Impending iPhone Launch Makes Mobile Recycling Imperative
Wednesday, August 26, 2015 - 09:38:30
Anyone who is excited about the launch of the next generation of the iPhone family, which is set to occur at some point in September, may want to think about selling their current handset now to prepare to make their purchase once the time is right.
This is because the arrival of any new Apple product results in a reshuffling of the used mobile market, with supply of second-hand iPhones often exceeding demand and the value of older models going down as people rush to recycle their unwanted handsets to make way for an upgrade.
Although it has not been officially confirmed, it seems likely that the next iPhone will be known as the 6S, featuring the same 4.7 inch display as its predecessor while coming with a more powerful processor as well as the brand new iOS 9 software.
There should also be a 6S Plus, which will be an updated version of Apple’s phablet that has a 5.5 inch screen and all of the same bells and whistles as the standard iPhone 6S.
Insiders are also reporting that the iPhone 6C will be making its debut next month, with a more affordable price point and colourful design allowing it to be the natural successor to the iPhone 5C.
It may even sport a four-inch screen to make it appealing to those who are not keen on the size increase that has been applied to Apple’s current range of mobiles.
Mobile Industry Review reports that you can get up to £500 when you sell an old iPhone to a recycling firm or via a private ad listing, ensuring that you will have enough cash to make the upgrade to a new model when they finally go on sale within the next four weeks.
