How Much Is My iPhone Worth? A Denver Seller's Guide
If you're sitting on an old iPhone and wondering "how much is my iPhone worth?" you're not alone. Thousands of Denver residents sell their iPhones every year, and the value can vary significantly based on several key factors.
What Determines Your iPhone's Value?
The price you'll get for your iPhone depends on four main factors: the model, storage capacity, condition, and carrier lock status. Let's break each one down.
Model & Generation
Newer iPhones are worth more — that's obvious. But the specific tier matters too. Pro Max models command the highest prices, followed by Pro, Plus, and standard models. For example, an iPhone 15 Pro Max is worth significantly more than a standard iPhone 15.
Storage Capacity
Higher storage means higher value. A 256GB iPhone is worth more than a 128GB version of the same model, and 512GB and 1TB models command even higher prices.
Condition
We evaluate condition on a simple scale:
- Excellent — No visible scratches, dings, or wear. Screen is flawless.
- Good — Light scratches or minor cosmetic wear. Fully functional.
- Fair — Noticeable scratches, dings, or cosmetic damage. Still works.
- Damaged — Cracked screen, water damage, battery issues, or other problems.
Carrier Lock Status
Unlocked iPhones are worth more than carrier-locked ones because they can be used on any network. If your iPhone is locked to Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile, it will still sell — just for a bit less.
What Determines Your iPhone's Value? (Summary)
In general, here's how iPhone models rank in value from highest to lowest:
- iPhone 16 Pro Max — highest value
- iPhone 16 Pro / iPhone 15 Pro Max — very high value
- iPhone 15 Pro / iPhone 14 Pro Max — high value
- iPhone 14 Pro / iPhone 13 Pro Max — solid value
- iPhone 13 / iPhone 14 — moderate value
