How Much Is My Used iPhone Worth?
Understand the factors behind an iPhone quote without relying on invented price ranges or an advertised maximum for a different condition.

Start with the exact configuration
A model name and storage tier establish what is being valued. A Pro model is not interchangeable with a standard model, and storage options can differ between generations. Record details from Settings instead of estimating from what you originally paid.
Condition is more than cosmetic
A phone that looks clean can still have a weak battery, intermittent charging, a non-working biometric sensor or a parts warning. The display, frame, cameras and wireless functions all affect whether it can be resold and what repair work may be needed.
Carrier and ownership restrictions
Carrier locks, financing obligations and Activation Lock are separate issues. “Unlocked” usually describes carrier compatibility, not ownership or account status. A buyer may decline a device whose lawful transfer or use cannot be verified.
Ask for a current, conditional quote
Market demand changes. Recent completed sales for comparable configurations can provide context, but asking prices are not sale prices and private-sale proceeds may include fees and effort. Request a quote for your actual device and ask what an inspection might change.
