How to understand what my iPhone is worth

You have decided to sell your old iPhone, but you wouldn't know how much to ask your buyer because you don't know the truth value of your "iPhone by"? Don't worry, because understanding the value of your old smartphone is easier than you think: several online sites offer just this kind of service, just fill out a form to immediately get an estimate of its value. But beware, these sites often tend to underestimate the value of your iPhone, so my advice is to take a cue from them, and then sell the smartphone on an external ad site, using the estimate as the minimum amount to ask for. 'purchase.

If, on the other hand, you are in a hurry to collect some money, these sites also offer an immediate sales service of the device but, of course, you will have to settle for the price they set. Alternatively, you can rely on Apple itself to buy a new iPhone at a discounted price by returning your old device.

Ad sites

A good way to be able to get the best from the sale of your iPhone, is to take a "tour" in the various ad sites and find out how much your model is selling on average. Among the major classifieds sites in the city are Subito, Shpock and Kijiji. So if you want to look for the prices at which iPhone models like yours are sold on average, go to one of these sites and type in the exact model of your "iPhone by" followed by its storage capacity (eg iPhone X 64GB) and check between the most relevant adverts. At this point you will have to try to give your own evaluation to the smartphone, comparing the status of your iPhone to that of the iPhones for sale on these sites, and comparing the price offered by the trade-in sites seen above to that of the other iPhones you searched for. There are some parameters that you need to take into consideration when you want to estimate the value of your smartphone, and they are the following:

• operation: the iPhone and all its components (eg camera, microphone, keys, etc.) are working correctly or not?
• Autonomy: autonomy is still at a good level?

• Warranty and receipt: if you have the original receipt and warranty, the value of your smartphone increases and, if you even have the AppleCare + extended warranty, you can include it in the price, but after the sale you will need to make sure to contact Apple support to change the name.

Now that you have calculated the value of your iPhone, you can put it up for sale on the ad sites mentioned above, and if you have a Facebook account, search for groups of tech markets in the areas near you and post your ad there in order to increase. the odds of selling.
