時間來到 2026 年，隨著 iPhone 17 系列即將問世，許多從 2021 年 (iPhone 13) 或 2022 年 (iPhone 14) 就開始使用手機的用戶，正面臨一個關鍵的抉擇：「這支手機該繼續用，還是趁現在賣掉？」根據二手市場的歷史大數據，這兩款機型目前正處於「殘值曲線」的關鍵轉折點。錯過今年，回收價格可能會面臨斷崖式的下跌。
As we arrive in 2026, with the imminent release of the iPhone 17 series, many users who have been using their phones since 2021 (iPhone 13) or 2022 (iPhone 14) are facing a critical decision: “Should I keep using this phone or sell it now?” According to historical big data from the second-hand market, these two models are currently at a critical turning point in the “residual value curve”. Missing this year, the buyback price may face a cliff-like drop.
iPhone 13：進入「百元機」前的最後防線 (The Final Line)
iPhone 13 作為一代神機，雖然效能尚可，但在 2026 年已屬於「高齡機種」。電池健康度普遍低於 80%，且 iOS 系統支援年限已步入尾聲。目前市場上對於台中收購 iPhone 13 的報價，主要取決於螢幕是否原廠以及外觀有無撞傷。若現在不脫手，明年很可能就會跌破「千元大關」，淪為僅能當作備用機或小孩機的價格。
As a legendary model, although the iPhone 13 still has decent performance, it is considered an “aged model” in 2026. Battery health is generally below 80%, and the iOS system support period is coming to an end. Currently, the market quote for Taichung iPhone 13 buyback depends mainly on whether the screen is original and if there are dents on the exterior. If you don’t sell it now, it will likely fall below the “thousand dollar mark” next year, reduced to the price of a spare phone or a kid’s phone.
iPhone 14：換機 CP 值最高的時刻 (Sweet Spot)
相較之下，iPhone 14 目前仍保有不錯的二手行情。它支援大部分的 APP 應用，且硬體規格尚未完全過時。對於預算有限的二手買家來說，iPhone 14 是熱門的選擇，這也支撐了它的iPhone 14 回收價格。然而，一旦 iPhone 17 搭載更強大的 AI 功能上市，iPhone 14 這種缺乏 AI 核心的機種將會被迅速邊緣化，導致價格快速修正。
In comparison, the iPhone 14 still retains a good second-hand market trend. It supports most apps and its hardware specifications are not yet completely obsolete. For second-hand buyers with limited budgets, the iPhone 14 is a popular choice, which also supports its iPhone 14 recycling price. However, once the iPhone 17 with more powerful AI functions is launched, models like the iPhone 14 that lack an AI core will be quickly marginalized, leading to a rapid price correction.
為什麼說 2026 是最佳賣點？ (Why Now?)
二手手機的折舊並非線性的。通常在第 4 年到第 5 年之間（正是 iPhone 13/14 目前的階段），會因為「iOS 更新支援疑慮」與「電池老化潮」雙重打擊，出現最大幅度的跌價。聰明的消費者會選擇在這個時間點將舊機變現，用這筆資金去補貼購買新機，達成最小痛感的升級循環。
The depreciation of second-hand phones is not linear. Usually, between the 4th and 5th years (exactly the current stage of iPhone 13/14), there will be the largest price drop due to the double blow of “iOS update support concerns” and “battery aging wave”. Smart consumers will choose to cash in on their old phones at this point and use the funds to subsidize the purchase of new phones, achieving the least painful upgrade cycle.
