> 3. Sell it the moment the AppleCare runs out on eBay. Don’t part exchange it.
If you destroy the device a day before AppleCare runs out you can swap it for a brand new one, easier to sell.

I’ve had no problems selling anything yet either. Usually goes within 6 hours here at a well inflated price.
I bought an iPhone 12 December 2019 and decided to swap it out for a 13 pro a couple of weeks back for the camera improvements. Apple accidentally refunded the entire AppleCare cost and I sold it for £190 less than I paid for it. So TCO was £16 a month.
Also, doesn’t applecare+ cover scratches and dents anyway? They’d probably swap out a perfectly functional phone over minor damage if you insist, never tried that though.
The iPhone SE is indestructible, I have a few of them. Never managed to break one.
