What lowers your iPhone 13 offer
-
Battery health
Most iPhone 13 phones are well into their fifth year, so battery wear is the first thing to check. Open Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health & Charging. A maximum capacity reading below about 80%, or a Service message, can lower the offer. The 13 mini's smaller battery tends to show wear sooner.
-
Screen replacements and Face ID
On the iPhone 13, a display replacement done outside Apple's own process can turn off True Tone, and Settings may show a non-genuine part message. A phone whose Face ID does not work is priced as having a fault.
-
Cracked back glass or camera lens
Every iPhone 13 has a glass back. A crack there, or a chipped rear lens on the Pro models, counts as damage even when the front looks perfect.
-
Carrier lock
Many iPhone 13 phones were bought on carrier plans. A carrier-locked phone is priced differently from an unlocked one, so choose the carrier that matches yours in the estimate.
-
Storage tier
The 13 line starts at 128GB and the Pro models reach 1TB. Read your capacity in Settings, General, About rather than the free space figure, because the higher tiers carry the higher offers.
Plug cannot take an iPhone 13 that is lost or stolen, locked with iCloud or Find My, or managed by a company or school.
Where is the best place to sell an iPhone 13?
It depends on what you value. A private sale can bring more, but it means listing the phone, answering messages and meeting strangers. A buyback service like Plug gives you an offer for your exact iPhone 13 up front, sends a free prepaid shipping label and pays after inspection, so there is no haggling and nothing to pay for shipping.
Who pays the most for an iPhone 13?
No single buyer pays the most for every phone. The price moves with the model (13, mini, Pro or Pro Max), the storage, the condition and the carrier. Carrier and Apple trade-ins are usually credit toward a new purchase, while Plug does not ask you to buy anything. Compare a few offers for your exact configuration and pick the one that fits.
How much is my iPhone 13 worth?
Look up your model in the price table on this page, then start an estimate to match your storage, carrier and condition. A 13 Pro Max at 512GB in Excellent shape sits far above a 13 mini at 128GB with a worn battery, so the exact configuration decides the number. The final offer follows inspection.
Can I sell a broken or locked iPhone 13?
You can start an estimate for a phone with a cracked screen or back and pick the condition that matches, which lowers the offer. Carrier-locked phones are listed by carrier. Phones that are lost or stolen, locked with iCloud or Find My, or managed by an employer or school cannot be accepted.
More questions about selling your iPhone 13
How do I tell whether I have a 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max?
Open Settings, General, About and read Model Name. The 13 and 13 mini have a two-lens camera and the Pro models have three. Size matters too, because the 13 and 13 Pro are the same size and the Pro Max is the largest.
How do I get my iPhone 13 ready to ship?
Back it up, sign out of your Apple ID, turn off Find My, then choose Settings, General, Transfer or Reset iPhone, Erase All Content and Settings. Take out the SIM card, and move any eSIM to your new phone before you erase. Do not send it until it is wiped and the estimate matches your phone.
Is it worth upgrading from an iPhone 13 to an iPhone 16?
The jump is mainly cameras, battery life and the Camera Control button. If your 13 still has a healthy battery, there is no rush. If it does not, a Certified Pre-Owned iPhone 16 can be a good next step, and the trade-in offer from your 13 helps cover it.
How do I get paid for my iPhone 13?
Payment happens after your phone is received and inspected. Plug sends a payout selection link at that point, and the methods on offer vary by offer. Store credit is one option, so choose the one that suits you when the link arrives.
