Your iPhone’s value depends on four things: the model, the storage, the condition, and where you sell it. This guide lists what every iPhone from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 17 Pro Max is actually selling for on Swappa, puts Apple Trade In’s offer next to each one, and shows what moves your price up or down.
Quick Answer
A used iPhone is worth anywhere from about $50 for an iPhone 7 to more than $1,400 for a 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max, based on Swappa’s average sale prices as of October 7, 2026. Popular models sit in between: an iPhone 13 sells for about $245 to $347, an iPhone 15 for about $386 to $491, and an iPhone 16 Pro Max for about $752 to $873, depending on storage. On most models from the iPhone 12 onward, selling it yourself returns roughly 15% to 50% more than Apple Trade In’s best-case offer, and on the oldest models it is often double or more.
How to Find Your iPhone Model and Storage
Open Settings > General > About. The Model Name line shows your exact model (for example, iPhone 14 Pro), and Capacity shows the storage. Two more checks help you price it:
- Carrier lock status: in the same About screen, Carrier Lock should say “No SIM restrictions” if the phone is unlocked. Unlocked phones reach the most buyers. See Unlocked vs. Carrier-Locked Phones: What It Means When Buying Used.
- Battery health: open Settings > Battery > Battery Health and note the Maximum Capacity. You will need it for your listing.

Apple discontinued the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max when it announced the iPhone 18 Pro on September 9, 2026. Their used values have stayed within a few dollars of their late-September averages since then.
The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max went on sale on September 18, 2026, and there are still too few completed sales on Swappa for a reliable average. On October 7, the lowest listings were $1,150 for an 18 Pro and $1,288 for an 18 Pro Max, just under Apple’s $1,199 and $1,299 starting prices. The iPhone Duo, Apple’s first foldable, opens for preorders on October 16 and ships on October 23, starting at $1,999.

All Swappa figures are average sale prices by storage tier as of October 7, 2026. Large storage tiers sell less often, so a few sales can move their average, which is why some top tiers sell for less than the tier below (a 512GB iPhone 11 Pro, for example, averaged less than the 256GB model). Price against current listings for your exact configuration.
The iPhone 11 and the iPhone SE (2nd generation) are the oldest iPhones on Apple’s iOS 27 list. For model-by-model detail on those two families, see How Much Is an iPhone 11 Worth in 2026? and Is the iPhone 11 Pro Max Worth Buying in 2026?
Older iPhones: XS, XS Max, XR, X, 8, and 7
These iPhones no longer get new iOS versions, so buyers treat them as backup phones, first phones for kids, or parts of a budget setup. They still sell on Swappa as long as they are fully functional, and selling usually beats trading in by a wide margin. Apple’s published September 2026 trade-in values run only as far back as the iPhone 8 Plus.
| Model | Released | Last Major iOS | Average Sale Price on Swappa | Apple Trade In (Up To) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone XS Max | 2018 | iOS 18 | $139 to $175 | $85 |
| iPhone XS | 2018 | iOS 18 | $119 to $133 | $60 |
| iPhone XR | 2018 | iOS 18 | $109 to $129 | $75 |
| iPhone X | 2017 | iOS 16 | $111 to $118 | $50 |
| iPhone 8 Plus | 2017 | iOS 16 | $87 to $110 | $35 |
| iPhone 8 | 2017 | iOS 16 | $67 to $88 | Not on Apple’s list |
| iPhone 7 Plus | 2016 | iOS 15 | $66 to $97 | Not on Apple’s list |
| iPhone 7 | 2016 | iOS 15 | $51 to $69 | Not on Apple’s list |
Average sale prices on Swappa as of October 7, 2026. Few large-storage units of these models sell, so the top of each range rests on a small number of sales.
If you own one of these, there is no reason to wait. Values on phones this old change little from month to month, and demand thins as apps drop support for older iOS versions. If you are replacing it, Best Cheap iPhones in 2026: Top Picks Under $300 lists the cheapest models that still get updates.
Selling vs. Trading In: How Much More You Keep
Trade-in is fast, and you pay for the speed. Here is what the most common configurations of popular models sold for on Swappa, next to the unlocked trade-in quote shown on the same Swappa price page and Apple’s offer.

Swappa figures as of October 7, 2026. Apple’s offers are best-case values for a phone in good shape. Since September 2026, Apple’s trade-in grading separates minor cosmetic wear from serious damage, so light scuffs cost less than they used to, but a worn phone still gets less than the “up to” figure.
Swappa’s fees are straightforward: a 3% seller fee on your Ask Price, plus payment processing through PayPal (3.49% + $0.49) or Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 for select sellers). Listing is free. On a $100 Ask Price paid through PayPal, you keep about $92.92. Even after fees, a typical sale beats the trade-in offers above. Carrier trade-in deals can look bigger, but they are usually paid as bill credits over 24 to 36 months and tied to a new line.

