So you’ve got an old iPhone sitting in a drawer, a MacBook you replaced last year, or an iPad the kids have outgrown. The question everyone asks is the same: <\/span>how much is it actually worth?<\/span><\/p>

The answer depends on a few key factors \u2014 and most people leave serious money on the table because they don’t understand what drives trade-in value. This guide breaks it all down so you know exactly what to expect before you sell.<\/span><\/p>

The 5 Factors That Determine Your Device’s Value<\/span><\/p>

1. Model and Generation<\/span><\/p>

This is the single biggest factor. A device’s trade-in value is tied directly to how recent the model is and how much demand it still carries on the resale market.<\/span><\/p>

For example, an iPhone 15 Pro Max will fetch significantly more than an iPhone 12, even if both are in perfect condition. The same applies to MacBooks \u2014 an M3 chip machine holds its value far better than an older Intel model.<\/span><\/p>

Quick rule of thumb:<\/span> Apple devices typically retain 40\u201360% of their original retail price in the first two years after release. After three years, that drops to 20\u201335%. Android devices depreciate faster, usually losing 50% or more within the first year.<\/span><\/p>

2. Storage Capacity<\/span><\/p>

Higher storage models are worth more, but the price increase isn’t always proportional to what you originally paid for the upgrade. A 256GB iPhone is worth noticeably more than a 128GB, but the jump from 512GB to 1TB is smaller in percentage terms.<\/span><\/p>

3. Cosmetic Condition<\/span><\/p>

This is where most trade-in services grade your device. At Tecviro, we use a straightforward grading system:<\/span><\/p>

  • Grade A (Excellent):<\/span> No visible scratches, dents, or marks. Screen is flawless. Looks almost new.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • Grade B (Good):<\/span> Minor signs of use \u2014 light scratches on the body, perhaps a tiny mark on the screen that’s only visible when the display is off.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • Grade C (Fair):<\/span> Noticeable wear \u2014 scratches on the screen visible during use, scuffs on the casing, minor dents.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  • Grade D (Poor):<\/span> Cracked screen, significant dents, heavy scratching, or cosmetic damage. Still worth something, but value drops considerably.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    The difference between Grade A and Grade C can be 25\u201340% of the device’s value. That’s why a good case and screen protector are the best investments you’ll ever make for resale.<\/span><\/p>

    4. Functional Condition<\/span><\/p>

    Does everything work? We check battery health, screen responsiveness, cameras, speakers, microphones, charging ports, Face ID or Touch ID, and wireless connectivity. A device with 80% battery health is worth less than one sitting at 95%.<\/span><\/p>

    Devices with functional issues \u2014 a dodgy speaker, a camera that won’t focus, or a battery that dies at 30% \u2014 can still be traded in, but expect a lower offer.<\/span><\/p>

    5. Market Timing<\/span><\/p>

    This one catches people off guard. Device values aren’t static \u2014 they fluctuate based on supply and demand. Prices typically drop 10\u201320% in the weeks immediately following a new model launch. If Apple announces the iPhone 17 in September, your iPhone 15’s value will dip.<\/span><\/p>

    The best time to sell<\/span> is 2\u20134 weeks <\/span>before<\/span> a new model is announced, or during peak demand periods like January (New Year upgrades) and back-to-school season.<\/span><\/p>

    What’s My iPhone Worth in 2026?<\/span><\/p>

    Here’s a rough guide to give you a ballpark. Actual quotes depend on condition, storage, and current market rates \u2014 you can get an exact figure from us in store within minutes.<\/span><\/p>

      Why Sell at Tecviro Instead of Online?<\/span><\/p>

      Selling on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Gumtree might seem tempting, but here’s the reality:<\/span><\/p>

      • Time:<\/span> Listing, photographing, responding to lowball offers, packaging, posting \u2014 it takes hours, sometimes days or weeks.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

      • Risk:<\/span> Buyer disputes, PayPal chargebacks, postal damage, scams, and no-shows are all common.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

      • Fees:<\/span> eBay takes roughly 13% in fees. PayPal or payment processing takes another 2\u20133%.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

      • Hassle:<\/span> You’re running a mini customer service operation for a single transaction.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

        At Tecviro, you walk in, we test your device, give you a fair quote based on live market data, and pay you on the spot. <\/span>The whole process takes about 20 minutes.<\/span> No listings. No waiting. No risk.<\/span><\/p>
