The iPhone Xr was released in October 2018, and it is part of the 12th generation of the iPhone lineup, which also includes the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max.

The value of a used iPhone varies based on several factors, such as the condition of your phone and the amount of internal storage. Market demand also plays an important factor, so you will want to list your phone for sale in an active marketplace. And as you saw in the table above — the value will also be very different depending on whether you sell the phone to another person, or you use a trade-in service such as what Apple and Best Buy offer.
The Swappa price is an average for all iPhone Xr sales. This includes models that were listed in Mint, Good, and Fair conditions, and for models with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of storage. Essentially, this means the amount you get for selling your iPhone Xr may be slightly higher or lower, depending on the specifics of your phone. The Apple trade-in price is listed as being “up to” so that is the most you can expect. Best Buy notes the trade-in price as being an “estimate” and it was determined by using a Good condition model with 256GB of storage.
