iPhone Value Checker
Scan your iPhone or Android phone and FlipAI returns the real resale range for that model, storage size and condition — the number private buyers pay, not trade-in credit.

Take a photo of the item or scan its barcode if it has one. FlipAI reads the details that decide value in this category and prices the result against real completed sales, not asking prices. A scan takes about ten seconds.
- Exact model and generation, including Pro, Pro Max, Plus and mini variants
- Storage capacity and colour
- Screen, back glass and frame condition from your photos
- Whether the box, cable and accessories are included
Trade-in programs quote a flat rate per model because they resell the device afterwards. A private sale usually returns meaningfully more, and the difference grows on newer and higher-storage models. Scanning takes ten seconds and tells you whether that gap is worth handling a sale yourself.
Four things move phone value: model generation, storage size, battery health and cosmetic condition. Carrier locking and iCloud or account locks matter too — a locked device sells for a fraction of an unlocked one, so check that before you list. FlipAI prices completed sales for the specific model and storage tier rather than blending generations together.
Cracked and non-working phones still sell. There is an active parts and repair market, and being upfront about damage in the listing gets a lower but reliable price rather than a return. If the screen is broken, scan it anyway and read the 'for parts' end of the range.
What you keep after fees
A sold price is not profit. eBay takes around 13.25%, Poshmark 20%, Mercari and Depop about 10%. Run the numbers in the free reseller profit calculator before you buy or list, or check a single platform's schedule directly: eBay fee calculator, eBay profit calculator, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Whatnot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my iPhone worth?
It depends on model, storage, battery health and condition. Scan the phone and FlipAI returns the real completed-sale range for that exact configuration, which you can compare directly against any trade-in quote.
How do I check my iPhone's value without trading it in?
Scan the device in FlipAI. It prices against actual resale sales rather than trade-in schedules, so you see what private buyers pay before you commit to store credit.
Is Apple trade-in worth it or should I sell my iPhone?
Selling generally nets more, often substantially on recent models, because trade-in rates are set to leave resale margin. Trade-in wins when you value speed and zero hassle over the extra money.
Does battery health affect what my iPhone is worth?
Yes. Above roughly 85% is treated as healthy and prices normally; below 80% buyers deduct the cost of a battery replacement, so state the figure in your listing.
Can I sell a cracked or broken iPhone?
Yes — the parts and repair market is active. Expect a significantly lower range than a working unit, and describe the damage plainly to avoid returns.
Does a carrier-locked or iCloud-locked phone still sell?
It sells for much less. iCloud-locked devices are effectively parts only, so remove your account and sign out of Find My before listing to protect the full value.
Is the iPhone value checker free?
Yes — 10 lifetime scans free with no credit card. Pro is $9.99/mo for unlimited scans.
