What’s my Used iPhone Worth?

Thinking of selling your iPhone? Here's what you can expect to get for it!
We get it: You want to upgrade every year so that you have the latest and greatest iPhone available. Or maybe you haven't upgraded in a while and just want some extra cash to cushion the blow.
Either way, if you're selling your iPhone, here's what you can expect to get for it.
Always keep in mind that the value of your used phone will change based on condition, color, storage capacity, and whether or not it's locked to a carrier. For maximum value, make sure you unlock it before selling it.
We used Gazelle.com, a popular used tech buy and sell site, as well as other buy and sell sites to find pricing.
iPhone 4 and 4s
The truth of the matter is that you probably won't be able to sell your iPhone 4 or 4s anymore. The devices have been obsolete for a full cycle and they're essentially useless at this point to anyone who still wants good service, iOS updates, and quite frankly a phone that works the way they want it to.
Gazelle.com doesn't even have a category for anything earlier than iPhone 5. If you're really trying to unload your 4 or 4s, we did see some on eBay that range between $30 and $200 depending on storage options and conditions.
iPhone 5, 5c, and 5s
Before selling your iPhone 5 or 5c, it should be noted that neither is compatible with iOS 11. The earliest iPhone that can receive the iOS 11 update is the iPhone 5s. For that reason, you may have a hard time selling your iPhone 5 or 5c. That being said, here's what you can expect to get for them:
| Storage | 16GB | 32GB | 64GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 5 | $8 - $100 | $120 | $150 |
| iPhone 5c | $90 - $150 | $90 - $150 | $90 - $150 |
| iPhone 5s | $100 - $120 | $170 - $180 | $200 - $220 |
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are still relatively recent devices and have held their value pretty well. You can likely get about 40% of what you paid for the phone brand new.
| Storage | 16GB | 32GB | 64GB | 128GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6 | $240 | $250 - $300 | $300 | $320 - $430 |
| iPhone 6 Plus | $300 - $350 | $320 - $350 | $350 - $380 | $440 |
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
The only thing that really hurts you if you have an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus is having one that's only 16GB. Since Apple doubled the base model capacity for any iPhone to 32GB, 16GB doesn't sell too well anymore. Other than that, you can probably expect to sell yours for about half of what you paid for it brand new.
| Storage | 16GB | 32GB | 64GB | 128GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6s | $280 - $300 | $350 - $400 | $380 - $410 | $430 - $490 |
| iPhone 6s Plus | $370 - $400 | $420 | $420 - $460 | $500 |
iPhone SE
The iPhone SE is an interesting sort of outlier, because it's basically an updated iPhone 5s. That being said, you can probably expect to get about half of what you paid for it brand new. You can't get the 64GB version brand new anymore, so there's an opportunity there to sell to people who want more than 32GB but don't want to spend the extra $100 to get to 128GB.
| Storage | 32GB | 64GB |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone SE | $210 - $240 | $250 - $340 |
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
Being only one year old, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will obviously fetch the most. You can expect to get roughly 70 to 80% of what you paid for it brand new.
| Storage | 32GB | 128GB | 256GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 7 | $470 - $510 | $560 | $600 - $620 |
| iPhone 7 Plus | $540 - $560 | $600 | $660 |
