The graph of the iPhone 12 series is quite interesting. Initially, all the iPhone 12 models lost their value, but they’re quick to gain it back. Out of the lot, as expected, iPhone 12 mini depreciated the most losing 41% of its value after just six months of buying it.

Apple is just about two months away from announcing its iPhone 13 lineup. The new lineup is expected to come with a bunch of major improvements, such as a 120Hz display, bigger and better cameras, enhanced A15 Bionic chip, and better 5G support.
