Sell iPhone 13 in the UK: How Much Are iPhone 13, Mini, Pro & Pro Max Worth in 2026?

Sell iPhone 13 in the UK: How Much Are iPhone 13, Mini, Pro & Pro Max Worth in 2026?

You can still sell an iPhone 13 for meaningful value in the UK in 2026. The amount depends on whether you have an iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max, together with its storage, network status, battery health, cosmetic condition and any faults. The iPhone 13 family also remains compatible with Apple's current iOS 27 software, helping keep these phones useful several years after launch. Apple

Sell My iPhone currently has a dedicated valuation page for the standard iPhone 13, with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage choices and condition options ranging from New through to Faulty. Sell My iPhone

Check the current value of your iPhone 13

Quick answer: Before selling an iPhone 13, identify the exact model and storage, check Battery Health, test Face ID, cameras, charging and the display, remove your Apple Account and Find My, then erase the handset properly. Do not guess the model or condition — those details directly affect the quote.

Is the iPhone 13 still worth selling in 2026?

Yes.

The iPhone 13 family launched in 2021, but age alone does not determine whether a phone still has resale value.

Apple currently includes all four models on the iOS 27 compatibility list:

• iPhone 13
• iPhone 13 mini
• iPhone 13 Pro
• iPhone 13 Pro Max Apple

That matters because the phones remain inside Apple's current major operating-system ecosystem.

Someone buying a used iPhone 13 in 2026 therefore is not necessarily buying a handset that has already lost access to Apple's latest iOS release.

iOS 27 support does not mean every new feature is available

There is an important distinction.

The iPhone 13 range can run iOS 27, but Apple's newest AI functionality requires considerably newer hardware. Apple

That may influence buyers comparing an iPhone 13 against a newer handset.

However, it does not remove the iPhone 13's usefulness for ordinary tasks such as:

• calls and messages;
• photographs and video;
• social media;
• navigation;
• banking;
• streaming;
• apps and games.

Software support is one part of resale value rather than the entire calculation.

How much is my iPhone 13 worth?

There is no responsible permanent answer such as:

“Every iPhone 13 is worth £250.”

Values move over time and two physically similar iPhones can receive different valuations.

The main factors are:

The fastest way to answer the question for your particular phone is to search the exact configuration rather than relying on an old article price.

How much is an iPhone 13 Pro Max worth?

The iPhone 13 Pro Max can occupy a different part of the second-hand market from the standard iPhone 13.

Apple originally offered the 13 Pro Max in:

• 128GB;
• 256GB;
• 512GB;
• 1TB.

The same capacities were available on iPhone 13 Pro. Apple

That means saying:

“I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max”

still does not fully identify the phone.

A 128GB Pro Max and a 1TB Pro Max are different specifications.

Why the 13 Pro Max can remain attractive

Apple's specifications include a 6.7-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display and ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz. Apple

Those characteristics remain relevant to someone shopping for a previous-generation premium iPhone.

The second-hand buyer may not need Apple's newest handset.

They may specifically want:

• a large display;
• 120Hz ProMotion;
• premium cameras;
• large storage;
• lower cost than a current Pro Max.

That creates continued demand for well-kept previous Pro models.

How much is an iPhone 13 Pro worth?

iPhone 13 Pro shares many of the premium characteristics of the Pro Max while using a smaller format.

Apple launched it in:

• 128GB;
• 256GB;
• 512GB;
• 1TB. Apple

The exact storage therefore needs to be correct when you request a quote.

A clean 1TB handset should not be submitted as 128GB.

Equally, selecting 1TB when you own 128GB simply creates an inaccurate initial valuation that can be corrected during inspection.

How much is an iPhone 13 mini worth?

The iPhone 13 mini is particularly interesting because Apple no longer builds its mainstream iPhone range around the same compact mini format.

Apple offered the iPhone 13 mini with:

• 128GB;
• 256GB;
• 512GB. Apple

It uses a smaller form factor than the standard iPhone 13 while retaining the same generation of core Apple hardware.

Small does not mean worthless

A mini can appeal to buyers specifically because it is small.

Someone who dislikes increasingly large smartphones may deliberately search for an iPhone 13 mini rather than treat its dimensions as a disadvantage.

That means you should value it as the exact mini model rather than assuming it is simply a cheaper standard iPhone 13.

