Feliciano's comments are strongly echoed by Jeff Yeiger, who calls himself the ultimate cheapskate. buying old technology is not a money saving strategy because it becomes obsolete much quicker. Apple supports iOS devices for only four or five years. the discount for last year's iPhone is just $100, which is not 20 percent of the cost of a new iPhone. This all means the discount for last year's model doesn't exceed the depreciation costs.
Where money can be saved with iPhones is in the upgrade cycle. A lot can be saved by delaying an upgrade for a year or two. Also, choosing a discount carrier or service rather than a high end post paid service can save a lot of money. the cost savings can actually cover the cost of a new iPhone after only about six months.
