Is it profitable to change your iPhone with a newer model?

And two months past the Apple Keynote in which we presented the new  iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, more than one can having come forward to change your old iPhone for a little more current model.

With deals Black Friday available within hours , that desire become more than ever desire, and today we will review the main issues that you can raise with your old device and if you could really take advantage of the iPhone you already own .

Change my iPhone? What model do I have?

iPhone 4 / 4s

Filed June 24, 2010 and October 14, 2011 respectively, 5 and 6 years old each today, if you own an iPhone 4 or 4s are completely in technological limbo.

Apple has decided not to give more support to teams of this model for its current IOS 10. The 512 MB of RAM that can not withstand possess the features of this operating system, and if they did, they would do so that they could not enjoy decent user experience.

If you decide to sell it , and depending on what state your iPhone you are, if you have good conditions you'll find that you can sell this phone on eBay or Wallapop around 60 euros for iPhone 4 and 100-110 € for his older brother 4s .

iPhone 5

Taken on 21 September 2012. This team has four years on the market . If this team still possess you enjoy the latest update of iOS 10 due to its increased RAM to 1 GB.

However, the fact that Apple is designing all updates for 64 - bit system (this equipment still works at 32), as well as third - party developers, will probably next upgrade to thenew iOS leave in the lurch this device , along with the iPhone 4 / 4s.

You can currently sell this mobile in its most basic edition (16Gb) for 140-160 euros.

iPhone 5c

Same characteristics that 5 , the model 5c emerged months later as the cheap option of 5. Well if it was or was not somewhat questionable today can find an iPhone 5c in many places like AliExpress or eBay to very good price .

Your option is to sell if what you wish is to have a mobile that will last in a functional and fully upgradable state for a few years, because as 5, will no longer be supported in future updates .

If you are looking for against a device that perform basic tasks (and you were possessed of a 4 / 4s), one change may be possible reconditioned by between 110-130 euros . Or completely new for 172 euros .

Iphone 5s

Presented the same day 5c, the September 20, 2013, with three years of age , 5s owns a 64 - bit system and detection system prints an 8 megapixel camera with a decent sensor and a processor that we associate with smartphones with current average characteristics .

Its use today should be justified because it possess (unofficially) iOS support for a couple of years; However, its new version, the iPhone has a far better features we could invite the leap: a better camera, better processor, and a very tentative price  which we will discuss later.

You can find a second hand iPhone 5s on eBay or sell yours for around 210 euros .

iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus

With around two years , the iPhone 6 still offers a splendid characteristics in terms of processor and speed of the device. A bigger screen and good characteristics in general , except for the camera, which includes even 8 - megapixel sensor and issues (from experience), not much appreciate the difference with the 5s.

Your Plus version , by contrast, has an improved camera especially regarding video with better stabilization and a larger battery.

It is a model for you to consider whether the photographic section is not as important in paragraph iPhone 6 plus new releases that its price has been diminished.

We can now find this phone for about 350 euros for resale , or 400 euros in the Plus version. In the offers available for this Black Friday, we can find the 6 Plus 16GB for only 509 euros on Amazon .

iPhone 6s / iPhone 6s Plus

It belongs to the generation last year. It is 6 improved with a better camera, better processor, 3D touch, better battery etc, better sensor Touch ID, best selfie camera (5 megapixels) ...

Only the addition of 3D Touch could be buying motive for this phone, because it is the new platform or dimension that will act smartphones coming years. Pay Apple has, like 6, so that we can make our transactions easily as it begins to definitively establish in our country.

If you have an iPhone 6 or earlier model, your purchase is justified as a current model with better features, but at a more expensive price, perhaps worth long term it if you are someone who do not change their iPhone in a season .

We can get this model for 569 euros on Amazon .

iPhone SE

Possibly the device most worthy purchase today. It has all you need 6s inside, except for the second - generation Touch ID, 3D Touch and a good camera for selfie.

However, your purchase is fully justified by its price for those that you have a 5s and earlier. For those who have a 6 with a 4.7 inch screen, perhaps the best option for 6s is the habit of a larger screen.

Available in the Apple Store from 489 euros in its most basic model. Should be able to guarantee an iPhone updated over the next few years (or even months) until the 3D Touch receives a vital function in the device, what we see in the next update of iOS and the next iPhone in August.

With all this, pay close attention to the offers that we publish on the web today. While Apple has shown that small will make available on our website in the form of gift voucher , we expect different dealers publish the occasional offer. We will keep you informed.
