Hear me out on this…
If the price of Apple products is increasing, shouldn’t the price of used Apple products also increase (Trade in offers from Apple)? This supply-driven price increase is a new phenomenon for Apple products - very new and very different than what we’ve ever seen - Tim Cook has said the same... We’re in outlier territory. Technology has always toed the line of new tech/better tech for (inflation adjusted) the same price over time. That just changed.
But this isn’t really new. It’s happened with cars, homes… Prices spike up. But the offset has always been, your existing asset increased in value too - new cars spiked in price…. used cars increase in price… helping existing owners bridge the increase.
If Apple is going to increase the price of its new products (inevitably iPhones)… what about the used market? It goes both ways. Right? Apple?
