How much is my iPhone worth?

Condition, model, storage, market: all the factors that determine your iPhone trade-in price.

Introduction

Before selling or trading in your iPhone, one question always comes up: how much is it really worth? The answer depends on several objective criteria — and a market that moves regularly.

At NomoPhone, our estimator gives you a quote in a few clicks, with no commitment. Here is what affects the price.

The 5 factors that determine price

1. Model and generation

An iPhone 15 is worth more than an iPhone 11 in equal condition. Pro and Pro Max variants also command higher prices.

2. Storage capacity

128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB: the higher the capacity, the higher the trade-in value.

3. Cosmetic condition

Intact screen, undamaged frame, working buttons: a device in good condition is rated higher than one with cracks or deep scratches.

4. Functional condition

Face ID, cameras, battery, ports: everything must work. A device with a very weak battery or faulty component will be downgraded.

5. Current market

Trade-in prices follow supply and demand. A new iPhone launch can lower trade-in for previous models — so timing matters.

How to get your estimate

On NomoPhone, the process is simple:

  1. Select your iPhone model and capacity
  2. State the condition (screen, frame, functionality)
  3. Receive your instant estimate
  4. Ship your device for free and get paid quickly

The quoted price is what we pay if the device matches your description — not a vague range.

Tips to maximise your trade-in

  • Back up and erase your data before shipping (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset)
  • Remove personal accessories (case, SIM card)
  • Be honest about condition: a mismatch on receipt leads to a counter-offer
  • Sell before a new model launch if you want the best price

Frequently asked questions

Is the online estimate guaranteed?

Yes, if your iPhone’s actual condition matches what you declared in the simulator. Otherwise we offer a counter-offer you are free to accept or decline.

How long until I get paid?

After we receive and validate your device, payment is made quickly by bank transfer. The exact timeline is shown when you submit your trade-in.

Do you take iPhones with cracked screens?

Yes, we take damaged devices, but the price is adjusted based on the damage found.

Can I use trade-in toward another iPhone?

Absolutely. Sell your old iPhone and use the amount to buy a refurbished iPhone on NomoPhone.
