Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: June 2026

iPhonesCompare is free to read. We keep it that way partly through affiliate links. This page explains exactly what that means so you can decide how much weight to give our recommendations.

What an affiliate link is

Some links on this site point to partners who sell or buy iPhones — refurbished marketplaces, trade-in and resale services, carriers, and Amazon for accessories. If you click one of those links and then buy, sell, or sign up, the partner may pay us a commission. You pay exactly the same price whether or not you use our link. There is no markup and no surcharge.

Which partners we work with

• Refurbished iPhones — marketplaces such as Back Market, plus Amazon Renewed for some models.
• Trade-in & resale — services that buy your old iPhone, such as Decluttr, SellCell, and Gazelle.
• Carriers — selected mobile plans where a switch can save you money.
• Accessories — cases, chargers, MagSafe, and screen protectors via the Amazon Associates program (tracking tag iphonescompare-20).

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

How this affects what you read

It doesn't change our rankings. We compare iPhones on dimensions, weight, battery, camera, and price using published specifications, and we say when a model isn't worth buying — including when the best move is to keep the phone you already have or buy nothing at all. A partner paying a higher commission does not earn a higher placement.

Where money links appear, we mark them clearly and add a short disclosure on the page itself, so you always know when a link is monetized before you click it.
