Do you have an iPhone and would like to change it, but you don't want to lose a lot of money and so are you looking for a way to evaluate the old iPhone? Trade-in is not difficult and evaluating an iPhone is very easy if you follow the right procedures.
In this article we will do just that: we will show you how you can evaluate an iPhone. On the web nowadays there are many ways to sell a smartphone, including trade-in, which however often tends to underestimate the device.
Today we are going to see which are the best sites that offer these services. The advice we give you is only one: use these sites to get an idea of the amount for which to sell the device, once you have chosen the most appropriate amount, proceed with the sale through online markets or sites such as immediately.com or eBay, even if you have to always keep in mind that on these sites the sales times will be slower as there may be negotiations.
Apple Trade-in Service
This is Apple's official trade-in service for evaluating an iPhone. In fact, it allows you to trade in your iPhone for buy a new one at a discounted price, or we can also choose to spend the amount in an Apple Store to buy some other product.
You can evaluate your smartphone by accessing this link. On the page that opens, just enter the IMEI number of your iPhone and click on search.
How to find the IMEI number of your iPhone
You can find it in two ways.
Il first method consists of searching on the back of your device, under the heading iPhone, you should find a series of writings including, at the bottom right, also your IMEI
second method: go to Settings, please click your Generali and finally on INFO. And on this last page you will find your IMEI number.
Let's get back to us: after entering the IMEI of your device and pressing on Research It will open a new window. In this window we will have to answer a sort of "questionnaire" in which you will have to indicate the condition of your device.
Once the questionnaire is completed, proceed by clicking on read more and you will be notified of the rating that Apple believes is right for your iPhone. If you decide to trade it in with this service because the evaluation suits you, click on Accept and proceed by entering your data and choosing the shipping method.
Here, too, you can choose to ship it with a self-made package or use Apple's return package.
Trade-in through TrendDevice
Another site that allows us to evaluate our iPhones is TrenDevice, one of the most famous sites dedicated to Apple's second hand. It, in addition to allowing us to trade in our iPhone, also allows us to buy used devices at advantageous prices. So if you want to evaluate your iPhone through this service, go to this address.
On the page that opens, click on iPhone and then select the model you own. Here too you will have to answer some simple questions such as: capacity, color, condition of the device, whether or not you have the original power supply and box and finally if the device was purchased in British or abroad.
Once all the questions have been answered, click on "Currency”And you will be informed of the price. If the price suits you, click on "Yes, go ahead!". At this point complete the registration on the site and proceed with the exchange.
Last but not least
If none of the sites listed here has offered you a convincing price, you can proceed with the sale on sites such as immediately.com, ebay and kijiji. At this point you will have an idea about the price at which you want to sell your iPhone: personally, however, I recommend that you take a look at the most relevant prices of these three services to get an even more precise idea and not make the mistake of entering a price too high compared to the other iPhones on the chosen site.
Remember to write a complete announcement indicating in it:
- Condition of the device: that is, if the iPhone is working and all components (keys, camera, microphones, etc.) are working fine.
- Battery condition: if the battery maintains a good autonomy this allows you to increase the value.
- Original packaging and power supplies: these also contribute to increasing the value of the device.
- Warranty: if your device is still under warranty all the better, it will increase the value. If in addition to the warranty you also have an Apple Care + protection program, don't forget to write it in the announcement because it will increase the price.
Once you have chosen the suitable price, publish the ad on one of the sites indicated above (or even on all three, in order to have more views), also add the photos of the device to better convey the idea to the buyer and cross fingers.
