That means that their trade-in value is about to plummet, so if you're thinking about getting a new phone, now is the time to trade in. Thousands of iPhones will be affected, including popular models which are still in use by many Apple fans today. This includes the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and the iPhone X, as well as earlier models.

The iPhone X, for example, cost £999 on release, and last year could be sold for upwards of £200 or even £300.

A number of iPhones will be affected by issues, including popular models which are still in use by some Apple fans today.
The iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and the iPhone X along with some iPhone SE models can’t install iOS 17 and will miss out when this update is made available in September and that could also be bad news for what they are worth.
