iPhone 12: what it's worth in November 2026
As of October 29, 2026, Cash for Techs pays up to $125 cash for an iPhone 12 in excellent condition (64GB) in Sacramento. Good condition about $110, cracked screen from $45. Offers are confirmed by text before you meet.
The first 5G iPhone and the first with the flat-edge design. Still a capable phone, but the 64GB base model is cramped and the battery is usually past its best.

Keep it, sell it, or upgrade?
Makes sense if it still gets updates and does everything you need. Values only fall, but a working phone you own is worth the most to you.
Sell if you are upgrading anyway; keep if it still runs everything you need. It is five generations back and values fall after every launch.

Questions about the iPhone 12
What is an iPhone 12 worth in November 2026?
As of October 29, 2026, Cash for Techs pays up to $125 cash for an iPhone 12 in excellent condition (64GB) in Sacramento. Good condition about $110, cracked screen from $45. Offers are confirmed by text before you meet. That is about 16% of its $799 launch price.
Does Cash for Techs buy the iPhone 12?
Yes. We buy the iPhone 12 in any working condition, including cracked screens, worn batteries and carrier-locked units, at an offer adjusted for condition. Tell us the storage and condition in the form and you will get a number by text.
How does the meetup work?
We meet at a public spot in Midtown Sacramento, or in Oakland by appointment. The exact place is agreed by text when we confirm your offer. You bring the device and a photo ID; we check it in front of you and pay cash on the spot. The offer confirmed by text is the offer you get when the device matches what you described.
Should I sell my iPhone 12 now or wait?
Sell if you are upgrading anyway; keep if it still runs everything you need. It is five generations back and values fall after every launch. Used values drop after every new launch, so if you plan to upgrade, selling a few weeks before the next release usually gets you more.
Can I buy a refurbished iPhone 12 from Cash for Techs?
Sometimes. We resell a share of the devices we buy. Use the "Buy a refurbished iPhone 12" button, tell us the storage and color you want, and we will text you if one is available.
