How much do phones depreciate after one year?
Flagship phones lose value fast—but that depreciation is your buying power if you shop Amazon Renewed.
The pattern
Most popular models settle well below launch MSRP within 12 months. Exact averages shift with storage, condition grade, and demand, which is why we track history on the comparison table.
How to shop smarter
- Start with the phone finder to set budget and condition tolerance.
- Compare savings % vs MSRP on the table—not just the sticker price.
- Open a model page like iPhone 14 or Galaxy S23 to see the trend.
