Will the iPhone 5s become cheaper? iPhones are getting cheaper very quickly

“Sevens” work quickly, don’t sink, take pictures well (especially Plus) and are not afraid of falls even without covers. True, you should strictly buy a “matte black” iPhone 7 - “glossy black” collects scratches even from contact with air.

Apple iPhone 6 32 GB

An acceptable device for those who need a cheap iPhone, but the SE's four inches seemed too small. The "Six" came out a long time ago, it has little RAM (1 GB - guaranteed application crash), and this year it will receive the last update in its life.

This is where the list of complaints ends - otherwise the iPhone 6 is a very nice phone with an excellent screen, a normal camera and a lag-free processor. Now they are asking 22-23 thousand rubles for this model - an adequate price if you are allergic to Android.

Unprofitable options

Apple iPhone 5s 16 GB

The famous old man is still for sale - moreover, he will come out first if you arrange iPhones from the cheapest to the most expensive.

"fives" has been around for more than four years - it won't do without brakes. Fourthly, 5s is deprived of the most convenient Apple Pay.

It also has an ancient camera and a dead battery, so if your budget is very limited, there are two scenarios: save up and get an iPhone SE, or suck it up and buy something on Android.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus

6 Plus is a legend of service centers: according to local repairmen, absolutely everything breaks down on the first “Plus” in history. The speakers hiss and lose volume, the screen ripples and stops responding to touches, the battery heats up and begins to discharge quickly, and the camera periodically simply refuses to work. In general, a real gentleman's set for the most patient people.

You can save space only when you save money, for example, when buying an iPhone SE for 20 thousand. But here it’s a completely different story: there’s no point in paying more than 500 euros for an iPhone from the year before last, and then also regularly cleaning the memory.

It’s much smarter not to be greedy, but to report 7 thousand, take an iPhone 7 with 128 gigabytes and save yourself from unnecessary gestures.

Today we will be shown new iPhone models. True, not all users will be interested in new items.

We already know almost everything.🤷🏻‍♂️

Apple's autumn presentation will most likely confirm all the summer leaks that gradually revealed details of the iPhone Xs.

How much should prices for older iPhone models drop and how quickly will prices for the previous generation of smartphones drop? Should we expect serious discounts?

For this year’s presentation, Yandex.Market analysts studied how the cost of iPhones over the past two years has changed.

* The price of a model on Yandex.Market is the average price of all offers that users clicked on, weighted by the number of clicks on each offer.

2016 iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus

The Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus smartphones, introduced on September 7, 2016, dropped noticeably in price just a month after the start of sales.

iPhone 7 32GB: 58,000 rub. – 37,000 rub.
The difference was 21 thousand rubles.

iPhone 7 128GB: 68,000 rub. – 43,000 rub.
The difference was 25 thousand rubles.

iPhone 7 Plus 32GB: 72,000 rub. – 46,000 rub.
The difference was 26 thousand rubles.

iPhone 7 Plus 128GB: 80,000 rub. – 51,000 rub.
The difference was 29 thousand rubles.

iPhone 7 Plus 256GB: 140,000 rub. – 55,000 rub.
The difference was 85 thousand rubles.

The iPhone 7 Plus 256GB fell in price the most during this time. By March 2018, prices for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus fell by an average of 30%, who would have thought!

By April, one could talk about the stabilization of moderate prices for these models, if not for the sharp jump in the dollar exchange rate against the ruble (from 57.2 rubles per dollar to 64 rubles).

After the jump, prices expectedly skyrocketed by 3-5 thousand, depending on the model. Subsequently, the price gradually decreased until the presentation of new models.

2017 iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X

In September 2017, Apple introduced three new smartphone models (iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X). The first two went on sale within a couple of weeks, but the revolutionary iPhone X had to wait until November.

iPhone 8 64GB: 52,000 rub.. – 43,000 rub.

iPhone 8 256GB: 63,000 rub. – 54,000 rub.
The difference was 9 thousand rubles.

iPhone 8 Plus 64GB: 61,000 rub. – 55,000 rub.
The difference was 6 thousand rubles.

iPhone 8 Plus 256GB: 70,000 rub. – 65,000 rub.
The difference was 5 thousand rubles.

In general, prices for iPhone 8 and 8 Plus managed to fall by as much as 10-12%. Compared to previous models, the difference seems ridiculous.

A reduction in the cost of a smartphone by 5-9 thousand rubles cannot be compared with the wild difference of 85 thousand rubles for previous Apple gadgets for the same period.

iPhone X 64GB: 83,000 rub. – 60,000 rub.
The difference was 23 thousand rubles.

iPhone X 256GB: 92,000 rub. – 72,000 rub.
The difference was 20 thousand rubles.

