      Upcoming events to highlight<\/h2>\n

      Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Release on August 9th
      \n<\/strong>Highlight buying and selling the Note 8 and other old phones. When new phones are released, many people look for places to sell their old device. Now is the perfect time to promote buying and selling the Note 8, or other phones on Swappa. For more info, check out our       Galaxy Note 8 blog post<\/a>.
      \n.<\/span>
      \nExample Copy: With the release of the Samsung Note 9 phone, now is the best time to buy or sell a Note 8. When new phones are released, many people look for places to sell their old device, so Swappa will have more options for you to buy a Note 8, for less money.<\/em>

      \n<\/em>Apple iPhone released in September
      \n<\/strong>Similar to the Note 9 release, many people will be selling their old phones when the new iPhone is released. Now is a great time for people to buy iPhones too, since there will be more options for them to choose from. Check out our       iPhone value chart and blog post<\/a>.
      \n.<\/span>
      \nExample copy: To get a better idea of exactly how much your old iPhone is worth \u2014 check out the comparison of the Swappa marketplace compared to services like Gazelle and Decluttr to see just how much money you can get for your old iPhone.
