Older Models and Value
People still but much more older models. Apple has a very good name in the industry for brand loyalty. It is also because people connect their products with symbol of status and wealth. We are not saying that older phones are bad. Actually we are trying to help you choose better phones in lower price.
Price of older phones go down by iPhone price go down slowly in Nepal. In our view, the best phone to purchase from older generation is iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. By farthest we can only recommend iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. We don’t recommend buying anything older than that. Apple products make significant upgrade each year and there is no point in buying very old phones just for name sake. It is better to buy cheaper flagship phones from other reputed companies.
The best thing about Apple phones is that they get updates globally as soon as they roll out. Compared to other manufacturers they have less phones so they can focus better on software. Latest software updates are made available to older phones as well. This is one of the best part of having these phones. New updates always bring new changes and added features which is loved by everyone.
Advice and Recommendation
If you are in the market for latest and best Apple smartphone then there is iPhone XS Max 512 GB model which is more than Rs 2 Lakhs. This will provide best camera, bigger display and good battery life. For people who like smaller phones there is iPhone XS and normal X model. The XS is same as XS Max with smaller screen and battery only. Apple iPhone X is still a great value phone and we recommend it if you want a good mobile.
There are wide mainly three storage option in 2018 for higher end model. This includes 512 GB, 256 GB and 64 GB. Most people buy the base variant 64 GB which is the cheapest. Only very few people buy 512 GB model which is very expensive. 512 GB is more than enough storage and is about many laptops in market. These phones can record very high resolution videos which is 4K at 60 fps with HDR and if you are a video and photography lover then do pick the one with larger storage. There is no SD cards in Apple products so get the variant that will hold you files well.
As these are very expensive electronics, we only recommend getting genuine accessories. If you want third party products then only buy from branded company. Repairing these phones are very costly so keep good care of these products with a good case and quality accessory.
