iPhone resale

Where can I sell my iPhone for cash?

A top-configuration iPhone in like-new shape currently prices at up to $1,230.

Sell iPhone

iPhone prices dip hardest in the weeks after each September launch, so selling just before the event or straight after usually pays more.

An unlocked phone with a clean IMEI and a healthy battery fetches the most, but cracked glass or a carrier lock only lowers the number.

Resale value

Which iPhones hold value best in 2026?

Pro Max models keep the most, then the Pro, then the standard and Plus. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max (2026) and the iPhone 17 Pro line receive our highest offers, and iPhone 15 Pro and later stay in demand because they run Apple Intelligence.

mini and SE models have a niche following, and the iPhone Air appeals to people who want the thinnest iPhone. iPhone 11 to 13 sell mostly as budget phones, so battery health and an unlocked status count most for them.

  • Top: iPhone 18 Pro Max, 18 Pro, 17 Pro Max
  • Strong: iPhone 17, Air, 16 Pro, 15 Pro
  • Budget: iPhone 11 to 14, SE

Getting an iPhone ready to sell

Clear any carrier balance, back up, sign out of your Apple Account and erase it. The prepaid label covers the rest.

Working iPhones from the 11 onward qualify, along with the SE. The price check lists only the storage and carrier options your model really has, and screens eligibility before naming a figure.

A phone can trip over more checks than other devices: Find My, Activation Lock, carrier blocks and unpaid balances. Each is asked about up front, and every IMEI is screened before the label goes out.

An unfamiliar A-number usually means a phone built for another country; choose "Non-U.S. model" as the carrier. A dash means it is not listed yet.

Resale value

What is a used iPhone worth today?

The name on the box is only the start. Configuration and condition can split two iPhones of the same year by a wide margin.

Generation+Specs+Cosmetics+Function+Resale demand=Your price

Every offer starts from what your configuration resells for this month. We then subtract only for visible damage or anything that fails testing.

See my price

What changes the price of a used iPhone?

The quote tool asks about each of these, so the number you see already accounts for them.

Model and year

Newer phones and Pro models keep the most.

Capacity

Every storage step adds to the price.

Carrier lock

Unlocked beats locked and non-U.S. units.

Outside

Scratches and dents trim it step by step.

Front and back glass

Cracks are the deduction we see most.

Face ID or Touch ID

A failed sensor is a big deduction.

Battery

Under 80% or a service notice lowers it.

Parts history

An "Unknown Part" notice lowers it.

Carrier status

Does an unlocked iPhone sell for more?

Yes. An unlocked phone can go to any buyer, so it is priced highest. Locked and non-U.S. phones still qualify at a lower figure.

UnlockedAbout reads "Carrier Lock: No SIM restrictions". Full price.

Tied to AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile or another U.S. carrierAccepted once fully paid with a clean IMEI, a little below unlocked.

Built for another countryA different A-number, often with a SIM tray. Accepted at a lower price.

Balance owed or blockedNot accepted until the carrier clears it.

IMEI screening

Why does my iPhone need an IMEI check?

The IMEI is the phone's 15-digit fingerprint, and carriers use it to block phones reported lost, stolen or unpaid.

Screening happens before the label is sent, so a blocked phone is caught before it ever leaves your hands.

  1. Look it upDial *#06#, or scroll to IMEI in Settings > General > About.
  2. Type it into the price checkThe 15-digit format is validated on the spot to catch typos.
  3. We screen itBefore the label goes out we confirm the phone is neither blocked nor financed.

Battery

Does battery health change the price?

It can. Settings > Battery > Battery Health shows the Maximum Capacity figure.

80% or moreNothing deducted.

Under 80%, or a service noticeA partial deduction, since it is replaced before resale.

UnsureNothing deducted up front; we measure it on the bench.

Swollen battery or lifting screenOutside the price check. Stop charging, do not ship, and email us.

Checks first

Can I sell my iPhone to you?

We screen for these before showing a price, so there are no surprises after you ship.

Accepted when

The iPhone turns on, the touchscreen responds, it is signed out of the Apple Account with Find My off, the IMEI is clean with nothing owed to a carrier, and it is yours.

Keep in mind

Scratches, cracked glass, a tired battery and third-party repairs only lower the price. Dead, locked, blacklisted, still-financed, liquid-damaged or swollen iPhones are outside the online price check. Full list of what we accept.

Which condition grade fits my iPhone?

Grade only the outside here. Faults such as a dead button are a separate question, so one problem is never counted twice.

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.

Not eligible

No power, a blank or missing picture, an active lock, or water damage. A device with any of these cannot be priced online.

Read the full process

What you get when you sell with SellYouriPads

Six promises that apply to every iPad, iPhone and Mac we buy.

A price tied to your exact unit

Storage, chip, connectivity and condition each move the number, so a top-spec model is never paid as a base one.

Shipping on us

Once you accept, we email a free prepaid, trackable shipping label by email. You never pay postage.

Money without the wait

Payment goes out within 2 business days after your device passes inspection, by PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH), your choice.

Your data, erased again

Even after you reset it, we run our own erase on every device before it moves on.

No silent price changes

If testing finds something you didn't mention, you get the reason in writing and decide. Say no to a revised price and your device is returned free of charge.

