You don\u2019t always need the greatest, shiniest thing when it comes to smartphones. After all, a new phone is often a very expensive purchase. More people are realizing that, as new numbers show used phones<\/a> are more popular than ever.<\/p>\n

Sales of used smartphones are higher than ever now, as over 282 million used phones were reportedly sold through 2022, according to data from the IDC. This represents an 11.5% year-on-year increase, and while new phones are still selling like hotcakes, it does show a growing trend of people buying second-hand instead. The second-hand market is full of great deals, letting you get old phones for really cheap or even knocking a few hundred bucks off a current, slightly used model.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is not particularly hard to guess. Economic inflation was a problem for most of 2022<\/a> (and hasn\u2019t gone away), and buying a brand new smartphone is probably not a priority if someone has other bills to pay. The iPhone 14 Pro Max can start at $1,100, while you can get used iPhone 12 or 13 devices for as low as $300.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s considered good practice to buy an used, older flagship than going for a mid-range smartphone, after all. If you\u2019re on a budget, and you need another phone, you might just want to consider one too.<\/p>\n