What Changes Your iPhone’s Value
Six things move your iPhone up or down from the averages above:
- Storage. Each step up in storage usually adds about $20 to $100, and the gaps are widest on the newest models. A 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max averages about $400 more than a 256GB one.
- Condition. Mint and Good phones sell faster and nearer the top of the range than Fair ones. See Used Electronics Condition Grades, Explained.
- Battery health. Swappa sets no minimum battery-health percentage. If your iPhone’s battery health is below 80% and Apple’s battery message is showing, you must disclose it, and buyers will price in a replacement. To decide whether a new battery pays for itself, see iPhone Battery Health Below 80%: What It Costs, What It’s Worth, When to Replace Before Selling.
- Carrier status. Unlocked phones can sell to buyers on any carrier. Locked phones can still sell well, but to fewer buyers.
- Account and payment status. Find My and Activation Lock must be off, and the phone must be fully paid off with a clean IMEI. A phone that fails any of these cannot be listed on Swappa.
- Extras. The original box and a cable help a listing stand out, even when they add little to the price.
When to Sell Your iPhone
Sell before your model drops off Apple’s iOS list. Apple announces which iPhones the next iOS version supports at WWDC each June. When a model falls off that list, buyer demand drops and prices usually step down with it. The iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd generation) are the oldest phones on iOS 27, so they are the most exposed in June 2027.
Sell soon after you upgrade. Every month your old iPhone sits in a drawer, it loses a little value. September launches also bring a wave of trade-ins and new listings, so pricing your phone accurately against current sales matters more in the fall. Trade-in offers drop at the same time: in September 2026, Apple cut the trade-in value of every older iPhone on its list, including a 19% cut for the iPhone 16 Pro. For the general pattern, see Best Time to Sell Your Phone (Before Value Drops).
How to Sell Your iPhone on Swappa
- Check the price for your model, storage, and carrier on its Swappa price page (linked in the tables above) and set a competitive Ask Price.
- Back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer.
- Turn off Find My, sign out of your Apple Account, and erase the phone. Follow How to Wipe an iPhone Before Selling It (the Right Way).

For the complete walkthrough, including pricing strategy and photos, see How to Sell Your Used Phone for the Most Money. For values on phones, tablets, laptops, and more, see How Much Is My Used Device Worth?
What if your iPhone is cracked or water-damaged? Swappa listings must be fully functional with no cracked glass and no water damage, so a damaged iPhone cannot be listed. A repair, a trade-in program that accepts damaged phones, or a recycler is the right route. See Selling Broken or For-Parts Devices for Cash.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max worth?
A used iPhone 17 Pro sold for about $912 (256GB) to $1,070 (1TB) on Swappa as of October 7, 2026, and an iPhone 17 Pro Max for about $1,014 (256GB) to $1,425 (2TB). Apple Trade In offers up to $785 and $885. Apple discontinued both models when it announced the iPhone 18 Pro on September 9, 2026.
How much is an iPhone 13 worth in 2026?
A used iPhone 13 sold for about $245 (128GB), $259 (256GB), and $347 (512GB) on average on Swappa as of October 7, 2026. Apple Trade In offers up to $175. The iPhone 13 Pro averaged $294 to $433 and the 13 Pro Max $366 to $509, depending on storage.
How much is an iPhone 14 worth?
A used iPhone 14 sold for about $284 to $364 on Swappa as of October 7, 2026, depending on storage. The iPhone 14 Plus averaged $311 to $362, the 14 Pro $363 to $482, and the 14 Pro Max $447 to $552. Apple Trade In offers up to $195 for an iPhone 14.
Is it better to sell my iPhone or trade it in?
Selling usually pays more. A 128GB iPhone 14 averaged $284 on Swappa in October 2026, against up to $195 from Apple Trade In and a $146 unlocked trade-in quote. Trade-in is faster and simpler, but you give up that difference, and Apple pays in gift card or credit rather than cash.
How much is an old iPhone 8 or iPhone 7 worth?
An iPhone 8 sold for about $67 to $88 on Swappa as of October 7, 2026, and an iPhone 7 for about $51 to $69. Apple’s current trade-in list does not include either model. Both are off iOS support, so their value is near its floor, and selling now makes more sense than waiting.
Does battery health affect how much my iPhone is worth?
Yes. Swappa sets no minimum, but buyers pay less for a worn battery because they expect to replace it. If battery health is below 80% and Apple’s battery message is showing, you must disclose it on your listing. On newer, higher-value iPhones, replacing the battery before you sell can pay for itself.
Can I sell an iPhone that is still on a payment plan?
Not on Swappa. Listings must be fully paid off with a clean IMEI, because a financed phone can be blacklisted later if payments stop. Pay off the balance with your carrier first, then list it.
The Bottom Line
Your iPhone is worth what buyers are paying for your exact model, storage, and condition, and on Swappa that is usually well above what Apple or a carrier will give you in trade. Find your model in the tables above, check its live price page, and list it while it still has the most value.
