Which iPhone do you have?
Within a generation, battery health and storage size move the price more than almost anything else.
What moves the price
- 01
Storage capacity is one of the biggest price factors — a 256GB or 512GB model sells for meaningfully more than a base 128GB.
- 02
Battery health matters a lot — buyers ask, and a degraded battery is a real, quantifiable price deduction.
- 03
Screen condition (any crack, even hairline) is checked closely in listing photos and drops price noticeably.
- 04
A factory reset with no account/carrier lock is required before it's realistically sellable at all.
- 05
Model-specific demand varies — Pro/Pro Max models tend to hold value better than base models of the same generation.
- 06
Cosmetic condition of the camera lenses is checked closely — scratches there are a bigger red flag to buyers than similar wear elsewhere on the body.

The full story
iPhones hold resale value better than nearly any other smartphone — strong, continuous demand and Apple's own multi-year software support keep even several-generations-old models genuinely sellable.
Model tier matters more than most sellers expect: a Pro or Pro Max model consistently outsells and out-prices a base model of the exact same generation and storage size on the resale market, not just at original retail.
A general starting point across iPhone generations and storage tiers — a recent flagship model is worth substantially more than this baseline, an older model less. Scan yours in Cashd for a model-specific estimate.
Used (eBay listings): the iPhone averaged $190 on Sep 11 and $200 on Oct 16, so prices rose 5.3% over 36 days of tracking. The lowest daily median was $160 (Oct 8) and the highest $240 (Sep 27).
Questions
How much does battery health affect an iPhone's resale price?
Meaningfully — buyers specifically ask about battery health percentage, and anything notably below 85-90% is treated as a real deduction, not a minor detail.
Do carrier-locked iPhones sell for less?
Yes, often significantly less — an unlocked phone can be sold to any buyer on any carrier, while a locked phone is restricted to that carrier's customers only.
Is it worth keeping the original box when selling an iPhone?
It adds a modest but real premium and signals better overall care of the device — worth keeping if you still have it.
What's the resale value of my iPhone?
It depends heavily on which generation and storage size you have, plus battery health and screen condition — see the generation breakdown above for a starting range, then scan yours in Cashd for an estimate tailored to your exact model.
Is iPhone resale value better than Android phones?
Generally yes — iPhones hold value noticeably better than most Android phones of comparable age, thanks to Apple's longer software-support window and consistently strong resale demand.
Do iPhone 13 and iPhone 15 resell for very different amounts?
Yes, substantially — two full generations apart usually means a real gap in both starting price and how long Apple keeps pushing new features to it. See the generation-by-generation guides below rather than treating "iPhone resale value" as one number.
What are used iPhone prices right now?
It depends entirely on generation, storage, and condition — there's no single "used iPhone price." The generation breakdown above is a starting point; scan yours in Cashd for a number based on your exact model.
