iPhone Trade In Singapore | Get Best Value at Mobile Life

How Mobile Life Calculates the Best Value for Your iPhone Trade-In

Every trade-in quote is determined through a fair and transparent inspection process that considers your iPhone’s model, condition, and current market demand. 

Our trained specialists follow strict evaluation standards to ensure every customer receives an honest and accurate valuation. Recognised by CaseTrust for our consumer-friendly policies, you can rest assured that your trade-in is handled professionally and fairly. 

Model and Storage Capacity

Your iPhone’s model and storage size are key factors in determining trade-in value. Newer models and larger storage capacities typically fetch a much higher price due to high demand. 

Physical Condition

The overall condition of your iPhone also directly impacts its trade-in value. If your device is in good shape with minimal dents and scratches, you will receive a higher valuation and sell it for a better price. 

Battery Health

A healthy battery is crucial to an iPhone’s performance and trade-in price. iPhones with batteries in good condition command a higher value, and as part of our valuation, our team will conduct careful checks of the battery’s health. 

Completeness of Set

Having your iPhone’s original accessories, such as the charger, cable, and box, can boost trade-in value. Complete sets are more attractive to potential buyers, helping you secure a higher trade-in price. 

Market Demand

Trade-in values also reflect current market demand for specific models. Popular iPhones generally fetch higher prices, while older or less sought-after models may have lower values.
