Methodology

Source: trade-in prices published on the comparator by 1 partner buyer whose price feed is connected. Calculated estimates are not included in the barometer.

Data date: 9 October 2026. Figures are recalculated automatically every time prices are updated.

Token prices (under €10) are excluded, duplicate catalogue entries are merged, and each model is reduced to its base storage.

Age curves: consistent ranges only (iPhone, iPhone Pro Max, Galaxy S Ultra), at least four priced generations, 256 GB reference storage.

Prices are recorded in euros; amounts shown in another currency are converted at the site's reference rate.

History: prices have been archived daily since 17 October 2026. 30- and 90-day changes will be published here as soon as the history allows.
