Why sell your iPhone 13?
The iPhone 13 is still a capable everyday phone, but once it sits unused, its value drops. Selling or recycling it turns an idle device into money and helps reduce waste.
Reasons to sell:
You get instant value for your phone, tablet or wearable.
You can spend the payout however you like or use it toward an upgrade.
Selling keeps working electronic devices circulating and lowers e-waste by ensuring that usable tech, including phones and other electronic devices, is reused instead of discarded.
Upgrading becomes easier and more affordable.
Your iPhone 13 shouldn’t be left in a drawer. It should give you something back.

How do we value your iPhone 13
Valuation factors
Factor | Impact on value |

Condition | Cracked glass, dents, scratches or faults can reduce the valuation. |
Battery health | Devices below ~85% battery health may see reduced offers. |
Market demand | Popular colours like Midnight, Starlight and Product Red can hold slightly stronger interest. |
Typical value bands
Category | What to expect |
iPhone 13 (Excellent) | Highest payout with minimal wear |
iPhone 13 (Good) | High value with light cosmetic deductions |
iPhone 13 (Faulty) | Reduced offer, but still often pays out |
What if my iPhone 13 is broken?
We buy broken iPhones too.
Cracked screens, worn batteries, damaged back glass, faulty cameras or devices that won’t turn on still carry value. Even severely damaged devices may have usable components.
