i have an iphone 5 with tmobile i purchased last may during their mothers day sale, its paid for and has been in a full body case ever since, but as you know the release of the 5s/5c /discontinued the iphone5 i know the value has dropped some but did it really drop? im trying to lie to myself and call it a classic lol, im thinking about keeping it since they stop making them and just buy the 6...i sold my old iphone 4s yesterday for 100 with a crack screen (small crack) at a mall kiosk, i wonder how much i will get for the 5..
Got a tip for us?

Is my iPhone 5 even worth trading in?

Here in the UK an iphone 5 in good condition still goes for around £200. Possibly more if its boxed with accessories and unlocked to any network.
Sold my White 16GB Verizon iPhone 5 on Ebay for $430 last week in January. 2-2.5 months ago.
Great condition (cased the whole time), including the original packaging (even screen protectors).
I think the general rule is that the max you could expect to make for reselling N-1 iPhones in the first six months is $400-500. Now that we're about a year out, it's looking more like N-2 prices ($300-400).
If I was selling it now I'd probably aim for $350, wouldn't be surprised to get lucky with $375.
Heck, I sold a great condition Verizon 4S 32GB last August for $350 on Ebay right after the 5S came out. They hold value well.
Another thing in your favor is that the iPhone 5 is the only metallic generation model of its kind. For buyers who just want a nice looking iPhone, it's like getting a 5S without the fingerprint sensor for less than the price of a 5C and usually off-contract.

A quick search on eBay shows them selling between $300-360 for the 16gb model. You don't have to sell it on eBay, but that's roughly the going rate.
A bunch of my friends still have the iPhone 4...
I would definitely say your 5 is worth something
