What moves the price

  1. 01

    Now several generations behind current, resale value is firmly in budget-iPhone territory rather than flagship pricing.

  2. 02

    Still Lightning, not USB-C — worth disclosing clearly, since many buyers now expect USB-C from their other devices.

  3. 03

    Battery health matters proportionally more at this price tier — a degraded battery is a bigger relative price hit than on a newer, pricier model.

  4. 04

    A factory reset with no account/carrier lock is required before it's realistically sellable at all, same as any generation.

  5. 05

    Screen and body cosmetic condition are checked closely — buyers at this price point are often more sensitive to visible wear than flagship buyers.

  6. 06

    Confirm it's still on Apple's current supported-device list before listing — an aging device that's lost software support is worth noticeably less.

The full story

The iPhone 13 is now several generations old, which puts it firmly in budget-tier iPhone resale territory rather than the flagship market it launched into. It's still a genuinely capable, currently-supported phone, but buyers shopping this generation are typically looking for the lowest reasonable price on a working iPhone, not the latest features.

It predates Apple's switch to USB-C by two generations, meaning it's still Lightning-only — worth being upfront about in a listing, since buyer expectations have shifted toward USB-C.

A general starting point for an older, budget-tier iPhone generation — condition and storage matter more proportionally at this price level than on a current-generation model. Scan yours in Cashd for a configuration-specific estimate.

Used (eBay listings): the iPhone 13 averaged $232 on Sep 11 and $228 on Oct 16, so prices held roughly flat (-1.9%) over 36 days of tracking. The lowest daily median was $220 (Sep 13) and the highest $242 (Oct 7).

Questions

Is an iPhone 13 still worth selling, or should I just recycle it?

It's usually still worth selling if it powers on, holds a charge, and is on Apple's supported-device list — budget-conscious buyers are a real, active market for this generation, even at a modest price.

How much does a degraded battery hurt an iPhone 13's price specifically?

Proportionally more than on a newer model — at this lower price tier, a battery below roughly 85% health is a bigger relative deduction, so it's worth checking and disclosing battery health honestly.

Does the iPhone 13 still get iOS updates?

As of now, yes — check Apple's current supported-device list before listing, since a device that's aged out of software support is worth noticeably less to buyers.
