Of course, the better the condition the more money in your pocket, but the companies we search will even purchase broken devices!

  iPhone values depreciate by around 40% over one year, but that rate jumps to 75% over three years. At the same time, values for old iPhone models drop by 15% or more after a new flagship is released. That means you should sell as soon as possible to get the most money for your used iPhone.

  Sending your phone to a Flipsy Trust Verified online buyback store is convenient since you’ll get a free printable shipping label and speed payments that are sent within 3 days of delivery. It's also worth mentioning that the buyback stores we search pay cash, not credit like carrier buyback programs which also offer 30% less comparatively.
