When it launched in 2017, it was a jaw-dropping $999. People gasped. They clutched their pearls. “A thousand bucks for a phone?!”
Today? You can snag a used one for way less. We’re talking $200 to $400, depending on condition and storage. Not bad for something that still takes decent selfies, right?
What Does “Used” Really Cost?
Let’s break it down like we’re splitting a check. A beat-up, scratched-to-hell iPhone 10? Maybe $150. A “good” one with a few scuffs? Around $250.
An excellent condition one—with a clean screen and full battery health—might run you $350 to $400. That’s still less than a new iPhone 15. Way less.
Check sites like Swappa or Back Market. Just avoid the shady “too good to be true” deals on Facebook Marketplace. You know the ones.
