Here's a reason why iPhone X is the 'best iPhone' to buy so far

If you have an iPhone X, then this news will certainly make you a bit happy about spending that exorbitant amount of money.

According to a report by 9to5Mac that quotes Liquidation specialist B-Stock, the iPhone X holds an average of 85% resale value as the demand for the used models is high.

This is true for not only individual buyers but also the bulk purchasers including organisations which are buying these second-hand iPhones at not less than 75% retail value.

As per B-Stock, this average resale value is significantly higher than other iPhone models even though they have the same life-cycle

The report further sheds light on the reason of this such high value suggesting that it is because of the high demand in US itself. As per the B-Stock report, 98% of the total iPhone X units are selling in US "with just 2% being sold abroad."


By adopting this strategy, those of who are keen to buy the iPhone "with a new form factor" are able to save some money and are not considering an alternate model for the reduced price.

Even though Apple products are known to hold high resale value when compared to devices from other manufacturers, but the 75-85% value of iPhone is record high, notes 9to5Mac.

Apple iPhone X's other records
The Apple iPhone X set a record by not only being the costliest iPhone so far but also by emerging as 'the hottest iPhone' during the second quarter for the Cupertino-based tech giant.

Dispelling all the fears about poor iPhone X sales, CEO Tim Cook had said during the earnings call, “Customers chose iPhone X more than any other iPhone each week in the March quarter, just as they did following its launch in the December quarter. We also grew revenue in all of our geographic segments, with over 20% growth in Greater China and Japan.”
