Because of the relatively low potential for devaluation, many people resell their used iPhones and still manage to get a good chunk of what they paid for the device when it was new. For those who buy it, it can also be a good deal, since it allows you to change your cell phone, obtaining a device in good condition and saving money.
A survey of used car buying and selling site OLX, conducted between January and April 2023, in turn, proves the success of iPhones in the premium used market. Among all top-of-the-line smartphone models sold on the site, the iPhone 11 ranked first, corresponding to 45,02% of sales, while iPhone 12 been in 21,40% of resellers and the iPhone 13em 18,41%.

We can see that, even though the devices were launched a few years ago, they are still quite successful among those looking for a second-hand device. More specifically, the iPhone 11 showed, in particular, a more intense demand, given the difference of more than 20 percentage points between it and the model 12, in second place on the list.

Up to tenth place, the shares of other devices — from brands such as Motorola e Xiaomi — of the sales stayed at the house of 1%.
In 11th place, we have the Galaxy Z Flip3who responded by 0,73% of pre-owned smartphone resellers. In the survey, OLX paid special attention to folding devices, with the Z Flip3 being the best seller in this category.

In this regard, the LG G8x Thinq ranked first, with a drop of 59% between the value when new and the resale value.
The site also recalled that it is important to take certain precautions when trading/buying items using the platform. You should avoid communicating with the advertiser outside the chat, in addition to remembering issues such as the invoice for the product sold.
