• Who gives the most money for trade-in phones?

  Compare what the trade-in takes off the price of the phone you get, and in what form. Apple gives credit; carriers generally give bill or device credit tied to a plan. At SubSell, a trade-in value is above our cash price and comes off your next phone; if your old phone’s cash price is higher than that phone’s price, you get the difference in cash. The trade-in bonus is never paid out in cash.

• Which is the most hacked phone?

  There is no official “most hacked phone” ranking. By volume, Android phones face far more malware, largely because of their numbers and apps installed from outside official stores; iPhones are targeted less often, and when they are, it is mostly by rare spyware aimed at specific people. The biggest risks are a phone that no longer gets updates, phishing, and an old phone sold without being erased.

• Is it worth selling your old phone?

  Usually yes. A phone loses value every year it sits in a drawer, and an old phone still holding your data is a risk. Keep it only if you will really use it, as a backup or a child’s first phone. Otherwise sell it while it is worth something; if it is too old to sell, it is taken back for free.