People who answer

Write to sales@sellyouripads.com and a member of the team replies (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm ET).

Protect your data

How do I erase my iPhone before selling it?

Six steps, done before the box is sealed. Skip one and the device can be held at inspection until it's fixed.

Our team runs its own erase on every arrival as a second layer. If an account is still signed in, we email you and pause until it's removed.

  1. Save a backupiCloud Backup or a computer keeps your messages, photos and apps.
  2. Unpair any Apple WatchDo it in the Watch app first, or the watch stays tied to this phone.
  3. Sign out of Apple AccountSettings > your name > Sign Out, which also disables Find My and Activation Lock.
  4. Move your SIM or eSIMKeep the physical SIM, or transfer the eSIM to your new phone through your carrier.
  5. Factory resetSettings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
  6. Pad and sealA small box with padding on every side is all a phone needs.

Second life

Where your old iPad goes next

A tablet in a drawer helps nobody. Sold on, it becomes a student's first iPad or a spare for a small business, and one less device in the e-waste stream.

Reused as is

Working units are cleaned, retested and passed to a new owner.

Repaired when it pays

A cracked screen or tired battery is replaced when the fix costs less than the device is worth.

Recovered for parts

Whatever can't be reused goes to certified e-waste recyclers for material recovery.

Good to know before selling an iPhone

Is there a best time to sell?

Prices slide all year and drop harder after each fall launch. If you have already upgraded, the sooner the better.

Do repairs lower the price?

Settings > General > About > Parts and Service History lists past repairs. Genuine Apple parts cost nothing; a part marked "Unknown Part" lowers the price because it can affect features and resale.

What happens on the test bench?

We confirm model, storage and carrier, make sure Find My is off, screen the IMEI, then test the screen, Face ID or Touch ID, cameras, audio, charging and battery. Any difference from your answers comes back in writing with a revised figure. Say no to a revised price and your device is returned free of charge.

How should I pack it?

Take off the case and SIM, wrap the phone in padding and use a small, firm box. Never ship a phone with a swollen battery.

Can a company sell many at once?

Yes. A bulk offer prices every model together once each phone is out of your MDM.

iPhone selling questions

What is my iPhone worth?

Model, storage, carrier lock, condition, battery health and function decide it. The price check on this page gives the figure for your exact phone. Each iPhone estimate draws on this month's resale data for that configuration, and your condition answers refine it before anything is shipped. We price configuration and condition, not averages, which is why two iPhone units from the same year can land far apart.

Which iPhones can I sell?

iPhone 11 through the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, including Pro, Pro Max, Plus, mini, Air, 16e and 17e, plus the iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation. The quickest check is the About screen, under Settings on iPad and iPhone or the Apple menu on a Mac, which names the model, year and chip.

Will you buy a carrier-locked iPhone?

Yes, if it is fully paid off with a clean IMEI. Locked phones are priced a little below unlocked ones. Activation Lock is tied to the Apple Account still signed in on the iPhone; signing out removes it and frees the device for its next owner. Locked out of your own account? Recover it at iforgot.apple.com before you ship, because an iPhone still linked to any account can't be bought or resold.

Can I sell an iPhone I am still paying off?

Not yet, because a phone with a balance can be blocked later. Clear the balance, then price it. Selling an iPhone here takes three moves: price it online, mail it on our prepaid label, and receive payment once it passes testing. You pay no listing fees, meet no strangers and haggle with nobody, and the figure you see reflects your exact configuration and condition.

Do you buy blacklisted iPhones?

No. A phone reported lost, stolen or for non-payment cannot be used on U.S. networks or resold. We screen the IMEI for lost or stolen reports and unpaid carrier balances before any label goes out, which protects both you and whoever buys it next. Unlocked and Wi-Fi + Cellular units resell for a little more since they work on any network, while carrier-locked devices that are fully paid off still qualify.

Do you buy iPhones that will not turn on?

No. A phone that does not power on, or whose touchscreen no longer works, is not something we can buy. Selling an iPhone here takes three moves: price it online, mail it on our prepaid label, and receive payment once it passes testing. You pay no listing fees, meet no strangers and haggle with nobody, and the figure you see reflects your exact configuration and condition.

Will you take an iPhone with cracked glass?

Yes, if picture and touch still work. Cracked front or back glass lowers the price. Cosmetic wear reduces the iPhone price but never disqualifies a working unit, and the quote asks about it so the number holds at testing. Should our test bench see something your answers didn't mention, you receive the reason and a revised figure, and you're free to say no and get the device back.

Why do you ask for the IMEI?

Every IMEI is screened for blacklist and finance status before the label goes out, so nothing surprises you later. We screen the IMEI for lost or stolen reports and unpaid carrier balances before any label goes out, which protects both you and whoever buys it next. Unlocked and Wi-Fi + Cellular units resell for a little more since they work on any network, while carrier-locked devices that are fully paid off still qualify.

How will I be paid?

Pick PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept. The money is sent within 2 business days after your device passes inspection. You choose the payout method while accepting the offer: PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH). Money is released within 2 business days after your device passes inspection, and an email marks each stage (delivered, tested, paid) so you can follow your Apple device without asking.

Which model is it exactly?

Match your model number to its specs so the offer is right the first time.
