But in the case of the iPhone SE 2nd gen, you may be tempted to upgrade to a <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\">cheap iPhone 11<\/a> given the prices have dropped recently, or even an <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\">unlocked iPhone 12<\/a>. Of course, you\u2019ll want to sell your current iPhone to help fund the upgrade, so make sure you continue reading to find out the current <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\">iPhone SE 2020 price<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/how-much-is-my-iphone-worth\/\">How much is my iPhone worth<\/a> blog post if you are interested in checking the value for other iPhone models.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>What is a used iPhone SE 2020 worth?<\/h2>\n<p>Apple typically releases a new iPhone late in the year, in September or October. But the iPhone SE has taken a different release cycle and has traditionally been announced earlier in the year. The 2nd generation iPhone SE was released in April 2020. The iPhone SE (2020) launched with options for 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage space and arrived with a starting MSRP of $399.<\/p>\n<p>The low <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\">iPhone SE 2nd generation price<\/a> means that it was always intended as a budget-focused model. It is also unique in that it features a home button and uses Touch ID, which is something that Apple was moving away from. The iPhone X, released in 2017 started the shift away from the home button, and all other iPhones released since have used Face ID. The iPhone SE (2020) is the only currently produced iPhone that still has a home button.<\/p>\n<p>You obviously cannot add a home button to another iPhone, so if you want to keep the home button experience, the iPhone SE (2020) is your best option. But if you purchased the iPhone SE (2020) because of the lower price point &#8212; now may be a good time to sell it and upgrade to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\">used iPhone 11<\/a>, which means <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/iphone-11-overview-features-specs-price\/\">perks<\/a> such as a larger and higher resolution Liquid Retina HD display, better battery life and an improved camera setup with a 12MP ultra-wide and 12MP wide camera setup on the back.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to get the most money possible for your gently used smartphone, so you&#8217;ll want to check the iPhone SE 2020 trade in value and see how that amount compares to selling your phone. The table below shows the difference between selling an iPhone SE (2020) and using a trade-in service as of September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Swappa<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Apple<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best Buy<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Apple iPhone SE (2020)<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/sell\/mobile\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\">$282 (average)<\/a><\/td><td>$155<\/td><td>$150<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption><center><em>iPhone SE 2020 Trade-In Value in January 2022<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hard to ignore the difference in the above-listed prices and putting this rather simply &#8212; you will get quite a bit more money if you sell your phone, as opposed to using a trade-in service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the prices in the table, the Swappa price is showing the average of all iPhone SE (2020) sales. This includes models with 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of storage, and models that are in Mint, Good, and Fair conditions. In other words, your actual selling price will vary slightly based on the condition of your phone, and the amount of storage space. The Apple trade-in price is an \u201cup to\u201d situation, which means that is the most you will be able to get. The Best Buy trade-in price reflects a model in Good condition with 256GB of storage space, so if you have a 64GB or 128GB model your Best Buy trade-in value may be a bit lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eceff1\"><em><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/places-to-sell-your-iphone\/\">Best places to sell your iPhone for the most money in 2022<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sell your iPhone SE (2nd generation) on Swappa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are selling your iPhone to upgrade to a newer model &#8212; you likely want to get as much money as possible. Trade-in services are convenient, but you generally get less money and they can be limiting because your payment will often be a gift card, which will dictate where you can spend your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eceff1\"><em><strong>Read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/welcome-to-swappa-selling\/\">Welcome to Swappa: Getting started with selling<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re selling, it is important to keep in mind that prices for used smartphones are dependent on several factors, such as market demand, the condition, and the amount of storage.
