Selling your iPhone: sell iPhone questions
How do I sell my iPhone for cash?
Get a free quote on this site by choosing the model, storage, carrier and condition. Accept the offer, add photos, print the free prepaid label and ship the iPhone. We test it and pay you by PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH). Prices track current resale demand for each configuration, and your condition answers fine-tune the iPhone figure before you ship.
How much will I get when I sell my iPhone?
The model and storage set the ceiling; condition, battery health, working parts and IMEI status decide the final figure. The quote shows your exact offer in about a minute. Your iPhone offer starts from what that exact model and storage sells for on the refurbished market this week, then subtracts only the repairs testing would need.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Getting a quote costs nothing and creates no obligation. You only commit when you accept and ship. You see the Apple device offer before giving any personal details, and shipping is always free. The whole Apple device sale happens online and by mail, with no fees and no meetups.
How long is my iPhone offer valid?
Offers stay valid for 14 days from acceptance, which leaves time to back up, erase and ship. Prices track current resale demand for each configuration, and your condition answers fine-tune the iPhone figure before you ship. Two iPhone units from the same year can be worth very different amounts, because storage and condition move the price more than age.
Can I sell more than one iPhone at a time?
Yes. Add every device to the same quote, upload photos once and ship them in one box. Five or more? Use the bulk form for one combined offer.

iPhone conditions: sell iPhone questions
Can I sell a broken iPhone?
Yes, if it powers on. Faulty Face ID, cameras, speakers or ports are priced as deductions. A phone that will not switch on goes to a manual review by email. Wear and cracked glass adjust the iPhone price; they do not end the sale. If testing differs from your answers, you choose between a revised offer and a free return of the iPhone.
Can I sell an iPhone with a cracked screen?
Yes. Cracked front or back glass lowers the offer, but the iPhone still sells if the picture is clear and touch works. Wear and cracked glass adjust the iPhone price; they do not end the sale. If testing differs from your answers, you choose between a revised offer and a free return of the iPhone.
Can I sell an iCloud-locked iPhone?
Not until the owner removes it from their Apple Account. Activation Lock stops the phone from being reset for its next owner. Activation Lock follows the Apple Account signed in on the iPhone. Sign out in Settings and the lock lifts, so the next owner can set it up. Forgot the password? Reset it at iforgot.apple.com first. Any iPhone still linked to an Apple Account cannot be reset, so it cannot be bought.
Can I sell a blacklisted iPhone?
Yes, if the block is only for an unpaid carrier balance and you are the account holder. It is priced lower. Phones reported lost or stolen are refused. Before the label is sent, the IMEI is checked for lost or stolen reports and unpaid balances, so there are no surprises after shipping.
Do you buy old iPhones?
Every iPhone from the 11 and second-generation SE is in the instant quote. Older models can be emailed for a manual review. You see the iPhone offer before giving any personal details, and shipping is always free. The whole iPhone sale happens online and by mail, with no fees and no meetups.
