Apple has a program for trading in your old iPhone to get credits for buying a new Apple product. This way you will get a new iPhone SE at a lower price. How does it work? You can do it online at Apple.com or offline by bringing your used iPhone to the nearest Apple Store.

For online trade-in, you can visit Apple official website. If your iPhone is eligible for the Apple Trade-in program, they will send you a trade-in kit to your address. Therefore, you can send your used iPhone to them and the shipping is free. After they receive your device, they will give you Apple credits or Apple Gift Card. You can use it for getting a discount to purchase a new iPhone SE.

How much does Apple value your iPhone? It may vary, depends on the iPhone model and condition. For example, if you have an iPhone 8 and the phone is in good condition, Apple will value it $170. Thus, you are able to get a new iPhone SE for only $299. Unfortunately, Apple will give you the same price for any storage of each iPhone model. A 64 GB of iPhone 8 will have the same value as 256 GB storage.

Here are the estimated Apple trade-in values for each iPhone model:

Sell It To A Buyback Site

If you are not too comfortable to trade in your used iPhone for credits or gift cards, you can sell it to a buyback site for cash. Sell your used iPhone to buyback sites is the easiest and fastest way to get money. There are some popular buyback sites you can try. Most of them offer free shipping to send your iPhone to be reviewed. After your device arrives, they will check and send the money usually via PayPal or the other payment methods.

Each site has different standard prices and policies. Some of them offer a higher estimated value than Apple does, but some may offer less. It will be better to compare one site to another to get the best deal.

Sell It By Yourself

Trade-in your used iPhone for iPhone SE to Apple or sell it through buyback sites is faster than selling it by yourself. You will get credits or cash instantly. This way, you can buy the new iPhone SE immediately.

However, the value you will get may be lower than if you sell it directly to the buyer by yourself. Let’s say your current iPhone 8 64 GB in good condition, will be priced around $160 to $180 through trade-in programs and buyback sites. If you sell it by yourself, you may get $200 to $320 for the same item. But, it may take time to get a buyer.

Where can I sell my used iPhone? There are some popular buy and sell sites like Swappa, eBay, Craigslist, or Facebook Market. Post it to your social media like Instagram or Facebook is not a bad idea either. Maybe your friends or their relatives are looking for the item you are selling.
