Selling Your iPhone? Here's What the Latest Models Are Worth

iPhones are the most popular devices we buy — and for good reason. They hold value better than any smartphone on the market. Even a 3-year-old iPhone is worth real money.

2026 iPhone Buyback Values (Good Condition)

iPhone 16 Pro Max: $550-800. Still close to retail — if you're not using it, sell now before the 17 launches.

iPhone 16 Pro: $450-650.

iPhone 16: $350-500.

iPhone 15 Pro Max: $400-600. The sweet spot — one generation back, still flagship quality, strong demand.

iPhone 15 Pro: $350-500.

iPhone 15: $280-400.

iPhone 14 Pro Max: $300-450.

iPhone 14 Pro: $250-380.

iPhone 14: $200-300.

iPhone 13 Pro Max: $220-350.

iPhone 13: $150-250.

iPhone SE (3rd gen): $80-150.

These ranges depend on storage capacity (256GB is worth more than 128GB) and condition. A cracked screen drops the value by about 25%, and a bad battery knocks off 15%.

Before You Sell: Quick Checklist

Disable Find My iPhone: This is mandatory. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Find My > Find My iPhone and turn it off. A device with Find My still active can't be resold or refurbished — it's essentially locked.

Remove your SIM: Take out your SIM card (or eSIM — transfer it to your new phone first). We don't need it and you don't want it lost.

Factory reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This wipes your data and signs out of iCloud.

Include accessories: If you have the original box and cable, include them. They add a small bump to the value. If not, no big deal.

The Apple Trade-In Trap

Apple's trade-in values for iPhones are consistently 20-30% below what SellMacBook pays — and they give you store credit, not cash. An iPhone 15 Pro that Apple values at $350 in credit? We pay $420+ in actual cash to your PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo.
