“Many consumers might think the iPhone is too expensive but when it comes to trading in that iPhone a few years later that phone will actually put more money back in your pocket than other phone brands.” ~ Sarah McConomy, COO of SellCell

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

The world’s largest cell phone trade-in price comparison site, SellCell.com, has released a new cost comparison survey that details which cell phones will be worth the most two years after purchase.

The SellCell analysis looked at the five most popular brands on the market – iPhone, Samsung, Google, Sony and LG – and compared their 2018 MSRP with their trade in value this month.

Industry statistics show 51 percent of iPhone users upgrade every 2 years while 47 percent say they wait until their phone stops working. Roughly 40 percent of Android users upgrade every 2 years while 58 percent wait until their phone stops working. Nearly all of these cell phones are resold on the market or traded-in with the mobile carrier.

The SellCell analysis found the iPhone XR (64 GB) maintained the most value when it was resold or traded in for a new phone, depreciating by 53 percent. Researchers with SellCell found the LG G7 ThinQ (64 GB) was worth the least amount of money, losing nearly 90 percent of its value over the same 2-year period.

The COO of SellCell, Sarah McConomy, said the analysis compared prices across 35 popular cell phone trade-in companies on the web – including Amazon, Gazelle, Decluttr and others. Pricing was calculated by the average trade-in price pulled from each buyback company.

“Many consumers might think the iPhone is too expensive but when it comes to trading in that iPhone a few years later that phone will actually put more money back in your pocket than other phone brands,” said McConomy. “Compare that to other brands on the market and you will see the phone is worth far less 2 years later.”

McConomy said the biggest drop in value comes as the manufacturer prepares to launch a new model. She recommends consumers try to sell their device prior to a new model coming out to prevent the biggest drops in price. For example, the 2018 MSRP for the iPhone XS Max (64 GB) was $1099 when it was unveiled. In October, 2019, that phone could be sold for $580, but today it’s only worth $475.

In contrast, the 2018 MSRP for the LG G7 ThinQ (64 GB) was $749 and worth $112 in October 2019. Today, it can be sold for $77 in the resellers market.

A Closer Look at the SellCell Cost Comparison Analysis

The following data from SellCell shows the phone’s 2018 MSRP, the depreciation rate as of June 2020, and the average resale value of the phone when using SellCell to trade it in right now.

iPhone XS Max (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $1099 depreciates by 56.8% to 2020 resale value of $475

iPhone XS (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $999 depreciates by 56% to 2020 resale value of $440

iPhone XR (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $749 depreciates by 53.2% to 2020 resale value of $350.75

Samsung Galaxy S9+ (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $840 depreciates by 75.6% to 2020 resale value of $205

Samsung Galaxy S9 (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $719 depreciates by 75.9% to 2020 resale value of $173

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (128 GB): 2018 MSRP $1000 depreciates by 72.4% to 2020 resale value of $276

Google Pixel 3 XL (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $899 depreciates by 79.1% to 2020 resale value of $188

Google Pixel 3 (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $799 depreciates by 79.2% to 2020 resale value of $166

Sony X22 Premium (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $999 depreciates by 87.2% to 2020 resale value of $127.6

Sony X22 (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $799 depreciates by 86.9% to 2020 resale value of $105

LG V40 ThinQ (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $900 depreciates by 83.6% to 2020 resale value of $147.40

LG G7 ThinQ (64 GB): 2018 MSRP $749 depreciates by 89.7% to 2020 resale value of $77

SellCell Provides Tips for Retaining a Phone’s Value

According to SellCell’s cost comparison survey, a cracked screen could reduce an iPhone’s resale value by as much as 46.4 percent, while a cracked screen on a Google Pixel can decrease the value by up to 63 percent. Even deep scratches and dings on an iPhone can see almost 20 percent off its value when traded-in. Ordinary light wear and tear will depreciate a device by only 1 – 7 percent.

McConomy says consumers can take several actions to increase the value of their phone for resale, like buying a case that will protect the phone overtime.

“If you decide to trade-in a phone that is locked, get it unlocked before you sell it. Carriers should unlock it for free once if the phone is paid off,” said McConomy. “The trade-in price for an unlocked phone will always be much higher than one that is locked to a particular carrier like Verizon or AT&T for instance. And spending $10 on a case will definitely pay off over time, preventing scratches and water or moisture damage.”

