A 256GB model fetches $40–60 more than the base 128GB. 512GB commands a further premium.

Cracked screen or missing Face ID cuts value by 40–50%. "Like New" or "Mint" models command top dollar.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the original box increase value?
Marginally — about $10–15 on most platforms. It signals the phone was well cared for, which matters more for buyers on Swappa where condition is scrutinized.
Q: What's the best platform to sell an iPhone 13?
Swappa and eBay consistently return the highest prices for iPhones. Facebook Marketplace is faster but typically 10–15% lower. Avoid carrier buyback programs — they pay 30–50% below market.
Q: Does carrier lock affect resale value?
Yes — unlocked iPhones sell for $20–40 more. Unlock via your carrier's website before listing, it's free and takes 24–48 hours.
Q: How do I price it if there's screen damage?
Deduct 40–50% from the "Good" condition price. List clearly as "cracked screen" — buyers searching for parts or repair will find it.
