Selling Your iPhone in Switzerland: How to Get the Best Price

In many drawers lies an old iPhone quietly losing value. Because one thing is certain: with every month and every new iPhone generation, the buy-back price drops. If you want to sell, sell now, and with a system.

Private sale or buy-back: the honest calculation

On classified-ad platforms you often get slightly more on paper. In return, you invest time in the listing, photos and price negotiations, meet strangers, risk scam attempts and remain liable if something is disputed after the sale. With a professional buy-back you get a guaranteed instant price, ship the device for free or bring it to a store, and have the money in your account within 24 hours after inspection. For most people, that is the better deal overall.

How to get the best price

• Sell in time: An iPhone loses the most value around the launch of the new generation in autumn. Sell before, not after.
• Know your condition: Working devices with an intact display fetch significantly more. Small repairs can pay off before selling; if in doubt, ask our repair workshop.
• Include accessories: Original packaging and cables improve the impression, but they are not a must for our buy-back price.
• Declare honestly: Every device is inspected during buy-back. If you conceal scratches or defects, you end up with a lower counter-offer; honest details save time.

Step by step: selling your iPhone at remarket.ch

1. Select your model on remarket.ch/verkaufen and state its condition; you see the price immediately.
2. Send the device in for free or drop it off at a store in Basel, Bern or Solothurn.
3. We inspect the device; in case of discrepancies you get a transparent counter-offer.
4. Express payout within 24 hours after inspection.

Essential beforehand: back up your data and sign out

Before you hand over your iPhone: create a backup (iCloud or computer), disable Find My, sign out of iCloud and fully erase the device via Settings, General, Reset. You'll find the complete list in our checklist before selling your phone.

Or trade it in directly?

If you want a newer model anyway, you can trade in your old iPhone directly when buying and have the buy-back value credited. That saves a step, and you never have two devices lying around at once.
