With the launch of the Pixel 6 series, Google had sought to compete in the premium segment market against the likes of Apple and Samsung. However, while its 2021 flagship phones were received as a notable contender in the high end Android market, it appears that there are still areas where iPhones managed to best the Pixel 6.

According to data from SellCell, that sought to find out which of the two smartphone lineups held out its value best, it appears that iPhone took the lead. The report compared information from the smartphone market and price comparisons between the two. It found that the iPhone 13 series hold their value better than the new Pixel 6. Looking at the data that compiled from over 45 buyback vendors, the Pixel 6 series lost an average of around 43 percent of its value within a month of its launch.

On the other hand, the iPhone 13 family only saw a depreciation of around 25 percent within just the first month of its release. Notably, the iPhone 13 saw a rise in value, with the positive trend also including the iPhone 13 mini as well. For those unaware, this model was the least popular model within the lineup. Interestingly, the base Pixel 6 model lost around 37 percent of its value compared to the 35 percent buyback value that was lost for the iPhone 13 mini.

In other words, the search engine giant had better competed with the Cupertino based company in the entry level flagship market. While the iPhone 13 series saw a rise in buyback value over the last two months, SellCell believes that the same might not be reflected for the Pixel 6 models. Rather, the Pixel 6 value might drop further before reaching a plateau in the next couple of months. Keep in mind that the buyback value do not directly reflect the quality of the smartphones, since iPhones are known to typically hold their value better than their Android counterparts.
