What is the depreciation curve on Apple products?

[Jim Gramze]

I'd like to see graphic curves over time for the resale value ? say Gazelle ? of various Apple products over time. This goes to how long the products hold value, and how the initial steep drop levels off. This can affect buying cycles and help people decide how long in general to hold onto their devices. This can also take into consideration memory, drive, and processor upgrades. My suspicion is that for resale value you want to minimally upgrade your device, but for personal use in the meantime upgrades can be of great value.

I haven't seen a study done by Apple. I glanced through the web and saw various charts that answer your question. I don't feel comfortable posting any since it would give me the impression that I'm advocating for one.

You're trying to overthink this. This kind of information is useless in practical application. IMHO!
