What to know before you sell a locked iPhone Air
- The iPhone Air supports Activation Lock: turn off Find My and sign out (or remove it at icloud.com/find) before selling.
- Carrier-locked iPhone Air units are bought: pick the carrier in the quote. The IMEI must be free of lost or stolen reports.
- Locks are only cleared by the owner; we never buy a locked device from anyone else.
Can I sell a locked iPhone Air?
It depends on the lock. Carrier-locked devices are bought. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM locks must be cleared first, because an iPhone Air still tied to an account or an organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never unlock devices for anyone except the owner.
