iPhone 17 projected to tank in value faster than Galaxy S26
Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max | Image Credits - PhoneArena For the longest time, Apple's iPhone was the top smartphone for value retention. While the iPhone 16 is still depreciating at a slower rate than the Galaxy S25, the gap has been narrowing, and if the current trend continues, the Galaxy S26 might outdo the iPhone 17 in holding start losing value the moment you unbox them. While this may not matter to you if you keep the same phone for three and a half years - which is the average upgrade cycle - or more, it's something to take into account if you care about resale value. The iPhone had traditionally held its value better than Android phones, but SellCell's latest report shows that the depreciation rate has been increasing with each successive generation. As an example, the 2020 iPhone 12 series had lost 25.2% of its value nine months after its release. The iPhone 15 had depreciated by 34.3% within the first nine months. For the iPhone 16 , that figure stands at around 34.7%. iPhone vs Galaxy S vs Galaxy Z Fold vs Pixel depreciation over the years. | Image Credit - SellCell The reverse appears to be true for Samsung Galaxy S series phones, with the recent generations getting better at resisting depreciation. In its fifth month, the Galaxy S22 had lost a staggering 51.9% of its value. During the same period, the Galaxy S24 had plunged in value by 47.3%. The Galaxy S25 faced a depreciation of 46.6 percent in its first five months. It's not just the Galaxy S25 that's depreciating at a slower rate than its predecessors. The same appears to be true for Samsung's foldable phones as well as the Google Pixel 9. It appears that Samsung and Google's latest phones are depreciating at a slower rate due their compelling AI features. Apple, on the other hand, is behind in AI, which might explain why the iPhone 16 is losing value at a faster clip than prior generations. Regardless, the iPhone 16 is still ahead of the pack when it comes to depreciation. It had lost 35.4% of its value five months after it went on sale, compared to Galaxy S25 's depreciation rate of 46.6% and Pixel 9 's rate of 56.9%. That said, if the current trend persists, by mid-2026, the Galaxy S and the iPhone may lose value at a similar rate, with Samsung's lineup potentially surpassing Apple's smartphones in value retention between mid-2026 and 2028. The Galaxy S26 might hold its value better than the iPhone 17 if things keep heading in the same direction. | Image Credit - SellCel Of course, the rumored iPhone 17 might flip the trend on its head with its redesigned rear and triple 48MP camera system. The phone is unlikely to be markedly superior to the Galaxy S26 , though, which could feature AI tools from OpenAI and Perplexity AI to supplement those already offered by Google's Gemini. Based on that, it's safe to assume that in the not-so-distant future, the Galaxy S, and not the iPhone, will command the highest price in the second-hand market.

All-new Galaxy Watch 8 is definitely worth checking out after Samsung & Amazon's latest offers
If you're a Samsung fan looking for a new smartwatch and aren't into extreme stuff like rock climbing, mountain biking, and so on, chances are you're eyeing either the Galaxy Watch 8 or the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic — Samsung's latest and greatest smartwatches for non-outdoor aficionados. While the Classic model definitely looks fancy, you probably lean more towards the regular variant, especially if you want to spend as little as possible and don't go on gala evenings or business meetings all that often. And if the Galaxy Watch 8 is on your radar, now is a great time to act fast and get one on Trade-in $149 99 $349 99 $200 off (57%) Trade in an eligible device to save up to $200 on the Galaxy Watch 8. Bundle it with a pair of Galaxy Buds to save on the add-on as well. In case you don't have a device to trade, you can still save $50, which goes as an extra discount toward the Galaxy Buds. Act fast and save while you can! Buy at Samsung Gift While the Galaxy Watch 8 isn't discounted on Amazon, you can score a $50 promotional credit with your purchase by redeeming promo code APSUE5MBXB6Y. You can use the $50 credit to get something else on the platform for free. Buy at Amazon By trading in an eligible device, you can shave up to a whopping $200 off this bad boy's price. You can also bundle it with a pair of Galaxy Buds 3 or Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and score a sweet discount on the earphones as well. But even if you don't have a device to trade, you can still score $50 in the form of Samsung Instant Credit, which translates to the earbuds, lowering their price even further. So, we'd say this deal is perfect if you want to upgrade your wrist game and your listening experience for less. Alternatively, you can get a Galaxy Watch 8 on Amazon, where you can claim a $50 promotional credit to use toward something else on the platform. So while the watch isn't discounted, you can still score some savings by getting it from deal you choose, we don't believe you'll have any buyer's remorse. We reviewed Samsung's latest timepiece, and we must say we were quite pleased by how sleek it looks and how lightweight and slim it feels. Of course, it's more than just a pretty face, as it's loaded with features and boasts all the functionalities you'd expect from a wearable like this. An interesting feature is the new vascular load tracking, which allows the watch to monitor the pressure your arteries are experiencing over time. There's also a new running coach functionality, which turns your Galaxy Watch 8 into exactly that — a coach that builds a plan to help you reach your running goals. On top of that, you also get all the standard bells and whistles Wear OS offers, including fast and easy access to the Google Play Store, where you can download third-party apps. All in all, the Galaxy Watch 8 is definitely worth getting. In fact, its only downside is probably the fact that it delivers just a day to a day and a half of battery life. Still, that's completely normal for a smartwatch like this, and we believe it's something you can get used to, especially since the pros outweigh the cons. So, if it checks all the right boxes for you, too, act fast and save while you can!
