How much is my used iPhone worth in Montreal in 2026?
What sets the price of a used iPhone in Montreal in 2026: model, storage, condition, battery. Each model's price today, and where to sell for cash on the spot.
Direct answer
At SubSell, a like-new used iPhone sells for under $200 for the oldest models and over $1,000 for the newest, paid in cash on the spot. The exact price depends on the model, storage capacity, physical condition and battery health; today’s price for every model is in our iPhone buyback price index.
Your model’s price, up to date
Buyback prices move with every Apple release, so this guide does not copy them: each model page shows today’s price for Like New condition, capacity by capacity. For Good, Acceptable or Broken condition, the exact price is given after a free 5-minute check.
- 17 series: iPhone 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro, 17 Air, 17
- 16 series: iPhone 16 Pro Max, 16 Pro, 16
- 15 series: iPhone 15 Pro Max, 15 Pro, 15
- 14 series: iPhone 14 Pro Max, 14 Pro, 14
- 13 and 12 series: iPhone 13 Pro Max, 13, 12 Pro Max, 12
- The oldest: iPhone 11 Pro Max, 11, SE (3rd gen), XR, X
The whole lineup on one page, from the best-paid model to the entry price: the iPhone buyback price index for Montreal.
The 4 factors that adjust your price
- Storage capacity: on the same model, the highest capacity is worth noticeably more than the lowest; the “Price by capacity” table on each model page gives the exact gap. Check your capacity in Settings → General → About.
- Physical condition: Like New gets the maximum price shown; Good (light wear), Acceptable (visible wear but working) and Broken (cracked screen or other damage, but it works) are all bought, at the price confirmed during the check.
- Battery health: iOS shows the maximum capacity in Settings → Battery → Battery Health. Below 85%, the price drops slightly. Below 80%, the drop is a little larger.
- iCloud status: Find My iPhone must be disabled. An iPhone still tied to an iCloud account cannot be bought: Activation Lock blocks it for anyone else — fix this before coming in.

Conclusion
For most iPhones, SubSell pays in immediate cash rather than Apple credit, and tries to beat your Apple Trade-In quote. The only case where Apple is competitive: in-store credit toward your exact next purchase — otherwise, SubSell cash gives you more flexibility.
