The iPhone 13 512 GB can net you $97 more, compared to the next highest trade-in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is a lot of money to lose out on if you\u2019re trading your iPhone in to get the latest iPhone 15. You need as much cash back as possible to ensure you get the best value for your money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But despite the majority of Americans trading their old devices in with carriers they will offer them significantly less than SellCell\u2019s trusted buyback vendors, which speaks volumes about how carriers look at their loyal customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Don\u2019t Carrier\u2019s Offer the Best Trade-In Value for Your iPhone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"15759\" src=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Picture showing iPhone = dollars\" class=\"wp-image-15759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"15759\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Picture showing iPhone = dollars\" class=\"wp-image-15759 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201024%20683%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-120x80.jpg 120w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/c9ac71a8282e1fecd95e-f07dbcddcacf0d4c572ea7178ee6902d.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/shutterstock_1177613893-1-1024x683.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There can be many reasons carriers don\u2019t offer the best trade-in value for your handset but what is clear is that trading in with a carrier is usually not the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data shows the majority of Americans who choose to trade their old cell in with a carrier will lose on average between $75.92 and $190.92 depending on the model and condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It can be seen as quick and convenient to just return it to your carrier and get money back for your old phone. But there is always a catch; that being you\u2019ll pay for the convenience with the value you receive. In some cases a lot!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparing the trade-in values of the equivalent top-of-the-line iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB from 2 years ago, SellCell offers a top price of $792 compared with an AT&amp;T price of $380 while Apple is offering $640 when the data was analyzed on 29th August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading in with your carrier can also tie you into using them in the future even if they aren\u2019t offering the best prices for the new iPhone 15. Verizon will take your existing phone in exchange for account credit or Verizon gift cards while AT&amp;T will only offer a promotion card to use towards other AT&amp;T products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your carrier relies on its customers not shopping around despite it being just as quick and convenient to trade-in via alternative routes, such as with SellCell. Often, in fact, it is even easier, as SellCell takes all the hard work out of selling your old smartphone. Plus, you make more money in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is SellCell?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SellCell is a mobile phone reselling price comparison service, which compares prices across over 40 different buyback companies to ensure you get the highest value possible for your old iPhone. It sounds simple, and that\u2019s because it is. You just tell SellCell which iPhone model you want to sell, and it\u2019ll handle the rest. The process to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/sell-iphone\/\">sell your iPhone<\/a> couldn\u2019t be easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found your best price, you just need to strike your deal with the buyback vendor and send your phone off. You can even lock your price in, meaning that you get that day\u2019s value until your new handset arrives; your phone\u2019s value won\u2019t depreciate in the meantime, leaving you with a phone worth less at trade-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SellCell even has a best price promise, so if you find you can get more for your handset anywhere else, SellCell will refund you DOUBLE the difference. You can\u2019t say fairer than that (although this is unlikely to happen, given that it has found the best price for you, already).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have You Got an Old iPhone to Sell?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, then you need to head over to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/sell-iphone\/\"> SellCell\u2019s iPhone price<\/a> comparison page and see how much more you\u2019ll get with a trusted trade-in company, compared to your carrier. Or Apple, for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not ready to sell just yet, you can still get your best price, lock it in, and if you change your mind at the end of the price-freeze period, you\u2019re under no obligation to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all, you really should be wary about whom to trade your old handset with, as you don\u2019t want to end up out of pocket, and SellCell doesn\u2019t want you to, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It Could be Time To Look At Better Value Alternatives Apple is expected to showcase the new
