How much is your old phone actually worth?

Are you thinking about getting a new phone? Or is your old phone already collecting dust in your drawer? You may be wondering if you can sell your old device rather than let it go to waste. If so, you’ll be happy to know that there’s a good chance you can get paid for it, even if it’s not as functional as it once was.

In this article, we’ll go through different phone models to help you find out how much you can get paid for your phone with the iOutlet.

What affects your phone’s value?

The main factor that affects your phone’s value is obviously the model. Newer models with high-end features are worth more than older models with outdated technology. However, even if your phone is on the older end of the spectrum, that doesn’t mean it has no value. There’s still a market for many older phones, too.

But what other factors affect your phone’s value? They include the following:

• Condition: This is another significant cost factor. Is your phone working almost as well as new? Are there any issues? Is it completely faulty? Regardless of your answer, you may still be able to get some money for your old phone. But the better the condition, the higher the value.
• Storage capacity: iPhones usually come with storage capacities of anywhere between 64GB and 1TB. The more space your phone has, the more apps, photos, videos, and music you can store without worrying about running out of space. That’s why phones with a lot of storage are worth more money.
• Network: Can your phone be used on different networks, or does it only work with a specific carrier? While both kinds of phones can be traded in, unlocked phones are preferred.
• Method of payment: With the iOutlet, you can get paid a bit more for your phone if you get paid through a gift voucher as opposed to a bank transfer. However, both options are available.

Note: Remember to also remove your iCloud, Android, or any other account from your phone before you sell it. You should never sell your phone with any account info on it, but you should be able to remove it easily from any phone.
