A common practice most people have these days is to wait for second-hand or slightly used devices to come out with the hope of getting some price offs. Some will show a sharp decline while others don't.
As far as the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is concerned, don't expect the resale value to plummet as fast as other iPhone models. A look at some of the online sites right now shows the iPhone 6 still priced at about 72% of its original price meaning it may take time before it does penetrate the affordable bracket.
Comparing it to previous iPhone models such as the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, the disparity in price is notable.
For the iPhone 5S, resale of devices is slightly lower at 60% while the iPhone 5C is down to about 48%. Other global sites may have it slightly higher but in all, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus still racks in quite a price even if it is slightly used.
While the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is relatively new to the market, the slight depreciation is expected. Until perhaps a new iPhone (probably by the Fall) comes out, it remains to be seen if the trend in pricing would continue.
The steep prices have been a concern for aspiring iPhone buyers and many are hoping to get some savings as much as they can. However it doesn't change the fact that the device is still pretty much in high demand.
A dramatic price drop right now is far from happening at least perhaps the next model comes out but it does offer an encouraging direction as far as Apple iPhone sales are concerned.
So will the next models push the resale price of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus lower? There is a chance but if you compare it to the rate that older models showed, such could result in an improved share by Apple when it comes to the high-end smartphone segment.
