Mobile phones are usually pawned at 80% – 90% of market price. However, many factors affect the price of a mobile phone, from the exterior condition to the internal condition. Read on to find out more.

Phone Exterior Condition

Exterior conditions such as dents and chipping paints around the camera lens in the above pictures will lower the value of your mobile phone. Depending on the severity, the price will be deducted from $100 onwards.

iPhone Parts and Service History

For Apple iPhones, Under Settings > General > About, you can check the service history of your iPhone. If any parts of the phone have been replaced previously, a warning sign will be shown as ‘Unknown Part’ for OEM parts or ‘Genuine Apple Part’ for Original Apple parts.

You can find your iPhone battery health under Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging. Battery health below 90% will have a lower value.
