Why does the iPhone 16 hold its value?

The iPhone 16 retains solid resale value thanks to Apple's long iOS support cycle and strong global demand for refurbished iPhones. Its A18 chip built on 3nm, support for Apple Intelligence, and the Camera Control button keep it relevant and desirable on the refurbished market. Higher storage tiers and popular finishes attract the most competitive quotes, and its aluminium and glass build holds up well in good condition.

How do I get the best price for my iPhone 16?

1 · Inspect Camera Control
Check for scratches around the Camera Control button, as recyclers may inspect this feature; remove your SIM card before sending too.
2 · Sign out first
Sign out of your Apple ID before sending, as locked devices cannot be processed or resold.
3 · Compare quotes
Prices for the iPhone 16 can differ by £30 to £70 between recyclers, so comparing on sellmobilephones.com is worthwhile.
4 · Sell sooner
Values fall ahead of each new iPhone launch, so do not wait to get a quote.
