Like I mentioned in previous post I kept my 5C and posted my Nexus 5X for sale. Finally sold it today and took a huge loss on it! I had it posted for $200 but had to go lower. I'm disappointed that for a year old phone it's lost nearly half its value even in mint condition! I understand all items lose value and I didn't have a high end phone but seriously: it tanked in value. I went on offer up and saw how fast Apple products including the iPad 2 from 2011 were still holding value AND SELLING at $100-150. Apple seriously holds their value! Even 8gb iPhones were marked as sold for at least $100!
I previously had my 5C posted for sale before I decided ultimately to keep it and for a three year old+ phone people were willing to shell out $120 cash immediately. I know of no Android phone that would keep its value like the iPhone does. I'm glad I made the decision to switch to Apple. I'm sticking with them from now on especially with how high the resale value is on these phones.
I know other high end Androids like the Galaxy line keep their value for a little bit but even those start dropping while older iPhones stay at a good price. I guess in the end you do get what you pay for. I used to think iPhones were overpriced but now I'm starting to see that they're worth it.
