Can I sell a locked iPhone 17e?
It depends on the lock. Carrier locks are accepted. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM management locks must be removed before the sale, because an iPhone 17e still tied to an account or organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never buy or unlock devices for anyone who is not the owner. It applies to the iPhone 17e exactly as Apple released it in 2026.
