The report shows that more consumers exchange or launch their former iphones, increasing US market
The sale of used iPhones increased in the United States, according to Cirp (Consumer Intelligence Research Partners). Between 2020 and 2025, the proportion of iPhone buyers who exchanged or selling their old devices increased from 43% to 49%, a growth of 6 percentage points.
In the meantime, 37% kept their old phones, either to use them as a reservation or to pass on to a friend or family member. This represents a fall of 44% by 2020. Finally, 14% of ancient cell phones were reported as lost, stolen or damaged, a result virtually unchanged compared with 13% by 2020.

According to the CIRP report, this increase shows that it is becoming easier and more easier to get rid of an old cellphone. Some factors are:
- Operators have expanded offers to exchange devices.

What does this behavior indicate?
Increasingly, old cell phones feed the overall use market of used smartphones, which has grown significantly in the last five years.
As the 9TO5MAC points out, the habit of reselling iPhones is higher in countries where these devices have always been relatively expensive compared to local income, and resale or change has always been the rule.
Now, with iPhone prices even increasing in the United States, the North -Americans begin to treat their former devices as valuable and negotiable assets.
