After all, in 2010, the price of a flagship device like the iPhone 4 was around $599. By comparison, today the latest top of the range iPhone 12 Pro Max will cost you $1,399 (and some phones like the Galaxy Fold retailed for $1,999).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Through Jan 1st &#8211; Dec 31st in 2020, cell phone trade-in website, BankMyCell, recorded buyback values from 310 popular phones hourly. Our annual trade-in market report uncovers which brands, operating systems, and particular smartphone series burn consumers&#8217; cash the
