What percentage are you losing when you sell your iPhone?

How's the resale on these things holding up after, say, 1 year, 2 years, etc.?

You can look at going rates and averages on Swappa.com.

They're pretty decent.
They hold their value better than most smartphones out there.
Especially if you dont have many scratches, dings or dents then you could sell fast.
For my 2 year old unlocked i6 Plus I could get about $400-420 right now and that's about 60% back so a 40% loss with 2 years of use.

I checked out this series last year before selling my phone. Article 1 uses data to predict how resale values are effected by the new release. Article 2 shows how resale value holds up a few weeks after the release of the new iPhone. Article 3 shows resale value after a 6 month period.
