Before you sell your iPhone, you need to know what it's actually worth — not the inflated trade-in estimates Apple shows you, but real cash value. Here's a comprehensive guide to iPhone resale prices in 2025.

What Affects Your iPhone's Value?
1. Carrier Lock Status
An unlocked iPhone is worth significantly more than a carrier-locked one. Locked phones typically sell for $30–$80 less depending on the carrier. If your phone is locked, we can still buy it — just at a lower price.
2. Condition
We grade phones on four conditions:
- Like New — no scratches, works perfectly. Gets the best price.
- Good — minor scratches, works perfectly. Standard price.
- Fair — visible wear, works perfectly. 10–20% below good price.
- Broken — cracked screen, bad battery, etc. We still buy broken phones.
3. Battery Health
Check Settings → Battery → Battery Health. Under 80% will reduce your offer by $20–$50 depending on the model.
4. iCloud/Activation Lock
This is the biggest value killer. A phone with iCloud lock is worth very little. Make sure to sign out of your Apple ID before selling.
Apple Trade-In vs. Selling to TechITAZ
| Method | iPhone 14 Pro Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Trade-In | $200–$250 | Credit only, not cash |
| Carrier Trade-In | $150–$300 | Locked into contract |
| TechITAZ | Up to $310 | Cash, same day |
| eBay (private sale) | $280–$340 | Fees, shipping risk, time |
Trade-ins give you store credit — not cash. And they're often lower than what you'd get selling directly. TechITAZ pays cash, same day, no hassle.
