How much is your used iPhone worth in Portugal (2026)

The prices below are market estimates for iPhones in good functional condition (Grade B equivalent). They vary depending on the specific model, capacity, colour and actual condition. For an exact estimate for your case, use the iOutlet calculator.

Repair: on some models (iPhone 13, 14 base), the used sale price may be higher than the refurbished price, meaning that by selling yours and buying refurbished, you still have money left over. This makes particular sense if you have an iPhone 13 or 14 and want to move up to a newer model.

How the iPhone's condition affects the value

The physical condition carries more weight in the final value than many people realise. As a reference:

• Excellent (no marks): full market price. iPhone like new, screen without scratches, pristine casing
• Good (slight marks): -10% to -15%. Small marks only visible in certain light
• With marks (visible wear): -20% to -30%. Evident marks on casing but screen functional
• With faults: -40% to -60%. Cracked screen, heavily worn battery, faulty buttons

The battery matters too. An iPhone with a battery below 80% capacity is typically worth 10-15% less than the same iPhone in good condition.

Where to sell your used iPhone: an honest comparison

There are four main routes. Each has advantages and disadvantages:

Important to know: iOutlet does not buy from individuals. Our calculator gives you an estimate of the market value to help you decide between the options above, and offers a €10 voucher if you decide to trade yours in for an iOutlet refurbished device with 24-month warranty.

You receive a market estimate in seconds (range €X-€Y). If you leave your email, we will also send you a €10 voucher to use on a future refurbished purchase.

How to prepare your iPhone for sale

Before selling your iPhone (privately or via trade-in), follow these 5 steps to avoid issues:

1. Full backup: to iCloud (Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud) or to a computer via Finder/iTunes
2. Turn off Find My iPhone: Settings → [Your Name] → Find My → Find My iPhone → Turn Off (requires Apple ID password)
3. Sign out of iCloud, App Store, iMessage: Settings → [Your Name] → Sign Out
4. Unpair Apple Watch and Bluetooth devices
5. Erase all content: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings

If you are selling privately, photograph the IMEI (Settings → General → About) to protect yourself against any future unjustified locks.

Sell and trade up to a refurbished iPhone

An often overlooked alternative: sell your used iPhone privately and use the money to buy a refurbished iPhone from the latest generation. The TROCA10 coupon (€10 off €200+) you receive in our calculator helps balance the books.

Practical examples (typical 2026 market):

• You have an iPhone 12 Grade B (sell for ~€220 privately) → buy a refurbished iPhone 14 Grade C (£379) → you only pay £159 + skip 2 generations
• You have an iPhone 13 Pro Grade B (sell for ~£440) → buy a refurbished iPhone 15 Grade C (£519) → difference £79 for 2 generations + USB-C
• You have an iPhone 11 Grade A (sell for ~£180) → buy a refurbished iPhone 13 Grade C (€133) → you save €47 + skip 2 generations

In every case your upgrade comes with 24-month warranty, something a private used sale never gives you.

Frequently asked questions

How much is my used iPhone worth?

It depends on the model, capacity, condition and battery condition. In Portugal, in 2026, an iPhone 12 in good condition is worth between €180 and €260; an iPhone 13 Pro in good condition between €360 and €480. For an exact estimate in your case, use the free iOutlet calculator in 30 seconds.

Does iOutlet buy used iPhones from individuals?

No. iOutlet is a refurbished online store; we purchase stock in volume through a certified European refurbishment network. Our "How much is your phone worth?" calculator gives you a market estimate to help you decide between selling privately, trading in at Worten or Fnac, or swapping for an iOutlet refurbished device using the coupon TROCA10.

Where can you sell a used iPhone in Portugal?

Four main options: (1) a listing on OLX, Custo Justo or Facebook Marketplace, higher price, more effort; (2) trade-in at Worten or Fnac, more convenient but they pay less; (3) operator programmes (MEO, NOS, Vodafone) with an associated contract; (4) specialist sites such as Recommerce or Back Market that buy from individuals. Before deciding, calculate the market value so you know which offers are fair.

Is it worth trading in your iPhone at Worten or Fnac?

In general, a direct trade-in pays 60-75% of the market value. It makes sense for the convenience (you don’t have to manage a listing or meet buyers), but if you want every extra euro, selling privately on a portal such as OLX or Custo Justo will get you more for the device. iOutlet does not offer trade-ins; we only calculate the value to help you decide.

I sell my iPhone and buy a refurbished one: does that make sense?

In many cases yes, especially if you want to jump 1-2 generations. For example, you sell an iPhone 12 Grade B (~£220 privately) and buy a refurbished iPhone 14 Grade C (£379), you only pay £159 for a significant upgrade, and you still get 24-month warranty which a private used sale does not offer. The TROCA10 coupon (£10/£200+) helps close the deal.

What do I do before selling my used iPhone?

Five essential steps: full backup (iCloud or computer), turn off Find My iPhone (requires Apple ID password), sign out of iCloud/App Store/iMessage, unpair Apple Watch and Bluetooth, and finally erase all content (Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings). Photograph the IMEI beforehand to protect yourself against future locks.

Is the TROCA10 coupon stackable with other discounts?

No. TROCA10 (£10 off minimum spend of £200) is for single use only and does not stack with BEMVINDO5, QUIZ5 or other coupons. Valid for 30 days after issue and limited to one use per customer. Applicable to any iOutlet refurbished device (smartphones, tablets, laptops).
