iPhone XS FAQ:

How much does a used iPhone XS cost?

At Glyde, we offer the iPhone XS in certified pre-owned condition for low prices. Prices change frequently, but today’s average cost of a used iPhone XS is about $475.

What colors are available for the iPhone XS?

Apple offers three refined colors: black, white, and gold. They’re not as vibrant as the colors on some of the other phone models, but each color has a distinctly different look.

What storage options are available on the iPhone XS?

Apple offers 64GB, 256GB, and 512GB options for this phone – the iPhone 11 line is the only other line of phones with a 512GB capacity. As with all other iPhones, there is no option for expandable storage. If you’re looking to store some photos or videos, iCloud storage is an easy and affordable option.

Does the iPhone XS have a good camera?

The iPhone XS has an excellent 12-megapixel camera, which is great for capturing everything from slow-motion video to dramatic snapshots. It has telephoto lens capabilities, which enables portrait mode pictures. If you’re looking for professional-grade portraits on a budget, the iPhone XS is an excellent option.

When will used iPhone XS prices drop?

Our used iPhone prices are always low, but they drop over time, as new iPhones are released. It’s common to see a significant price drop in the late fall, after Apple has released their latest iPhone. Our prices on Apple’s discontinued premium models are generally 40-60% lower than retail.

What makes the iPhone XS different from the iPhone XR?

The iPhone XS was released around the same time as the iPhone XR, but there are quite a few differences between the two phones. This phone has telephoto lens capabilities and an OLED display, while the XR does not have telephoto lens capabilities and is equipped with a LCD display. The XS comes in three colors, and the XR comes in six.

Is the iPhone XS cheaper than other iPhones?

The iPhone XS is no longer the newest iPhone in Apple’s lineup, meaning it continues to get more affordable. At Glyde, we offer used phones for low prices in certified pre-owned condition. The average used iPhone XS for sale on Glyde costs about 30% less than the iPhone 11 but costs about 15% more than the iPhone X on average.

Premium Pre-Owned

Why buy used phones on Glyde? All our phones are in like-new condition, receiving a Premium Pre-Owned grade after 30+ functional tests and a comprehensive cosmetic inspection. Only about 1 in 10 used phones qualify.

Buying Premium Pre-Owned costs roughly 15%-80% less than buying new-in-box. These price discounts are based on the MSRP the last year the device was manufactured and sold new-in-box by the OEM. For example, phones like the iPhone 8 that are still in production and sold new-in-box by Apple, are compared to the list price currently on apple.com. Phones no longer in production, like the iPhone 6S, are compared to what Apple sold a new-in-box 6S in 2017, the last year it was in production. The longer the device has been out of production, the greater the discount you should expect.

When comparing our Premium Pre-Owned prices to other websites, remember condition has a dramatic effect on the price. So if the price for the same used device is lower on another website, it’s because the condition is not comparable.
