Mobile phones can lose half of their value a monthafter being released, meaning they depreciate fasterthan cars, according to research.
一項研討指出，電話在宣布一個月後就會貶值一半，這象征著其貶值速率比汽車還快。
While cars typically lose 20 per cent of their value ayear after being driven off the forecourt, money-draining mobiles struggle to retain their value after amatter of months, a report by musicMagpie.co.ukhas concluded.
musicMagpie.co.uk網站的一份申報指出，新車在應用一年後平日會貶值20%。而投入大筆金額的電話約莫在幾個月以後就很難保存其價錢了。
Android phones tend to lose their value quicker than iPhones, with the exception of the iPhone5 (16GB), which has seen 66 per cent wiped off its value in eight months, according to thewebsite.
該網站稱，除推出8個月後就貶值66%的內存16G的iPhone 5以外，安卓電話比蘋果電話貶值更快。
In the Android sector, the HTC One M9 lost 65 per cent of its value a month after beingreleased, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 lost half of its value within two months of being releasedonto the market. The LG G4 depreciated by 88% nine months after its release.
在安卓品牌中，HTC One M9推出一個月後就貶值了65%，而三星蓋樂世S5在上市兩個月後貶值一半。LGG4在推出9個月後貶值88%。
In contrast, the iPhone 4 has clung on to 39% of its value five years after its launch in 2010.The iPhone 6 (16GB) has kept 50% of its value a year after being released.
比擬之下，2010年宣布的iPhone 4在上市5年後，仍保有原代價的39%，而16G的iPhone 6在推出一年後堅持住了原代價的一半。
While the majority of iPhone models don't lose their value as quickly as Android phones, theiPhone 5 is an exception, having seen 66 per cent wiped off its value within eight months of itsrelease date. One reason the research gives for the iPhone 5's rapid depreciation is the iPhone5s, which was released shortly after the iPhone 5.
固然大多半型號的iPhone電話沒有像安卓電話同樣那末快地貶值，然則iPhone 5是個破例。在宣布8個月以後，這款電話就已貶值66%了。該項研討給出的iPhone 5快速貶值的緣故原由之一便是由於緊隨厥後宣布的iPhone 5s。
Liam Howley, marketing director at musicMagpie, told This is Money: 'After the initial loss invalue, which was different for all models and makes, all the phones we researched seemed tolose value at a consistent average rate of 1 per cent a month after then.'
musicMagpie網站市場主管利亞姆·豪利接收《This is Money》采訪時表現：“視電話型號和品牌有所分歧，在閱歷過最初的貶值後，咱們研討的全部電話，根本上貶值的均勻速率都為1%。”
