How Much Is Your Used iPhone Worth?

Thinking about selling your old iPhone but wondering, "How much is my iPhone actually worth?" You're not alone. Two iPhones of the same model can have completely different resale values depending on their condition, storage, battery health, age and repair history.

What Determines the Value of a Used iPhone?

There isn't one fixed price for a used iPhone. Its resale value depends on several factors.

1. iPhone Model and Age

The model is one of the biggest factors affecting resale value. Newer models generally retain more value than older ones. Pro and Pro Max models can also have stronger resale demand than standard models.

However, an older iPhone in excellent condition can sometimes be more valuable than a newer phone that has significant damage.

2. Storage Capacity

Storage can also affect the resale price. An iPhone with higher storage capacity, such as 256GB or 512GB, may command a higher resale value than the same model with lower storage.

Check your storage under: Settings → General → iPhone Storage.

3. Physical Condition

The physical condition of your iPhone has a major impact on its price. Buyers typically check for:

• Cracked or broken display
• Scratches and dents
• Back glass damage
• Camera lens damage
• Damaged buttons
• Charging port condition
• Signs of water or liquid damage

A clean iPhone with minimal damage is generally easier to sell and can receive a better offer.

4. Battery Health

Battery health is an important factor when evaluating a used iPhone. You can check it under:

5. Display and Camera

The display and cameras should work properly. Problems such as dead pixels, touch issues, screen lines, Face ID problems, camera focus problems or broken camera glass can reduce the resale value.

6. Original Parts and Repairs

Previous repairs can affect the resale value of an iPhone. Buyers may want to know whether the display, battery, camera or other components have been replaced.

A phone with fewer repairs and good-quality components is generally more attractive to buyers.

7. Box, Charger and Accessories

Having the original box and compatible accessories can make your iPhone easier to sell. However, missing accessories do not make your iPhone worthless. The phone's condition and functionality are usually more important factors.

How to Check Your iPhone Before Selling

Before getting your phone valued, collect these details:

• Model: iPhone 13, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, etc.
• Storage: 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, etc.
• Battery Health: Check it in Settings.
• Condition: Check the screen, body, cameras, buttons and port.
• Repair History: Know whether major repairs or part replacements were done.
• Accessories: Check whether the original box and cable are available.

Should You Sell Your iPhone Online or Locally?

You have several options when selling an old iPhone. You can sell directly to another person, use an online marketplace, exchange it while buying another phone, or sell it to a local used-electronics buyer.

Selling directly to another person may sometimes result in a higher asking price, but it can also mean handling messages, negotiations, meetings and waiting for the right buyer.

A local buyer can make the process simpler because your device can be physically inspected and valued before the final offer.

• Compare more than one offer before selling.

How Much Can You Expect for Your iPhone?

There is no honest way to give one fixed resale price for every iPhone. An iPhone 13 in excellent condition and an iPhone 13 with a cracked display, poor battery health and repair history can have very different values.

That's why the best way to know the actual resale value of your specific iPhone is to have it inspected.
