How Much Are Used iPhones and Samsung Phones Worth?
Used smartphone values depend heavily on model, storage size, condition, and carrier lock status. An iPhone 15 Pro Max with 256GB storage in good condition is among the highest-value phones we buy.
An iPhone 14 Pro in similar condition is close behind, with an iPhone 13 a step below that. Samsung Galaxy phones depreciate faster than iPhones, but flagships like the Galaxy S24 Ultra still hold strong value depending on storage and condition.
Unlocked phones are worth more than carrier-locked devices because they can be activated on any network. We check carrier lock status on site during the evaluation.
Smartphones lose value each year. A current iPhone can drop noticeably twelve months from now when the next generation launches. Bring in unused phones as soon as possible to maximize your offer.
Even phones with cracked screens carry value. A cracked-screen iPhone 14 Pro still brings a meaningful offer because the internal components, including the logic board, camera modules, and battery, have significant parts value.

What Determines Your Phone's Resale Value?
What Factors Affect How Much Cash 4 Gold Trading Post Pays?
Five factors determine your phone's cash value at any of our 8 New Jersey locations:
- Model and release year: An iPhone 15 Pro Max (2023) is among the highest-value phones we buy, while an iPhone 12 (2020) commands a more modest offer. Newer models always command higher offers.
- Storage capacity: A 256GB iPhone 15 Pro is worth more than the 128GB version. A 512GB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra adds value over the 256GB model.
- Physical condition: Mint-condition phones with no scratches pay top dollar. Cracked screens reduce value, but we still buy them.
- Carrier lock status: Factory-unlocked phones are worth more than carrier-locked devices from Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile.
- Activation lock: iCloud lock (iPhone) or Google FRP lock (Android) must be removed before sale. We can help you disable it in store.

- Apple iPhone: All models from iPhone 8 through iPhone 16 Pro Max, including SE models. iPhones retain the highest resale value of any smartphone brand.