How do I know which iPhone 13 I have?

Do not rely on memory.

Open:

Settings → General → About

Apple says the model number is shown in this area. You can tap the part number to reveal the model number beginning with A. Apple Support

You can also identify the exact handset through Apple's model information.

Apple: find your iPhone model number

Sell My iPhone also has a dedicated guide explaining why checking the model and storage before requesting a quote matters.

How to Check Your iPhone Model and Storage Correctly Before Selling

How do I check iPhone 13 storage?

Go to:

Settings → General → About

Check the stated capacity.

Do not calculate storage from the amount currently free.

An iPhone with 40GB available could be:

• 128GB;
• 256GB;
• 512GB;
• or another capacity depending on the model.

For the standard iPhone 13, Sell My iPhone currently lists 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options. Sell My iPhone

For Pro and Pro Max, Apple also offered a 1TB version. Apple

Does iPhone 13 battery health affect trade-in value?

Yes.

Battery condition matters because two identical iPhone 13 devices can provide very different day-to-day experiences.

Apple allows owners of iPhone 6 and later to see battery health information under:

Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging

The screen can show Maximum Capacity and relevant battery messages. Apple Support

What does Maximum Capacity mean?

It compares the battery's current capacity with its capacity when new.

For example:

100% charge means the battery is currently fully charged.

It does not mean:

100% Maximum Capacity.

An older iPhone can be fully charged while its battery has substantially less usable capacity than it did when new.

Why this matters on an iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 generation is now old enough that battery condition varies significantly between individual phones.

One handset may have:

• relatively recent battery replacement;
• strong Maximum Capacity;
• excellent daily runtime.

Another may still have its original heavily used battery.

They should not automatically receive the same commercial assessment.

Sell My iPhone already has a detailed guide to the subject.

How iPhone Battery Health Affects Resale Value in the UK

Should I replace my iPhone 13 battery before selling?

Not automatically.

Start with the phone's current value.

Then ask:

How much will replacement cost?

and:

How much additional value will replacement actually create?

Imagine these purely illustrative numbers:

Current value: £230
Battery replacement: £95
Value after repair: £275

You would spend £95 to increase the phone's value by £45.

That would leave you £50 worse off purely for the purpose of resale.

The sensible process is:

1. obtain an as-is quote;
2. check battery service cost;
3. estimate the post-repair value;
4. repair only if the difference makes sense.

What does an Unknown Part message mean on an iPhone 13?

This is worth checking because iPhone 13 devices are now old enough that many have undergone previous repairs.

Open:

Settings → General → About

and look for Parts and Service History where applicable.

Apple says an Unknown part message can appear when a part cannot be verified in the normal way. Apple also explicitly notes that an Unknown part might affect trade-in value. Apple Support

An Unknown message does not automatically mean a component is counterfeit.

It can have several possible causes.

Sell My iPhone has a dedicated explanation:

What Does “Unknown Part” Mean on an iPhone Before You Sell It?

Can I sell an iPhone 13 with a cracked screen?

Potentially.

A cracked screen does not automatically mean the handset has no value.

Sell My iPhone's standard iPhone 13 page currently includes a Faulty condition option as well as New, Very Good, Average and Poor. Sell My iPhone

What matters is the complete condition.

For example, compare:

Phone A

• cracked screen;
• Face ID works;
• cameras work;
• charges normally;
• otherwise clean.

Phone B

• cracked screen;
• Face ID fails;
• charging is intermittent;
• camera damaged;
• rear glass cracked.

Both are “broken iPhone 13s”.

Commercially, they are very different devices.

For a deeper explanation, see:

How to Price a Broken iPhone in the UK

Can I sell an iPhone 13 with cracked rear glass?

Potentially.

Again, the damage affects grade rather than automatically erasing all value.

Inspect:

• extent of the cracking;
• camera lens condition;
• frame;
• wireless charging;
• other functionality.

Do not describe significant rear damage as a minor scratch simply to obtain a higher initial quote.

If the phone is inspected later, the real condition can still be identified.

Can I sell an iPhone 13 if Face ID does not work?

Potentially, but Face ID failure is a functional fault.

That is different from cosmetic wear.

