as you are concerned are "troll comments." This is being told by another reader who won't make a difference, but who has been loyal to them for years, and who lately I have stopped visiting this blog because of the poor content and the nonsensical arguments. My congratulations to Nacho, the only one who pays attention to readers' comments (like when iOS 7 came out and told us to be patient). And the only one who has the PANTS to admit what is happening in the world of Apple,
I really think the opposite, the iPhone 5 being a team with specifications equal to the 5c but with better construction material, and even more so that it will not be sold more by Apple, it will maintain its price much longer, since there are only some stocks left and They will no longer be manufactured and who removes them and they will be sold to collectors, and although each one has their own opinion, anyone with 4 heads of brain will prefer to buy aluminum over plastic, since it is more premium. regards
A question that I have not answered before here, if I have an iPhone 5 still under warranty and it is damaged, for which model will I change it in the Apple Store?
By himself
I still think that the iPhone 5 will continue to have more value than the 5c because the materials are better and now that people are no longer going to be marketed I would prefer to buy a normal 5 than the 5c, which is made of plastic only because of its material
It may actually lose value, but the truth is that if this year they released an iPhone with the same features as last year, it means that my iPhone 5 is going to be supported for much longer than any other iPhone released by Apple .. I already have a year with him ... I hope my argument is understood
It will not drop in price, between buying a plastic 5c and looking for the 5 I prefer a thousand times the 5 quality and elegance, so people who know. Look for 5. And thinking that they are no longer manufactured. More will be the demand. It will be like a limited edition item, my humble opinion, I have an iphone 5 and I know it is much better than the 5c. Greetings
To be a journalist, you don't have much control over your vocabulary. A fact is, as the word itself indicates, something that has already happened, therefore it is wrong to call a future act or circumstance a fact.
If the iphone 5c in essence is a cheap version of the 5, I cannot imagine in a year in resale that a 5c is worth more than a 5
exactly! among other things because the hardware will be the same old (2 years) and worse materials, colors, etc ...
I do not see that the iphone 5c is the substitute for the 5.
Rather, the 5s is the substitute and not as you say in the post that it is the 5c, which for me is a step backwards in Apple and the low cost makes me vomit reading it every day.
The iphone 5 has a design and aesthetics that the 5c will never have. And if I had to buy one of the iPhones in the second-hand market it would not be the 5c of course.
This comes down to something very simple and that is that the iPhone 5 has better materials than the 5c. And if it was removed from the market, it is for the simple fact that people when choosing between the 5c and the 5 for a negligible price difference, would always have chosen the 5.
You can see that whoever wrote the note is a fool. "… It is a fact that the iPhone 5 is going to lose much more value than its predecessors in the months to come, not an opinion." I totally disagree.
My current iphone is one of the ones you mention discontinued, but I think your comment is not very wise,
iPhone 5 White att 64Gb,
the 5c or 64gb arrives, 🙂
If they take out a plastic ipad 5, with the same hardware characteristics as the ipad 4, does my ipad 4 lose value?
The iPhone 5 is pretty much the same as the 5S on the outside, that's the biggest reason why people will prefer the 5 to the 5C. From my point of view, the iPhones 5C are the ones that will devalue the fastest.
I think like many of you. I see more logical that it acquires more value, since it will be impossible to buy it in store. It is sure to be the object of desire for many lovers of the brand and collectors. It would be stupid that a product with worse materials and the same entrails that I can buy whenever I want in the store is worth more than another one that is impossible to find except second-hand….
Between € 350-450 is the value in the second-hand market right now the 16GB model, depending on the state, if it is free, etc.
for the editor: well, nothing, majete, the change from 4S to 5 that you want to do is going to be cheap for you because of the ***** tip.
the friend is comfortable, eh? well me too!
delete comments, delete ...
you will come to ask for followers somewhere else ...
ainssss….
I honestly do not understand, many of the comments posted here. Pablo's article is an article of reasoned opinion, we can agree or not, but it is not as I have read "because I said so, period" he reasoned it.
I personally, who always keep two fully operational iPhones, currently 5 and 4S, will sell the 4S, but this is not why I say that Pablo is crazy or is not right, his arguments are rejected, but as almost always everyone is free to do what that it deems appropriate.
A greeting.
Reasoned? say that the iphone5 will lose more value than normal because Apple no longer distributes it and replaces it with a model of the same features (one year old), with worse materials and finishes, and horrible colors ... is that to give an opinion reasoned?
Another "reasoned" opinion: without an iPhone2014C with 6S hardware leaked in May 5, the price of the 5C will plummet.
another: if in May 2014 there are no leaks of a 6C, the price of the 5C will plummet even more!
and so on, to infinity and beyond !! 🙂
you're already going for the same thing as the "colleague" on the web next door.
It is a fact that your arguments have neither head nor tail ...
Let's see who buys a second-hand 5c and can buy a 5 ...
Nonsense, for lack of money, I will barely buy the iPhone 5 and I don't care what it is. 5c is the new one at the same price simply the design of the 5 is triple better than the 5c, and. Also I must say that I do not see much difference between 5 and 5s
For me it is a question of the market, they cannot maintain a team with practically the same characteristics but with a more simple manufacturing material, although it has a more youthful design, there are two teams, one elegant and executive on the 5s and the other modern and youthful on the 5c, so it hinders them. The one that without spending so much complies with the two characteristics of performance, aesthetics and price that is why they took it off the market and thus they force you to buy if you have enough money on the 5s but if you cannot afford the 5c for the lucky ones who bought the 5 nor to worry about because it will be several years before Apple recovers from this error.
A question. When the price of the second-hand iphone 5 will drop, when the new iphone comes out (the supposed iPhone 6, I say of course because with the names, Apple can put anyone, like the ipad 3 that everyone said and in the end They put a new third generation ipad, which by the way I have one and I felt terrible about taking another half a year after taking it out, but the ipad 3 is also very good and I am happy XD) or when they start to sell the iphone in the Store and I wanted to take one and I do not know if I will have to wait until they take it out in September, they announce it more than anything else, or when they start selling them in Spain. Thank you very much in advance.
