The release of the iPhone 14 is almost here. If you plan on grabbing Apple’s new handset, there’s a certain question that you need to answer: what are you going to do with your current smartphone?

If you don’t plan on passing on your old handset to a friend or family member, there are better options available than just tossing it into your tech junk drawer. Options that’ll let you save a few hundred dollars off your iPhone 14 plan.

If you’re looking to trade in your old smartphone for a brand new iPhone 14, here are all the trade-in deals being offered by Telstra and Vodafone.

However, if you look at Telstra’s directory of trade-in estimates, it lists the iPhone 13 Pro Max (1TB) as having a value of up to $1,150.
