When to Sell Your iPhone? Where is it Safe? Tips and Recommended Services for Selling High and Securely

"I want to upgrade to a new iPhone, but how should I dispose of my current one?" "Where is the safest place to sell used items?"
Are you keeping your old iPhone dormant in a drawer with these questions lingering in your mind?

The truth is, the iPhone is one of the smartphones with high resale value. If you know the right method and timing, there's a possibility you can sell it at a high price.
This article explains the key points for selling your iPhone at a high price and with peace of mind, and how to seamlessly buy it back at [PRODIG].

What is the best time to sell your iPhone? What you need to know before its value drops

In the used smartphone market, iPhone purchase prices fluctuate daily. If you want to sell it for as high a price as possible, "timing" is a major factor.

Aim for before the announcement, not right before it

  • Prices tend to drop in August-September when new iPhones are announced.

  • Conversely, prices tend to be higher around May-July due to stable demand.

Condition and accessories also affect the price

  • Having the box, charging cable, and instruction manual may increase the buyback amount.

  • Scratches on the main unit and battery deterioration should also be checked.

3 things to do before selling your iPhone

By making some preparations before selling, you can let go of it smoothly and with peace of mind.

1. Data backup and initialization

  • Perform a backup to iCloud or PC

  • Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings

2. Turn off "Find My"

If "Find My iPhone" is still on, it may not be possible to buy it back. Don't forget to sign out of your Apple ID.

3. Don't forget to remove the SIM card

It is difficult to return the SIM card after purchase, so be sure to remove it before handing it over.

If you want to "sell for a high price" but "avoid hassle," PRODIG's smartphone trade-in is for you.

There are various options for selling your iPhone, including carriers, flea market apps, and used goods specialty stores, but [PRODIG]'s smartphone trade-in service combines both "high-price buyback" and "ease."
