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 or upgrade. The smallest 5G iPhone still has admirers, but battery life was weak when new and is worse now.

Questions about the iPhone 12 mini
What is an iPhone 12 mini worth in November 2026?
As of October 29, 2026, Cash for Techs pays up to $105 cash for an iPhone 12 mini in excellent condition (64GB) in Sacramento. Good condition about $90, cracked screen from $35. Offers are confirmed by text before you meet. That is about 15% of its $699 launch price.
Does Cash for Techs buy the iPhone 12 mini?
Yes. We buy the iPhone 12 mini 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 mini now or wait?
Sell or upgrade. The smallest 5G iPhone still has admirers, but battery life was weak when new and is worse now. 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 mini from Cash for Techs?
Sometimes. We resell a share of the devices we buy. Use the "Buy a refurbished iPhone 12 mini" button, tell us the storage and color you want, and we will text you if one is available.
