Value, no. They're electronics. The value crashes with each new model, because it's not worth buying older when newer is the same price. And because they're ludicrously expensive, the actual amount of value lost is massive. You lose hundreds to thousands each year. It's like buying a new car.

Ones low down in the curve can be less steep of course.

That's why you buy used, both electronics and cars, unless you really need the performance now especially if you make money directly from the time or power savings.
