Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro Max last September and by the end of 2025, it had become the fourth best-selling smartphone of the year. Seeing its features, people immediately accepted it, but now people have started selling it. In the last few days, the number of brand new condition iPhone 17 Pro Max models in the resale market has increased and this has worried even Apple. Let us know why this is happening.
Why are people selling it despite liking it?
According to a report by PhoneArena, people are not able to stop themselves from selling this popular iPhone. Actually, the reason for this is that even after so many days of launch, the value of this iPhone remains high. That means people are ready to pay more to buy a second hand iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Resale value is the biggest factor
145 days after the launch of iPhone 16 Pro Max, its original value had reduced by 32.5 percent. In comparison, the value of 17 Pro Max has declined by only 25.4 percent. This means that even after so many days, the 17 Pro Max can be resold for more money than the 16 Pro Max. Many people are doing this and this is the reason why there is a flood of iPhones in the resale market. It is believed that people are selling 17 Pro Max and going towards other models of iPhone 17 series or Android smartphones.
Apple’s concerns may increase
Apple will launch only Pro models of the iPhone 18 series in September this year and the standard variants will be launched next year. If the same situation happens with the iPhone 18 Pro models, then it could be a cause for concern for Apple.
