It sounds like you're feeling a bit frustrated and confused about the value of your iPhone.
Firstly, let me assure you that losing half the value of your iPhone can be disappointing, but it's not uncommon for electronic devices to depreciate quickly. Many people experience this when buying new gadgets!
Regarding Apple's claim about the high value of iPhones, they do market their products as premium and desirable. However, it's essential to understand that the initial purchase price doesn't always reflect the device's actual value over time.
There are several factors at play:
1. **Depreciation**: Electronic devices, including smartphones, tend to lose value rapidly due to technological advancements, wear and tear, and changes in consumer preferences.
2. **Market demand**: When new models are released, older ones become less desirable, which can affect their resale value.
3. **Condition**: The physical condition of your iPhone also impacts its value. A device with scratches, dents, or water damage will generally be worth less than one that's in good condition.
That being said, if you're looking to sell or trade-in your iPhone 15, there are still ways to get a decent price for it. Here are some tips:
1. **Clean and repair**: Make sure your device is free of scratches and damage before listing it.
2. **Research market value**: Check prices of similar devices on resale websites, eBay, or Craigslist to determine a fair asking price.
3. **Choose the right platform**: Select a reputable trading-in site, like Gazelle, NextWorth, or Decluttr, which can offer you a quote based on your iPhone's condition and model.
Remember that the value of your iPhone 15 might not be as high as you initially thought, but there are still ways to get a good price for it.
