The Time Might Be Now
If you are interested in upgrading or changing out your phone, then there are better times than others to do so. Research shows that you can predict, at least to a degree, good times to try to sell your old device to put away some cash for a new one, and good times to buy new devices. Have a look at some information here –
Consider annual expected release dates for smartphones. We don’t always know in advance when exactly a new phone or tablet will be released, but we can guess. For instance, many are speculating, based off past release dates, that the iPhone 7 will be released in September of 2016. So when is a good time to sell your current device? Well, if you want to make some extra cash to put towards an upgraded device, think about selling just before the new one will be released to the public. This way, you’ll have money set aside if you are looking to buy brand new.
Or…
Wait until the price of the new phone drops a bit. This generally happens within 6 months – you will see up to a 30% drop (on average) in price. So if you don’t have a huge chunk of change to spend right away and can afford to wait, think about doing so. At least for a few months. There are also promotions generally after the holidays, as businesses are attempting to get rid of devices that didn’t sell.
In a nutshell, wait until after the holidays or up to 6 months after a new phone or tablet is released if you want the best deal!
