best price i can get right now for a 13PM is between $570 (trade in to Apple) - &700 (sale privately). 13PM being the last U.S. spec iphone that still has a sim card slot makes me want to hold onto it, in case i go to another country that has issue with esim, other than that, i have no other use for it. the value for 13PM will go down drastically when this trading in for phone 15 wave passes by. should i keep or get rid of the 13PM?

I'd sell it and just buy a cheap phone when traveling to a country with issues with eSIM.

One thing I wish I did was sell all my devices once I upgrade as it just ends up getting a bad battery after years of 0% charge, something on display or lost in a desk's drawer.

its better to sell now itelf, Since you mentioned you wont be using 13 PM other than for physical sim slot. Now, the operators supporting e-sim increased across globe and its only gonna get better down the lane. so no point keeping a 600$ worthy phone idle without any use

I’ve always had regrets when I kept onto my old iPhones. Mostly because I could have sold them for so much more (if i hadn’t kept them)

Almost kept my 13 Pro Max this year but checked how much they were going for (i was guessing around $500 or so) and was surprised to see them going for $700+

Sold it for $700 last week and I am one happy dude.
