When is the best time to sell my iPhone 12 Pro?
Apple usually announces its latest iPhone every September or October. Whenever a new iPhone goes on sale, offers on older models will go down in price. So, if you’re planning to sell your old iPhone 12 Pro, it’s a good idea to do so before then.
All that said, there’s never really a bad time to declutter your old devices. If you have an unused iPhone 12 Pro that’s gathering dust, now is a good time to sell it.
iPhone 12 Pro price history
The iPhone 12 Pro was released in October 2020. At launch, it was priced at £999 for 128GB of storage, £1,099 for 256GB, and £1,299 for the 512GB version.
It was announced alongside the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
It’s no longer available directly from Apple, as it was discontinued after the launch of the iPhone 13 range. Nevertheless, you can still sell it to or buy it from recyclers, who may resell it as a refurbished device.
Will my iPhone 12 Pro be recycled?
Yes – but what happens depends on the condition of your device, as well as the current smartphone market.
If your phone is in good condition, or it’s a more recent model, it’ll likely be refurbished and sold on. Older devices and phones in less good condition are more likely to be dismantled, their parts used to refurbish other phones.
Otherwise, if it can’t be refurbished or reused, it’ll be taken apart. Recyclable materials will be melted down and reused elsewhere, while other parts will be disposed of safely.
Whether it’s reused or recycled, it’ll be dealt with in an environmentally friendly way.
Can I get paid for a broken iPhone 12 Pro?
Yes, you can. In fact, most recyclers will gladly accept broken or damaged phones. This could be anything like cosmetic damage (including cracked screens, scratches and dents, broken buttons), faulty pixels on the display, or operating system problems.
Its value will be less than a fully-functioning phone in good condition – but you should still be able to get some money for it, nonetheless. However, recyclers are unlikely to accept water-damaged devices, or ones that are significantly damaged (for example, if it’s snapped in two).
Each recycling company will have its own conditions on what counts as broken and what they’ll accept, so be sure to check. To get the most accurate quotes for your iPhone 12 Pro, it’s best to be as honest as you can about its condition.

Can I trade my old iPhone 12 Pro for a new one?
Yes, you can trade in your old iPhone 12 Pro for a new phone – and there are a couple of ways to do this.
First, you can trade in your old iPhone directly to Apple. This gets you a discount towards a new iPhone – which will come in handy if you’re planning to buy your device directly from Apple.
However, Apple’s trade-in programme may not necessarily offer the best price on your old phone. Not to mention, you may be able to find betters deals for new handsets by shopping around.
To weigh up your trade-in options, see our comparison table above. We’ll show you the quotes currently offered by other companies we work with, so you can compare all your options and choose the best one for you.
