The iPod touch is the last model in the iPod series that has been around for over 20 years.
SellCell, a used smartphone buying and selling site, investigates and summarizes the transition of the resale value of the iPod series in the 20 years from the appearance of the first model to the present.
iPod has more than 20 years of history
Apple announced in May 2022 that the iPod touch will no longer be available in stock.
Although the iPod touch inventory on Apple’s official website sold out quickly, the average resale value of the iPod in the United States has fallen by 89% over the last two decades, according to a SellCell study. For example, the original iPod was priced at $ 299, but its current resale value is 93.3% lower.
By the way, the most valuable at the moment is the latest model, the 7th generation iPod touch (capacity 256GB) released in 2019, which can be sold for $ 100 if it is in good condition.
3% increase due to end-of-sale announcement
According to SellCell, the average resale value of the iPod over the last six months has remained stable with little change. But since Apple announced the end of sale of the 7th generation iPod touch, it has risen by an average of 3%.
