iPhones are fucking expensive.
Realistically, we should have already done this.
According toCNET, the best time to trade your phone in is just before Apple announces the new phone.
But that ship has sailed.
Once the iPhone 11 comes out, your phone will be less valuable.
Some involve selling it to another person.
Some involve trading it in.
As weweve written previously, they take greater pains to check that everyone is happy in every exchange.
Since Swappa is a peer-to-peer marketplace like eBay, you get to set your own price.
In general, Swappa seems to be the place to go for pure dollar value.
That said, you might pass the estimated shipping cost to the buyer as a fee.
The process is slightly less streamlined then trading your phone in to one of the big services.
Sell on eBay
For pure potential, eBay may be your best bet.
At first glance, prices on the most popular online marketplace reach higher than Swappa.
Put it another way, eBay is the riskiest maneuver.
(Especially if you bought your 2018 iPhone free and clear).
If your iPhone is damaged, you may be able to trade it in, but for significantly less.
For example, an iPhone 8 Plus with a broken camera will net $100.
If you set up your trade during your purchase, you will get $150.
What about the iPhone Upgrade Plan?
Its the same price as buying a phone and an Applecare+ plan.
