Apple is more convenient, but you're paying a big premium to go through them.
If you sell privately, bring it to somewhere public like a food court or the Calgary police buy and sell zones. Insist on cash. Don't forget to wipe phone and disable find my phone before selling.
I haven't sold a phone in a while though. I've just done trickle down to my parents and in-laws for almost 5-6 years now.
And don't just trust things go well even if you buy from Apple. Make sure to confirm that all the data is still on the phone after the transition. Heck, if you're not too tech savy it might be a good idea to pay extra for iCloud and upload everything on your phone as a back up just for the period before and after you're doing the transition. This way you can confirm that you don't accidentally lose anything you cannot afford to lose like priceless photos and videos etc.

Thanks. I know all of that except the part about determining the phone’s value.
