Yes, most old iPhones are worth something: every model from the iPhone 11 and the second-generation SE gets an instant quote, and older phones can be emailed for a manual offer. At this age, battery health, screen condition and carrier status decide most of the value.
Which older iPhones still sell?
| Models | How to sell |
|---|---|
| iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max | Instant quote |
| iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation) | Instant quote |
| iPhone XS, XR, X and older | Email for a manual offer |
What matters most on an old iPhone?
- Battery: buyers of budget phones care about daily battery life.
- Screen: a cracked screen costs a larger share of an older phone's value.
- Carrier status: unlocked phones sell faster.
Is it worth selling instead of recycling?
If it powers on, almost always. A working phone is worth far more resold than scrapped, and reuse is better for the environment. Recycle only phones with no remaining value.
How do I prepare an old iPhone?
The same steps apply as for any model: back up, sign out, erase. See the preparation checklist. If it no longer receives iOS updates, erasing still works.
