Can I sell a locked iPhone 18 Pro Max?
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 18 Pro Max 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 18 Pro Max exactly as Apple released it in 2026.

How much is a locked iPhone 18 Pro Max worth?
Locks do not change the cosmetic grade. Clear the lock first, then price the iPhone 18 Pro Max on its condition like any other. Each grade step lowers the iPhone 18 Pro Max offer from its like-new figure of up to $1,230.
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| Like New | Front, back and frame look new, without a single mark. |
| Good | Faint marks you spot only up close; no cracks or dents. |
| Fair | Obvious scratches or scuffs, or small dents along the frame. |
| Poor | Deep scratches, heavy scuffing or dents, with everything still working. |
| Damaged | A bent frame or heavy dents, yet it powers on and works. |
