What moves the price on either one?

Configuration. Extra memory and storage lift the figure; the price check lists only combinations Apple actually built.

Condition. Grades run from Like New to Damaged, and cracked glass or dents cost the most.

Function and battery. Anything needing repair comes off the price, and a battery under 80% health lowers it.

Eligibility. Either one needs to be signed out of its Apple Account, with Find My and Activation Lock off and no lock or lost/stolen flag.

Unsure? Settings > General > About lists the capacity, and "Carrier Lock: No SIM restrictions" means unlocked.

Side-by-side questions

Is the iPhone 12 Pro worth more than the iPhone 12?

Matched for configuration and condition, the iPhone 12 Pro normally earns more. Memory, storage, grade and included accessories still move each figure, so price both separately. The iPhone price is built from what the same configuration resells for right now, minus only what our technicians would need to fix. Sellers get the identical offer a seller in any other state would, so the on-screen number is a fair yardstick against Apple credit or a private sale.

Which details separate the iPhone 12 from the iPhone 12 Pro?

Look at the model identifier (iPhone13,2 vs iPhone13,3), model number (A2172 vs A2341). The Model Name appears under Settings > General > About. The About screen on the iPhone lists its exact name, year and identifier. Type any identifier or model number into our lookup to land on the matching iPhone page.