The “Ten” was waited too long, so everything is clear with the prices: the impressive price reduction compared to the start of sales is due to the disappointment of many “X” owners, who mostly switched to the iPhone 8 after several months of owning the iPhone X.

Prices for the iPhone X rose during the first week after release, and then within a month they dropped 7% lower than they were on the first day of sales.

After which the decline continued: if at the beginning the iPhone X 64GB cost about 83 thousand rubles, then by March the price had dropped to 65 thousand rubles.

Apart from the first days of sales, during which outbids are arranged, prices for iPhones do not change, remaining at a high level.

Only after 2-3 months the cost begins to slowly fall. By spring, prices stabilize and then change slightly - except for fluctuations associated with the dynamics of the dollar exchange rate.

Consequently, It’s profitable to buy a smartphone after the winter and spring holidays: by this point the price is already significantly lower than the starting price, and there is still six months left before the new model appears.

- iPhone Xs with a diagonal of 5.8 inches: estimated price $1079
- iPhone Xs Plus with a diagonal of 6.5 inches: estimated price $1225
- iPhone Xc with a diagonal of 6.1 inches: estimated price $860

When converting to the ruble, the exchange rate of which has been extremely unstable in recent weeks, the situation does not appear rosy.

Taking into account the above, it can be assumed that prices on the 2016 model they will drop by 5-10 thousand rubles depending on the model. Most likely, the iPhone 6s will be completely removed from sale, and prices for the “Seven” will drop to the current level of the iPhone 6s.

- iPhone 7 32Gb: approximate price 30 thousand rubles
- iPhone 7 Plus 32Gb: approximate price 39 thousand rubles

As for the previous year's models, we should also expect a significant reduction in prices.

The company is finally abandoning the proprietary round button with built-in Touch ID. It seems to me that the logo of the future presentation is a kind of “nod” to the famous button on the front surfaces of the company’s smartphones, starting with the first model presented back in January 2007.

Therefore, we can expect an obvious price revision from Apple for the latest models in this series (iPhone 8/iPhone 8 Plus). Here prices should drop by 10%.

- iPhone 8 64Gb: approximate price 41 thousand rubles.
- iPhone 8 Plus 64Gb: approximate price 49 thousand rubles.

Perhaps in 2-3 years, smartphones with recognizable round buttons will finally leave Apple Stores and only models with Face ID will be available to consumers.

Following the opinion of the leading analyst:

In my opinion, Apple must be crazy to sell the initial version of the top-end iPhone at 100k, I expect 89,990 for it in the optimistic scenario, 94,990 in the pessimistic. Previously, before the jump, the plan was to sell at 84990.

Today's article will be devoted to the iPhone model, which has settled in the hearts of Apple fans for a long time. We will talk about the iPhone 5S and whether it is worth buying it at all in 2016 and 2017.

Time goes on, but iPhones still don’t want to get cheaper. Every year new flagships come out and we look forward to younger models becoming cheaper

This situation occurs not only with Apple equipment. But it’s a little easier for Android users, because there are many more manufacturers on this system, and the greater the competition, the greater the chance to find a decent model at an affordable price. But today is not about that.

Is it worth buying an iPhone 5s in 2016/2017?

The time has come for big smartphones on the street and we want to get a decent model at a decent price. Unfortunately or fortunately, the best prices now can only be called for the iPhone 5S.

In order not to beat around the bush, I propose to briefly go through all the characteristics of this smartphone and then I will write my opinion on this matter.

Let's start from the very beginning, namely with the appearance. Nowadays, many people choose a phone based on its external qualities, and it doesn’t matter what’s inside.

Fortunately, the iPhone SE appeared not so long ago with an absolutely identical design, which extended the life of the 5S design by another year or two for sure. So this phone will look pretty good in your hands.

To tell the truth, this was Apple’s biggest success and despite everything, there are now a very large number of users of this particular model.


The colors of the phone are very pleasant and trendy: the most popular is black, followed by gold and gray. There is plenty to choose from.

Many people like the 4-inch screen, so I won’t write much about it. The information fits less than on a shovel, but everything is quite tolerable.

After the release of iOS 10, this phone is holding up just fine. With a slightly updated interface, there are no lags and it works as intended.

RAM and processor. With 1 GB of RAM and a dual-core Apple A7 processor with 1.3 GHz on board, the hardware looks decent.


Multitasking is certainly not what it used to be, and if you want to comfortably switch between programs, then perhaps you can stop at number 3 or 4. The rest will open up again.

Let me remind you that it was in this model that a 64-bit processor first appeared, so we can breathe easy until September 2017, and then we’ll look at the situation.

This side of iPhones has always been one of the strongest. This particular smartphone ranks first in terms of the number of photographs taken on smartphones.