Before selling, test Face ID deliberately:

1. Lock the phone.
2. Wake it.
3. Confirm Face ID actually authenticates you.

Do not assume Face ID works simply because the front-facing camera can take a selfie.

Apple's TrueDepth system involves more than the ordinary visible camera.

If it fails, grade the handset accordingly.

Can I sell an iPhone 13 that does not turn on?

Potentially, depending on the buyer and fault.

A non-working phone might have:

• battery failure;
• display failure;
• charging fault;
• liquid damage;
• logic-board failure.

Those problems have very different repair economics.

Do not immediately pay for an expensive repair.

First establish whether the handset has value in its current condition.

What should I test before selling my iPhone 13?

A short test can prevent surprises later.

Check:

• full touchscreen;
• display brightness;
• Face ID;
• front camera;
• every rear camera;
• photo and video;
• microphone;
• speakers;
• volume buttons;
• side button;
• Lightning charging;
• wireless charging if possible;
• Wi-Fi;
• Bluetooth;
• mobile connectivity;
• battery condition.

Also check for relevant Parts and Service History messages.

A clean exterior alone does not prove a phone is fully working.

Can I sell an iPhone 13 that is still on contract?

Sometimes, but check the handset-finance arrangement first.

An airtime contract and ownership of the physical iPhone are not necessarily the same thing.

If device finance remains, establish:

• the outstanding balance;
• whether you own the handset;
• whether the agreement allows you to sell it;
• whether settlement is required first.

Sell My iPhone already has a detailed guide covering this problem.

Selling an iPhone Still on Contract in the UK

Do not send the handset and assume the remaining finance disappears.

It does not.

Can I sell an iCloud-locked iPhone 13?

Not as a normal ready-to-use handset.

Activation Lock exists to stop another person from simply activating an Apple device linked to somebody else's account.

If the iPhone is legitimately yours, remove your Apple Account and Find My correctly before sale.

If you no longer remember the login details, recover the legitimate account access rather than using dubious “bypass” services.

Sell My iPhone has a separate guide:

Can You Sell an iCloud-Locked iPhone in the UK?

Do I need the iPhone 13 box to sell it?

Usually not.

A phone's value is driven much more heavily by:

• model;
• storage;
• condition;
• battery;
• functionality;
• lock status.

Sell My iPhone's published guidance says the original box and charger are not generally required for ordinary phone trade-ins. Sell My iPhone

So do not leave a valuable handset sitting unused for another six months merely because you cannot find its original packaging.

Can You Sell an iPhone Without the Box or Charger?

Should I sell my iPhone 13 now or keep it?

There is no reason to sell a phone that still meets your needs simply because it is from 2021.

The entire iPhone 13 family remains compatible with iOS 27. Apple

Keeping it may therefore be the financially sensible choice if:

• battery life remains acceptable;
• it performs everything you need;
• cameras meet your needs;
• storage is sufficient.

The calculation changes after you upgrade.

If the iPhone 13 is already unused

An unused handset is unlikely to improve simply because it spends another year in a drawer.

During that period:

• batteries continue ageing;
• newer generations enter the used market;
• more people trade in competing devices;
• the handset becomes older.

That does not guarantee a perfectly smooth fall in value every week.

It simply means there is little reason to expect a normal mass-market iPhone to become more valuable because you forgot about it.

Sell My iPhone's existing timing guide explains the same principle in more detail.

When Is the Best Time to Sell Your iPhone in the UK?

Is iPhone 13 still a good refurbished phone in 2026?

For some buyers, yes.

The key argument is straightforward:

it still supports iOS 27. Apple

It also has relatively modern hardware compared with substantially older iPhones.

That does not mean everybody should choose one.

The iPhone 13 family does not offer Apple's newest AI features, which require newer models. Apple

But not every buyer needs AI functionality.

Someone may prioritise:

• price;
• camera;
• OLED display;
• familiar iOS;
• reasonable remaining software life.

That continuing buyer demand is exactly what gives older phones their resale market.

Which iPhone 13 usually has the strongest resale potential?

There is no guaranteed ranking because storage, condition and current demand matter.

However, the four models occupy different positions.

iPhone 13

The mainstream model.

It has broad appeal and was sold in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB configurations. Sell My iPhone

iPhone 13 mini

The compact option.

