iPhone, Smartphone Tips: When To Buy And Sell, According To YouTube’s ‘PhoneDog’ Aaron Baker
People all over the world who love to be the first to get the newest technology can hardly contain their glee with the recent announcement of the iPhone 8. Now, all they have to do is decide whether to get the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 plus, or iPhone X and, of course, figure out how to afford this pricey device. Amid all this excitement, people are stuck taking stock of their existing devices and wonder, “What should I do with my old phone/tablet etc.?” Well, Aaron Baker is a tech journalist and expert from Dallas whose work on PhoneDog‘s YouTube channel has yielded 9 million views, and he has some tips.
The first thing that he touches on is how quickly a brand new device suddenly becomes old and almost instantly loses value upon leaving the store.
“Generally speaking, from a new perspective, it is a couple of months because the cycle is so fast in tech. Every couple of months there is a new device coming out,” said Aaron Baker, who is also a tech expert from HSN and Decluttr. “Traditionally there are two launch periods for tech devices: March and September.”

According to Baker, the best time to buy devices is in the fall and sell them in the late winter or early spring.
Many of our homes have become graveyards for old electronics, but some of them actually have value. For those who don’t want these items to junk up their homes, there are options. Some choose to donate them to charitable organizations, but others sell old devices to not only make room, but also get the money necessary to make tech upgrades.
