- spacebanana7 2y agoSimilar to cars, most depreciation happens in the first year. So owning a device for 6 years between age 1 and 7 will generally have a lower cost than owning a device between age 0 and 6. For Apple products it’s generally feasible to effectively buy first hand devices aged 1+ because they’re still available for sale (at least in some retailers) after a new edition is released.