Its relatively unusual smaller design can appeal to buyers specifically seeking a small iPhone.

iPhone 13 Pro

Premium hardware with ProMotion and Pro camera features, available up to 1TB. Apple

iPhone 13 Pro Max

The largest premium model in the generation, also offered up to 1TB. Apple

However, condition can overturn the apparent hierarchy.

A pristine standard iPhone 13 can be commercially easier to resell than a severely damaged Pro Max.

Does colour affect iPhone 13 value?

Usually it is a secondary factor compared with model, storage and condition.

Apple sold the iPhone 13 family in multiple finishes, including additional green finishes introduced during the product cycle. Apple

Certain colours may attract different buyer demand, but do not focus on colour while overlooking a weak battery, damaged screen or wrong storage specification.

Should I sell privately or trade in my iPhone 13?

Both can make sense.

A private sale may give you greater control over the advertised price.

But it can involve:

• creating listings;
• taking photographs;
• answering messages;
• negotiating;
• arranging payment;
• arranging postage or collection;
• handling disputes.

A trade-in is designed to reduce those steps.

Sell My iPhone's standard iPhone 13 page lets you select the storage, network and condition before submitting the handset for valuation. Sell My iPhone

The right comparison is therefore not simply:

private advertised price versus trade-in price.

It is:

net money + time + convenience + risk.

How should I prepare an iPhone 13 for sale?

Apple has specific guidance for selling or trading an iPhone.

It recommends actions including backing up the device, dealing with a paired Apple Watch where relevant, signing out appropriately and erasing personal content. Apple Support

A sensible sequence is:

1. Set up your replacement phone.
2. Confirm photos, contacts and other important data transferred.
3. Unpair an Apple Watch if necessary.
4. Remove your Apple Account appropriately.
5. Turn off Find My/ensure Activation Lock is removed.
6. Remove the SIM where relevant.
7. Erase all content and settings.
8. Photograph the handset's condition.
9. Package it securely.
10. Send it according to the buyer's current instructions.

Apple's official iPhone selling and trade-in guidance

Sell My iPhone also has its own preparation guide for devices being sent to the company.

Sell My iPhone device preparation guide

A practical example: selling an iPhone 13 Pro Max

Imagine you have upgraded.

Your old handset is:

iPhone 13 Pro Max, 256GB

It still works well, but you have not used it for two months.

A sensible process would be:

Check the specification

Confirm 256GB in Settings rather than relying on memory.

Check Battery Health

Note Maximum Capacity and any warning.

Check Parts and Service History

Look for repaired or unverified components.

Test functionality

Check all cameras, Face ID, display, charging, microphone and speakers.

Inspect the body

Look for screen scratches, rear-glass damage and frame marks.

Remove your data

Follow Apple's selling procedure.

Check the live value

Then obtain a current quote based on the phone you actually own.

This gives you a much better answer than searching:

“How much was an iPhone 13 Pro Max worth last year?”

Another example: an iPhone 13 with a cracked screen

Suppose your standard 128GB iPhone 13 has a cracked display but otherwise works.

You have two choices.

Repair first

Get the repair price and estimate what the phone would be worth afterwards.

Sell damaged

Use a condition option appropriate to the actual handset.

Sell My iPhone's current iPhone 13 page includes a Faulty option. Sell My iPhone

Compare the net outcomes.

Do not assume repairing automatically makes you more money.

What if I have several old iPhones?

Check each individually.

A household might have:

• an iPhone 13 Pro Max;
• an old iPhone 11;
• an iPhone 8;
• an SE.

They have completely different resale prospects.

The mistake is putting them all into one mental category called:

“old phones.”

Identify each model, check condition and see whether it has a current value.

Search your old iPhones on Sell My iPhone

The key takeaway

The iPhone 13 family still has a meaningful second-hand market in 2026.

All four models — iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max — remain compatible with iOS 27. Apple

But software support alone does not determine the price.

What matters is the phone actually sitting in your hand:

• exact model;
• storage;
• network;
• battery health;
• screen;
• rear condition;
• cameras;
• Face ID;
• charging;
• repair history;
• account status.

If the iPhone 13 is still your daily phone and works perfectly well, there is no requirement to replace it simply because newer generations exist.

If you have already upgraded and the iPhone 13 is sitting unused, though, check its value instead of assuming it will be worth the same amount next year.
