Is it worth upgrading from the iPhone 16 Plus to the iPhone 18 Pro?
After selling an iPhone 16 Plus at the best US quote, an iPhone 18 Pro 256GB costs $597 in the United States (2 Nov 2026). Our default verdict: KEEP IT.
Your 16 Plus is fine. You want a new phone. You don't need one.
- Your phone still sells for about 50% of the new one's price. That share drops every year you wait.
- At 2 years old, it is still well inside Apple's update window.
What the iPhone 18 Pro adds over the iPhone 16 Plus
- A20 Pro chip, 2 generations newer than your A18.
- 36 hours of video playback, against 27 on yours (both with a new battery).
- A 120Hz screen instead of 60Hz, so scrolling is noticeably smoother.
- A telephoto lens, which your phone does not have.
In the United States, an iPhone 18 Pro 256GB costs $1,199. After selling an iPhone 16 Plus it costs $597 to $769. Your own result depends on battery health, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your phone.
If the battery is the problem, a battery replacement at an Apple Store or authorised repair shop costs far less than a new phone.
