Are you going to get an iPhone 12, 12 Pro (Max) or 12 mini? Then calculate the iPhone trade-in value at Apple in advance for a discount on your new device. That’s how much you get back for your old iPhone.
Trade in or recycle your iPhone at Apple
Often your old iPhone is left in the closet when you bought a new one. That’s a shame, because this device is still worth money. Apple even makes it very easy to trade in an old device, so that you get a discount on a new iPhone. That’s a bonus, since new iPhones always cost quite a bit of money.
Calculate the iPhone trade-in value and get a discount
You can trade in your old iPhone on Apple’s website, where your device is quickly worth hundreds of euros. You have the choice to submit your device online and then send it in, or take it to an Apple Store. Here your old device will be valued on location.
Apple has a special trade-in promotion for the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini so that you can get the brand new phones cheaper at home. Apple takes the first generation iPhone SE up to the iPhone 11 (Pro and Pro Max). The return value of the devices differs enormously, of course, so keep that in mind.
If you trade in online, you will receive a gift voucher by email after approval. This way, your old iPhone can immediately contribute to your new iPhone. You can of course also use the discount for other products, such as an iPad.
What do I get for my iPhone?
But how much do you actually get back for your old iPhone? On the Apple website you can enter the IMEI number of your device. This can also be a Android smartphone to be. The website then determines what type of device and model it is.
After this you can enter things like color, internal memory and any damage. After you have indicated this, you will receive an online valuation of your iPhone. It depends on the model and the amount of internal memory. It makes no sense not to mention defects, because your device is tested for function.
IPhone trade-in value increases significantly if your old iPhone has more internal memory. Even if the device does not contain any damage, this will of course benefit the price. So always fill in the online check yourself via this link, so you know what to expect when you return the device.
Keep an eye on: If your device has serious damage, for example water damage or battery damage, you will not get a refund. Apple only gives a coupon or discount if your old iPhone is working.
Sell yourself
In some cases, it may be smarter to sell your old phone yourself, rather than trade it in with Apple. Below you can see the estimated prices after returning your old iPhone to Apple. Please note: the prices below apply to models with the maximum storage quality that are also in excellent condition.
Rebuy and Partly are also providers that can purchase your old iPhone. It is worth comparing the trade-in prices of these providers, because they differ considerably.
Recycling an old iPhone
You can also register an old device for Apple’s recycling program. Apple checks what your smartphone or device is worth. You will then receive a voucher and the device will be recycled. You can also hand in your old iPhone at any Apple Store in the Netherlands, after which you will immediately receive a voucher. This is possible, for example, if your old iPhone is seriously damaged and you can no longer trade it in.
