The iPhone SE (2nd generation, 2020) has the A13 Bionic chip; the iPhone SE (3rd generation, 2022) has the A15 Bionic and 5G. Both have a 4.7-inch display and Touch ID.

iPhone SE trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
Generation
The 3rd generation (2022) is worth much more than the 2nd.
Touch ID
A Home button or Touch ID that doesn't work lowers the offer.
Battery
Worn batteries are common on these models.
Storage
128GB and 256GB add value over 64GB.
Carrier
Unlocked phones earn more.
Is my iPhone SE eligible?
It needs to power on, have a working touchscreen, be signed out of its Apple Account with Find My off, have a clean IMEI with no carrier balance, and be legally yours.
Scratches, cracked glass, worn batteries and repaired parts can still qualify at a lower offer. Non-working, locked, blacklisted, financed, liquid-damaged or swollen-battery iPhones can't get an instant quote. Full eligibility rules.
Accessories that affect your offer
- Original box
Before you sell
- Check Battery Health in Settings > Battery.
- Unpair your Apple Watch, then sign out of your Apple Account.
- Remove your SIM card or eSIM, then erase all content and settings.
How we grade your iPhone SE's condition
Choose the grade that matches the outside of your iPhone SE. Working problems are asked separately, so you're never marked down twice for the same thing.
No scratches or scuffs on the screen, back or frame.
Light scratches you only notice up close. No cracks or dents.
Visible scratches or scuffs, or small dents on the frame.
Deep scratches, heavy scuffs or dents. Still fully working.
Bent frame or heavy dents. Still powers on and works.
Won't power on, no usable picture, locked, liquid damaged. These can't get an instant quote.