A Look at How Trade In Values Are Reduced if the Phone is Damaged

iPhone 7 (32 GB): Like new condition trades in for $110, but faulty condition depreciates by 46.4% to $59

iPhone 7 Plus (32 GB): Like new condition trades in for $193, but faulty condition depreciates by 25.9% to $143

iPhone XS (64 GB): Like new condition trades in for $471, but faulty condition depreciates by 30.8% to $326

iPhone XS Max (64 GB): Like new condition trades in for $483, but faulty condition depreciates by 18% to $396

Galaxy S10 (128 GB): Like new condition trades in for $371, but faulty condition depreciates by 23.5% to $284

Galaxy S10+ (128 GB): Like new condition trades in for $396, but faulty condition depreciates by 23% to $305

Google Pixel 4 (64 GB): Like new condition trades in for $341, but faulty condition depreciates by 58.9% to $140

Google Pixel 4 XL (64 GB): Like new condition trades in for $407, but faulty condition depreciates by 63.1% to $150

“At The Spero Clinic, instead of just treating the pain, we focus on the body as a whole, helping patients go into complete remission with non-invasive and holistic treatments,” said Dr. Katinka. “Our team is here to remind you that hope is alive.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (PRWEB)

Dr. Katinka van der Merwe, the creator of the world’s leading 12 week pain relief program, has been the most requested guest on the True Grit and Grace podcast.

After being diagnosed with CRPS about 10 years ago, Amberly Lago, the host of the True Grit and Grace podcast, understands the impact of chronic pain. Dubbed “the suicide disease,” CRPS often leads to feelings of hopelessness and depression in those suffering. In this podcast, Dr. Katinka stresses the importance of maintaining hope and having a support team during remission, along with incorporating the body, mind, and spirit into the treatment process.

“At The Spero Clinic, instead of just treating the pain, we focus on the body as a whole, helping patients go into complete remission with non-invasive and holistic treatments,” said Dr. Katinka. “Our team is here to remind you that hope is alive.”

Dr. Katinka and Amberly also touch on how chronic pain patients should practice healthy eating habits, providing helpful nutrition tips to those diagnosed with CRPS. While it’s essential to maintain your physical health, patients should first focus on having a resilient mindset to overcome the physical and emotional pain that comes with CRPS.

AppointmentPlus™

“AppointmentPlus has had a surprisingly positive impact on us. By controlling the flow of visitors, it has allowed us to plan around activities more easily and plan our staffing better. We are going to make it a regular part of the visitation process,”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (PRWEB)
June 24, 2020

The geographic epicenter for the pandemic has shifted over time, with Latin America currently holding that unfortunate title. But what has not changed is that nursing homes and other long-term care facilities have consistently reported high levels of pandemic-related cases and deaths. Many experts refer to these types of facilities as the true epicenter for the spread of the virus.

As a result, many of these senior care centers have stopped allowing visitors. For residents and their loved ones, this has been devastating. At a time in their lives in which love, support, and encouragement from family and friends is essential, residents feel more isolated than ever. While phone and video calls help, there is no replacement for seeing the ones you love.

But a trend has emerged recently among these facilities. Instead of completely banning all visitors, they are having them make visitation appointments.

AppointmentPlus, an online appointment scheduling system, has seen a surge in demand from these senior care providers. Bob La Loggia, AppointmentPlus CEO, stated, “Ever since the tragedy at Life Care Center in Kirkland, seniors have remained the highest risk age group. And to have long-term care residents being cut off from loved ones has been heart-wrenching. But with so many facilities now moving to online visit scheduling, it’s encouraging to know that residents now have a safe, controlled way to see family and friends.”

With AppointmentPlus, you can easily space out appointment times and set a maximum number of visitors at any given time. This makes the application particularly well-suited to these centers. It also can be implemented in a matter of hours. This allows busy caregivers to focus on those they serve and not on setting up software.

Many of these nursing homes and other assisted living facilities have noted that they plan to continue using the system even after the pandemic has subsided. “AppointmentPlus has had a surprisingly positive impact on us. By controlling the flow of visitors, it has allowed us to plan around activities more easily and plan our staffing better. We are going to make it a regular part of the visitation process,” said a director at a senior care center in Virginia.

AppointmentPlus is based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Over 10,000 locations use the system, including many nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. Nearly a billion appointments have been booked through the platform since inception. To learn more about AppointmentPlus, visit our website at https://www.appointmentplus.com/.

Consulting can go beyond diagnosing patients. Healthcare professionals can discover different ways to organize and assess various medical staff and discuss governance strategies and structures.

Medical consultations are vital to save the lives of many—even the process of making the structure of healthcare organizations more efficient benefits the health of patients. “In Depth” will discuss more consulting within healthcare systems details in the new episode.