8 MP with dual flash takes decent pictures, especially during the day. The front camera copes well during the day, with poor lighting without noise. But now there are filters, so this is tolerable.

The ability to shoot FullHD video and the cool Slow-mo effect will be pleasant bonuses that will always come in handy in life.

Rest. In general, the phone meets all modern needs. A 1560 mAh battery will hold up perfectly. Modern applications and toys launch normally. Touch ID will also be a nice bonus.

If you like it when your device always has the latest iOS and all applications launch without problems, then by buying yourself an iPhone 5S you will get a good device for the next year, maximum two.


The prices now for these phones are more than reasonable and therefore you can buy them without hesitation. I myself use this model and so far I have no complaints about the work at all.

All the characteristics described above give reason to think about buying a new phone, but just think about it. I definitely won’t be updating for the next year.

When prices rose very sharply, refurbished iPhone 5S became very popular. Apple is still interested in 4-inch models because it cares about all its users.


And I mean that it was 5S that received a large number of smartphones after repair. They are quite usable and all old and broken parts have been replaced with new ones.

So you get a used smartphone, but with updated parts. Due to this, the price is much lower than new, so the offer is quite pleasant.

If you only have enough money in your pocket for such a phone, then we take it from trusted stores and don’t worry. It will serve you well for many years.

conclusions

The time has come when it is very difficult to keep up with phones. I bought one model, and before you know it, it’s already lagging and you simply can’t work on it.

Another device with a 4-inch screen will appear in the spring, which will reduce the price of the SE. So we buy an iPhone 5S in 2016/2017 or wait for the winter and a reduction in prices for the SE.

Guess which iPhone is the most popular in Russia. That's right, iPhone 5s. It has been number one in sales for many years in a row. It is taken not only by schoolchildren and students, but also by the simplest people who know nothing about Apple.

It is the iPhone 5s that you most often see in the subway, on buses, in the crowd - in the hands of young people and old people, it doesn’t matter. In short, this is a real people's iPhone - the one and only.

Have you ever wondered why the 5s became the people's iPhone? Why not iPhone SE, not 4s and not iPhone 6? We have collected several reasons here. Let me know in the comments whether you agree with them or not.

1. This is the best iPhone in terms of price and features

I think you also noticed that gadgets have slowed down in development. Smartphones today are very similar to those 2-3 years ago. And the productivity of many of them is still sufficient.

Even by modern standards, the iPhone 5s has a good processor, and iOS 10 didn’t even choke it - you can use it, make calls, play simple games. That is, this is smart, which is really enough for most of us, except for avid gamers.

Now compare: take some Chinese budget smart for 12,000 rubles. - or ? The first one is already outdated by Android standards, and the second one still runs any applications from . The choice is obvious!

2. He's stylish. And “show-off”, not redneck

Again, we start from the price. For (5s 16 GB, black) it is almost impossible to find a smartphone that does not look like a black plastic rectangle with a round camera and poor touch buttons on the front panel.

Manufacturers of Android smartphones do not invest in the design of their budget devices. Agree, it turns out to be a complete mess - just go to any store and look at the display of “shame” with budget devices. Now place your iPhone 5s next to it.

At one time, Apple said that it made the design of the iPhone 5/5s look like jewelry. This is true. Even after 3 years, the Chinese are crazy about these sharpened edges and put them on every second smartphone they have. Only they have this style - a fake, and you will have the original.

3. Repairing an iPhone 5s is cheaper than even a cheap Android

This iPhone model is so popular that spare parts for it are lying around. Go to any service center, even a “basement” one, and they will confirm this to you. Displays, cables, bolts, cameras, microphones, speakers... Absolutely everything is available.

And not just in stock, but very cheap and accessible. Replacing the display assembly on an iPhone 5s will cost a maximum of 2,500 rubles, but you can find it cheaper, up to 1,500 rubles. Any cables, microphones and batteries will cost a maximum of 1000 rubles including labor.

It's no joke, crafty people are assembling iPhone 5s entirely from parts ordered on AliExpress! This is democracy. Just beware of these when buying second hand. Especially if they write that the device is .

Compare this with the common situation among Android users: you come in with a broken screen or a jamb of hardware, and they tell you to wait 3-4 weeks and pay half the price of the smartphone, because otherwise it’s not profitable to tinker with it. Or they will even refuse to repair it if it is a dubious “Chinese” product with an incomprehensible circuit board and design.

4. It will not become cheaper. The price is stable even for used ones

Each new generation of iPhone greatly reduces the cost of the previous one. But after 2-3 years, this process ceases to affect the price of older iPhone models.

Here's an example. A year ago, such an iPhone 5s with 16 GB in perfect condition cost 15,000 rubles. Today - at the end of 2016 - he . The price remains virtually unchanged because the device has found its niche in the used smartphone market.

