The average life of an iPhone is just 3 years. After 3 years, the iPhone starts to slow down, and its operating system or iOS stops supporting the latest versions of in-built and downloaded mobile applications.

Moreover, Apple Inc. launches a new model of iPhone every year and sometimes, even thrice a year to keep giving its customers the most innovative and technologically advanced smartphones in the world. Apple prides itself on innovation and upgrades its iPhones so fast that even staunch iPhone users agree that the old iPhones start to look like scrap in front of the new ones.

But because iPhones are one of the most expensive smartphones in the world, iPhone buyers always need a convincing reason to purchase the latest model. They frequently get questioned as to why do they need a new iPhone when they already have one that works just fine. To silence those who lack exquisite taste, iPhone users play a creative mind game. They get rid of their old iPhones to create an excuse for buying the latest ones.

Yeah! iPhone users, we know that you’ve got quite a few tricks up your sleeves but don’t worry, we will not only cover for you but will also tell you the 3 best ways to get rid of your old iPhone.

So, let’s get right to it.

Trade It!

You can always trade your old iPhone for something much better and more desired. Think about it. Haven’t you always secretly admired your friend’s Easton baseball bat? And maybe, out of sheer bad luck, your friend just happened to drop his Android phone 2 storeys down, giving you the perfect opportunity to put your old iPhone up for a trade offer. Besides, it’s a win-win situation. Your friend gets an iPhone (which is already a huge upgrade from an Android phone) in good condition that can act as a replacement for his Android phone, and you get the Easton baseball bat that you have wanted so bad but just couldn’t manage to get.

But if trading is not really your thing, then maybe you should try giving it away. You may have younger siblings, older parents or teenagers who could really put an old iPhone to good use.

Sell It!

These days, people don’t even give good advice for free, so why must you give your old iPhone away for free, especially if it is in really good condition and has a high resale value? The chances are that with a few quick fixes, you will be able to get more than half the price of your iPhone, and this money could be used to cover 20% to 30% cost of your new iPhone. Just erase the data on your old iPhone, get a new screen protector, and maybe include your old Apple earphones in the deal before posting an advertisement to sell your old iPhone.

Just make sure that all the data that you had in your old iPhone was either transferred or backed up before being permanently deleted from the phone.

To make sure that you have properly deleted all your personal data from your old iPhone before selling it, take a look at this guide provided by Apple Support.

Shred It!

But if your iPhone is so old and frayed that is takes a long snooze right when you are in the middle of typing an important message, takes more than 5 minutes to back up all the data from your chats, makes funny sounds when you are on work calls, and just outright refuses to support new applications, then it is time to lay it on its eternal resting place. Yes! It is time to shred it!

The iPhone shredding services guarantee you safe and environmentally friendly destruction of your iPhone. Their primary concerns are both your privacy and protection of the environment. You can either take your old iPhone to your nearest iPhone shredding company or call them to your place for collection.

In both cases, a heavy-duty shredder will be used to literally shred your old iPhone into small pieces. These small pieces of glass and metal are then sent to recycling plants to be recycled. Other parts like silicon chips, batteries and precious metals like gold and silver are sold to cell phone manufacturers as raw materials.

After safely shredding your iPhone at an off-site location, the iPhone shredding company will issue you a Certificate of Destruction as proof that your iPhone has been safely destroyed and no attempts were made to breach your personal data.
