Sell your iPhone 14 Pro. Still the surprise of this site.

14 Pro or Pro Max. Owners write these off years before the market does, and are regularly wrong about it.

The 14 Pro is the phone people are most often surprised by. It is three generations back, it is still on Lightning, and its owner has usually decided it is old. A 14 Pro Max in reasonable condition is still worth a genuinely meaningful amount of money.

Two things hold it up. It introduced the always-on display and the 48MP camera, both of which second-hand buyers actively compare, and it is still comfortably inside Apple's software support window. A phone that still gets current iOS is a daily phone to a buyer rather than a spare.

The honest counterweight is the connector. Being the last Lightning Pro puts a ceiling on it that we cannot price around, because a buyer weighing a 14 Pro against a 15 Pro is weighing one cable against another. It is priced in rather than sprung on you later.

Every one of these has two numbers.

What it is worth working, and what it is worth faulty. Both are real, both are yours in about a minute, and both depend on the actual device rather than a best case printed on a page. That is why the number lives in the calculator and not in a table here.

If you are upgrading, you are not selling. You are part-paying.

14 Pro to 16 Pro gets you USB-C, a much better camera and a long software runway without paying the current-generation premium. It is the move we see most often from this generation.

Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.

The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.

What actually moves the number.

Screen burn on the always-on display

Uncommon but real on heavily used units, and exactly the sort of thing an owner stops noticing. Put a plain white image on screen at full brightness and look for a faint ghost of the clock or the Dynamic Island before you describe the condition.

It is still Lightning

The honest bad news on this page. It caps what a 14 Pro fetches against a 15 Pro, it is not something we can price around, and it is already reflected in the number rather than deducted afterwards.

Battery health, which is now often decisive

Most 14 Pros have crossed or are approaching 80%. Below that line the offer changes noticeably, because a replacement becomes something the next owner has to budget for rather than defer.

Still on current iOS

This is the quiet thing holding the price up. The day Apple drops a model from current iOS is the day it stops being a daily phone in a buyer's eyes, and the 14 Pro has not reached it.

Things that do not disqualify it.

Every one of these lowers the offer. Not one of them ends it. Pick the matching condition, say what is wrong in the notes, and the price you are shown already accounts for it.

  • Cracked or shattered screen, front or back glass
  • Battery health under 80%, or a phone that dies at 30%
  • Face ID that has stopped working
  • Charging port that only works if you hold the cable just so
  • Camera with dust, haze or a rattling stabiliser
  • Water damage, including phones that dried out and seemed fine
  • Will not switch on at all

iPhone 14 Pro questions.

Yes, and this is the answer that surprises people most on this site. A 14 Pro Max in reasonable condition is worth a meaningful amount. The phones that are genuinely marginal start several generations further back, and even those we still buy.

One minute, one number.
