The iPhones are the smartphones that devalue the least over time. This has been demonstrated by a study carried out by the firm declutrr, which has prepared a ranking with the 10 mobile phones that have devalued the least in the last twelve months. Eight of the ten devices are iPhones. Apple is not only one of the most influential brands on the technology scene, its products are also some of the most sought-after and desired on the second-hand market.

Every time a new iPhone model is introduced, web portals that sell used or refurbished products are filled with older models at discounted prices. Surely the most fanatics are already thinking of selling their iPhone 12 while waiting for the iPhone 13 to go on sale, which will be presented today at 7:00 p.m. (Spanish time).

Before selling, giving away or renewing a device, you must take into account a series of steps that will allow you to sell your old iPhone at the best price and get the maximum possible profit from it. Above all, we must make sure to completely eliminate personal information: photos, social network applications, passwords, bank details...

Transfer information to the new device

First of all, if you have exchanged your old iPhone for another one, you can automatically transfer the data from your old device to the new one. If you're using iOS 11 or later, the easiest way to do this is through the 'Quick Start' tool, which makes it easy to migrate data from one device to another. If it's an iPhone running iOS 10 or earlier, use iCloud, iTunes, or the Finder to transfer information to the new device.

To make a backup copy of your photos and files, the easiest option is iCloud, which stores photos and videos to make them available from any Apple device (or PC). To check that backup is enabled go to 'Settings' > 'Photos' and make sure iCloud is turned on.

Delete personal information from your old device

Once you've stored and transferred your data, it's time to delete personal information from your old phone. First, sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, and the App Store. If you're using iOS 10.3 or later, go to 'Settings' > 'your name', scroll down and tap 'Log out'. Enter your Apple ID password and tap 'Disable'. If you're using iOS 10.2 or earlier, go to 'Settings' > 'iCloud' > 'Sign off'.
