Sell Your iPhone 13 Pro
The iPhone 13 Pro was the first standard-size iPhone to bring the ProMotion 120Hz OLED display. It remains a strong second-hand seller because the Pro feature set — triple camera with telephoto, LiDAR, stainless steel frame — still feels current.
Tell us the model, storage and condition. Final offers depend on inspection and testing.
Identify your iPhone 13 Pro
The 13 Pro has a stainless-steel frame (matte glass back), a 6.1-inch ProMotion OLED, and three rear cameras plus a LiDAR scanner inside a noticeably larger camera bump than the standard iPhone 13. Settings → General → About confirms 'iPhone 13 Pro'.
- Display: 6.1-inch ProMotion OLED, 10–120Hz adaptive refresh
- Rear cameras: triple 12MP (wide, ultrawide, telephoto 3×) + LiDAR scanner
- Frame: surgical-grade stainless steel
- Connector: Lightning
- Original colours: Graphite, Gold, Silver, Sierra Blue, Alpine Green (added 2022)
Storage variants accepted
First iPhone Pro to offer 1TB. The 256GB and 512GB tiers carry the strongest resale demand; the 1TB attracts a niche premium with creator buyers.
Where the iPhone 13 Pro sits in its generation
Top of the 13 line alongside the larger 13 Pro Max. The 13 Pro is where Apple introduced ProMotion (variable 10–120Hz) to iPhone, the 3× telephoto lens replacing the previous 2× / 2.5× systems, and macro photography.
How the iPhone 13 Pro compares to neighbouring models
Versus the standard iPhone 13: ProMotion display, third telephoto lens, LiDAR, stainless frame, larger and heavier. Versus the 13 Pro Max: same internals and cameras, smaller 6.1-inch screen, shorter battery life. Versus the 14 Pro: lacks Dynamic Island, A16 chip and the 48MP main camera.
Condition factors specific to the iPhone 13 Pro
- Stainless steel frame scratches and dents are very visible — check all four edges
- Larger camera bump glass is exposed and a common impact point
- ProMotion OLED is one of the more expensive replacements on this generation
- Matte glass back can pick up swirl marks but rarely cracks like the standard glossy back
Screen and casing
6.1-inch ProMotion OLED with 10–120Hz adaptive refresh. Replacement assemblies are priced higher than the standard 13's because the panel is more complex.
Battery condition
Battery Health & Charging check applies as on any iPhone. The 13 Pro's ProMotion display does drain faster, so many units sit slightly lower than the standard 13 on capacity after equivalent use.
Cameras and biometrics
Triple 12MP (wide, ultrawide, 3× telephoto) + LiDAR for low-light autofocus and AR. All three lenses should pass a quick test in the Camera app; LiDAR rarely fails but can be checked via supporting apps.
Charging port
Lightning. The 13 Pro is heavy enough that long-term port wear from dangling cables is occasionally seen — check for reliable charging.
Account & activation lock
Activation Lock must be removed before a full-value sale. Sign out of iCloud (Settings → your name → Sign Out) and disable Find My iPhone, then optionally factory reset via Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone. A locked device can only be valued for parts.
Read the activation lock guide →Network & IMEI status
Network-unlocked handsets typically attract better offers than carrier-locked equivalents because the buyer pool is wider. UK carriers (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three, Tesco Mobile) are required to unlock free of charge on request. Every device is IMEI-checked against the CheckMEND database before purchase.
Box, charger and accessories
Shipped without a power adapter, Lightning to USB-C cable included. The 13 Pro box is the distinct Pro-line packaging with the matt finish — bringing it adds value, particularly on near-mint and sealed-market trades.
13 Pros in clean cosmetic condition still trade strongly. Damaged units — cracked ProMotion display, telephoto fault, dented stainless frame — remain valuable due to the parts the device contains.
Before you request a valuation
- Sign out of iCloud and disable Find My iPhone
- Check Battery Health and note the percentage
- Confirm all three rear cameras + LiDAR function in the Camera app
- Inspect the stainless steel frame edges under good light
- Locate the original Pro-line box
- Confirm exact storage in Settings → General → About
