How the iPhone 12 holds its value

  • Damage costs about 52% of its value: a cracked or faulty iPhone 12 is worth roughly $70 against $145 for a working one, comparing the middle of each range.
  • Locked or dead, it keeps about 21% of its working value ($30), because a buyer can only use it for parts.
  • Storage size and carrier lock alone move a working one by up to $95: an unlocked, high-storage phone sits at the top of the range.
  • Working, it's worth about $25 more than an iPhone 11 and about $55 less than an iPhone 13. iPhone 11 prices · iPhone 13 prices

What moves the price

  • Activation lock. An iCloud- or Google-locked phone can only be sold for parts, whatever its cosmetic condition.
  • Powers on or not. A phone that boots can be tested; one that doesn't is priced as a gamble on the board.
  • Screen. To a repair buyer, an original screen, even a cracked one, is often worth more than an aftermarket replacement.
  • Storage and carrier lock. These move a phone within its grade's range rather than out of it.
  • Water damage. A triggered indicator grades a phone damaged at best, even if it works today.
