Best Way to Sell your Old iPhone
The market is getting more and more occupied with technologies,
but the fascination with iPhones is never-ending. Here are some ideas where you
can get the most efficient payment for your used iPhone. With the advent of new
iPhones, it’s time to start thinking of the old ones. For many reasons, we want
to buy a new one, but we already have invested so much of money for the old
one. The solution is- sell the old iPhone to subsidize the new one by following
some ways which help us in selling it in the most profitable manner possible.
Do it as early as possible
The closer we get to know about the new iPhones, less worthy are
going to be the previous models. According to a study- The most recent iPhone
model drops as much as dollar 100 in value after the new iPhone has been
released. The previous model drops between 10 to 20%. It’s not a smart choice
to keep a depreciated item. Sell your phone right now If that is not the
option, some of the sites will give you a period of 30 days before you send
your phone.
To do things before you sell
It doesn’t matter if you are swelling it yourself or putting it
in hand of a 3rd party. Follow these steps:
- Back up: Back up all the
critical data- including videos, photos, contact, and apps. Use Apple’s
iCloud service or a 3rd party cloud storage device.
- Remove the SIM card: Forget not to pop out
your SIM card, which you will need for the new phone to keep your service
and the existing number active.
- Don’t forget to turn off
Find My iPhone:
It is a security feature that must be turned off before selling your phone
so that nobody else can reset or use it. Go to iCloud>Find My iPhone
and toggle off.
- Wipe it- Sign out of all
apps, services and connected clouds. Open the ‘Settings App’ and go to
General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to erase everything
from the iPhone. Once it’s done, Go to the General>Reset>Reset All
Settings to restore the iPhone to factory settings.
You are going to get the most money for your phone if its
condition is in tip-top position. But there are still some ways that can do
well if it is not in the ‘good’ condition. No dents, no cracks, no scratches,
no water damage, and everything is working well.
What can be done if the iPhone is
damaged?
Even if the phone is damaged, you still can get something in
return. It’s actually not worth it to repair a cracked screen before you sell
but if your screen is slightly damaged, like a small hairline in the corner.
You should sell it on your own instead of trading. Maybe an individual will
overlook superficial screen damage for a reasonable price.
Sell it yourself
Selling the phone by oneself may give you the maximum profit but
it’s not without risks.
Craigslist
- It is the most risky
option, but you are going to get cash for your device. But the challenge
here is to deal with the flakes. If you have decided to use Craigslist,
make sure you meet your buyer in a great public place. For a smooth and
pleasant transaction, agree clear before the meeting. Make your customer
well aware with the price and condition of your device.