People also understand the situation and therefore willingly buy a used iPhone 5s. This is beneficial in every sense. Sell ​​it later for the same amount of money. Here are a couple of good options in good or perfect condition:

5. This is the best smartphone for children and iPhone for parents

Let's assume that everyone here already has an iPhone, and you're not one of those people who would like to try something from Apple, but was afraid to spend a lot of money. Although this is a very correct case for buying an iPhone 5s.

It is much more difficult to convince family and friends that the iPhone rules and Android is evil. They won't understand until they try Apple themselves. Remember yourself, you also criticized the company until you got their device.

Spending a lot of money on a new iPhone from a store for loved ones who don’t understand Apple is very stupid. It is much better to take them a used one “for testing”. If only it was in excellent condition and with the kit (). This way, they will be able to try, and you won’t spend a ton of money, afraid of later hearing the terrible “but I like Nokia better.”

With small ones, everything is even more clear: the phone is moderately small, Minecraft runs on it and videos from YouTube play normally. All applications from the App Store work. Modern children don't need anything else to be happy. Plus, they are only too happy to brag to their peers that they have a real iPhone, blah blah blah.

The main thing: you can buy an iPhone 5s from 11,000 rubles

If you still don’t have one, you can buy an iPhone 5s as a memory or as a dialer. And here they are sold in perfect condition. In general, there are many options.

For some reason, it seems like there are a lot of iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s fans here. Who had it? Do you agree that sharp edges are better than rounded ones? What good things can you remember about him?

Probably the last phone from Apple that was truly perfect! Let's remember him with a kind word, otherwise Jony Ive, it seems, will never repeat anything like this again. In general, go to DamProdam.ru, there are a lot of used iPhones and other equipment there!

When will the iPhone 8 become cheaper? Is it worth buying an iPhone 7? If you're thinking about buying a new iPhone right now, don't! You could save yourself a few thousand by holding off on this purchase until September, when Apple is set to unveil the next model to take over the smartphone world. So, when will the iPhone 8 become cheaper? They say that any new device will reduce the cost of the previous one, the longer you wait to buy an iPhone the cheaper it will be, may sound like stating the obvious, but we dug into our research. We'll tell you when and by how much iPhone 7 prices are likely to drop after the iPhone 8 launch, so you can figure out if it's really worth the wait. The iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus and iPhone 8 will probably be presented in early September. There is little doubt that they will come with an improved camera and faster performance. When will the iPhone 8 become cheaper? In September? When Apple introduces a new iPhone, prices typically drop $100 on earlier models. They have a tiered pricing system, so the latest phone is $649. Why the iPhone 8 is Good iPhone Plus models work exactly the same, but start at $749 to purchase and $299 with two-year credit. If you're in the market for a new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, whether you buy on credit or pay full price, it'll be $100 cheaper as soon as the next iPhone model comes out. What's good about iPhone 8? Camera, display, battery, A11 Old iPhones are even cheaper! When the iPhone 6s were announced, the iPhone 5s came with no down payment and no monthly payments totaling $450. However, the release of the iPhone SE stirred up the waters. It practically replaces the iPhone 5 and is offered for a one-time payment of $399, or nothing in installments. We don't expect iPhone SE prices to fall further. The question is whether the price of the iPhone 6s will drop to $449, which is quite possible. iPhone 5 Discount Analysis Retailers and carriers sometimes offer aggressive discounts to try to attract customers. Discounts of more than $10 are already pretty rare in the first six months, however, we saw $90 off the price of the 16GB iPhone 6s stick and $50 off the 64GB on eBay sellers in February, five months after release. There was a similar story with the iPhone 6, which fell around $40 in seven months, and then fell as much as $150 in September 2015, when the iPhone 6 smartphones were introduced. In February 2016 - 17 months after the release of the iPhone 6 smartphone, it dropped to $380 and by May 2016 it was $399. How to enable modem on iPhone 8 The iPhone 6 Plus was Apple's first big smartphone, and it took a long time before we saw any discounts on this model. It was eight months before we saw an eBay seller offer a $90 discount, and for over $200 about 19 months later. And by May 2016, it was $499. Some sellers on eBay are selling the higher-capacity 64GB and 128GB models for $50 and $150 off the price, respectively, but that's it for now. (The 7 plus 128GB is still a whopping $815.) Prices may drop slightly when the iPhone 8 debuts, but we probably won't see much deeper discounts for quite some time. Is it worth buying an iPhone 7? For iPhone 7 prices to drop, we'll have to wait at least six months before we see any significant discounts on the new iPhone 7s and 7s Plus and iPhone 8. But if you don't want to wait that long, you can buy the previous iPhone models 6s, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s. If we answered your questions: when will the iPhone 8 become cheaper?
