The quick answer

Your iPhone's cash value depends on its exact model, storage, carrier status and condition. Find your model in the table, then select your own configuration to get a quote. An unlocked working Pro Max, a standard model with worn battery life and a cracked phone need separate comparisons; a family maximum is not a personal offer.

Key points

  • Match the complete model name, storage and carrier status before comparing offers.
  • The supported list includes older iPhone 12 and 13 models and SE 3rd generation; a missing model needs a separate eligibility check.
  • Check screen, cameras, biometric functions, charging and battery warnings rather than judging only cosmetic wear.
  • Carrier unlocking, paying off financing and removing Find My are separate steps.

Match your exact iPhone, storage and carrier

Before erasing the phone, open Settings > General > About and record its model name and total capacity. Do not use available storage as the capacity. Keep the serial number and IMEI private; share them only when needed through a trusted support or quote process.

Match the complete name in Apple's iPhone identification guide. iPhone 13 mini is not iPhone 13; iPhone 14 Plus is not Pro Max; iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 are separate models. If you only remember when you bought the phone, identify it in Settings before selecting a year or generation.

In the same About screen, check Carrier Lock. Apple states that No SIM restrictions indicates an unlocked iPhone; a carrier lock must be resolved with the carrier if you want it unlocked. Use Apple's instructions and the quote's actual carrier options, rather than assuming a paid-off phone has already been unlocked.

iPhone trade-in values by model

These maximum advertised values come from GadgetRenu's current catalog, which is refreshed periodically. They are not a guaranteed payout or a quote for every configuration. Your offer depends on the details you select and is confirmed after inspection. Any Fast-Ship Bonus is shown separately in your quote.

Trade in your iPhone for cash: review your exact offer before accepting, prepare your device and use the prepaid shipping label. Inspection confirms its details and condition.

How to compare: use the same model and condition. Cash buyback value, an asking price on a marketplace and upgrade credit are different amounts; fees or required purchases can change what you actually receive.

What moves your offer within a model's range?

The table's maximum may reflect a different capacity, carrier or condition from yours. Extra storage and a higher original retail price do not create a universal dollar premium. To see what matters for your phone, select its actual options and compare matching quotes on the same day.

Check these parts of the phone before describing its condition:

  • Glass, display and touch: look for front or back cracks, visible lines, discolored areas and missed touches, not just scratches on the frame.
  • Cameras and authentication: test front and rear cameras and Face ID or Touch ID where fitted. A working passcode does not prove those functions work.
  • Everyday functions: check the buttons, speakers, microphone, charging connection and wireless connections you use. Record intermittent faults too.
  • Battery: record maximum capacity and service messages in Battery Health, plus problems such as unexpected shutdowns.

Apple's battery guide explains that maximum capacity measures capacity relative to when the battery was new. It is not today's charge percentage. Battery percentage alone does not determine a fixed deduction or condition grade. If the quote does not explain how to report a battery problem, ask support before selecting a condition.

Older iPhones can still be worth checking

The supported models in this snapshot include the iPhone 12 and 13 families and iPhone SE 3rd generation. Start with the row for the actual model: a 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max should not be valued as one generic iPhone 12. The same distinction matters for the standard, Plus and Pro variants in later generations.

If you have an iPhone 11, an earlier SE or another model absent from the table, contact support or check another appropriate resale or recycling option. Do not choose a nearby generation simply to obtain a price. Absence from this catalog does not prove that every buyer will value it at zero.

For a lower-value phone, weigh the actual offer against the benefit of a working spare or a planned hand-me-down. If you already own a replacement and have no use for the old phone, get the current offer rather than relying on a predicted depreciation schedule.

A damaged phone and a locked phone are different cases

GadgetRenu accepts some nonworking phones when the exact model and condition are supported in the quoting process. Describe whether it powers on, charges and displays an image, along with physical and functional damage. If the form does not describe the fault, ask before shipping.

The acceptance terms exclude Activation- or iCloud-locked phones, active Find My associations, blacklisted devices, unpaid or financed devices, and water or liquid damage. They also exclude unsafe batteries and other restricted devices. A factory reset does not establish that an installment agreement has been paid or a blacklist removed. A carrier-locked phone is a separate case and is eligible only if the selling flow supports that carrier and status.

Before paying to fix a cracked screen or replace a battery solely for resale, compare the post-repair offer minus the repair cost with the supported as-is offer. Use a realistic quote for the repaired condition. A repair may be worthwhile for continued use without recovering its full cost in a sale.

Compare cash, credit and private-sale proceeds on the same basis

Collect quotes for the same storage, carrier and condition. Save the details, date, shipping requirement and any required accessories so a higher number is not hiding a different configuration.

For a marketplace, use completed sales for comparable phones where available and subtract fees, postage and any other selling costs. An ambitious asking price is not evidence that a buyer paid it. For a store or carrier promotion, check the required purchase, plan, credit schedule and what happens if you leave early. Count only credit you expect to use.

The cash-versus-credit guide helps compare your upgrade costs. Avoid choosing an expensive replacement or service plan solely to unlock an advertised trade-in number.

Prepare your iPhone and keep the quote terms in view

Verify your backup, phone number and important account access on the replacement before erasing. Follow Apple's handover instructions and our iPhone preparation checklist to remove the account association and personal data. Never include your Apple Account password or passcode in the package.

Choose your iPhone model, complete the quote and review GadgetRenu's terms. Ship with carrier acceptance within 14 calendar days of accepting the quote to retain protection against ordinary market-price changes. The quoted model and condition still need to match inspection. Payment is sent within three business days after delivery for matching eligible devices, with inspection included; an unresolved revised offer, missing information or eligibility issue can affect that period.
