But with Apple’s big reveal happening tomorrow, you’ll need to be quick if you want a slice of the Apple pie.

With over a decade of data on the iconic iPhone, and a related accessory selling every single second on the marketplace, remaining the number one most searched for item on eBay in the UK (even surpassing the fidget spinner), with sales exceeding £1 billion over the last ten years.

Last year, 175,000 iPhone 6’s found new owners via eBay within 90 days of the iPhone 7 release, as people investing in the latest handset cut their costs a little by trading in their old ones for money, rather than leaving them in a drawer untouched – the so-called iPhone ‘circular economy’.

  • iPhone 6s Plus (32GB): £228.15
  • iPhone 6 plus (16GB): £206.83

If you’re on the hunt to buy an iPhone and want to make use of the big discounts now the very latest model has officially been announced, then according to eBay, two weeks after the latest launch is when the highest number of older devices sell, meaning the most discounts are up for grabs.
