Question 1

How much is my iPhone worth for trade-in in 2026?

Accepted Answer

iPhone trade-in values range from $99 for an iPhone 12 Mini to $948 for an iPhone 17 Pro Max (1TB, excellent, unlocked). The model, storage, condition, carrier lock status, and battery health all affect your offer. GadgetRenu gives you an instant cash quote with real dollar amounts in under 2 minutes.

Question 2

How much does a cracked screen reduce my iPhone trade-in value?

Accepted Answer

A cracked screen typically reduces your iPhone offer by 40-50%, but it does not make the phone worthless. For example, an iPhone 15 Pro in excellent condition might get $391, while the same phone with a cracked screen could still fetch $195-$235. GadgetRenu buys cracked iPhones — the screen, cameras, and logic board still have significant value.

Question 3

Does carrier lock affect my iPhone trade-in price?

Accepted Answer

Yes — an unlocked iPhone is worth 5-15% more than a carrier-locked one because it can be resold to a wider market. If your iPhone is locked to AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, contact your carrier to unlock it before selling. Most carriers unlock phones for free once they are paid off.

Question 4

What iPhone battery health percentage affects my trade-in offer?

Accepted Answer

GadgetRenu considers 80% battery health or above as good. Below 80%, your iPhone offer may be reduced because degraded batteries affect daily runtime and trigger Apple's performance throttling. Check yours at Settings > Battery > Battery Health before getting your quote.

Question 5

Will GadgetRenu lower my iPhone offer after inspection?

Accepted Answer

GadgetRenu honors your quoted price as long as your iPhone matches the condition you described. We photograph every device during inspection — if there's a genuine difference, we show you exactly what we found and let you decide. Accept the revised offer or get your iPhone back free. No bait-and-switch.

Question 6

How do I prepare my iPhone before selling it?

Accepted Answer

Back up your data, then go to Settings > [Your Name] > Sign Out (this disables Find My iPhone). Then Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Remove your SIM card. If Find My is still active when your iPhone arrives, GadgetRenu cannot process it until you remove it remotely.
