This guide covers what determines an iPhone offer, how to turn off Find My and sign out of iCloud, how cash compares with trade-ins and online sales, and what to do with a cracked, dying, or older phone. It also has a section for each nearby area we serve.

What determines your iPhone offer

We do not publish prices, because every phone is different. Offers depend on the exact model and condition, and the only way to know yours is a free quote. These are the factors that move the number most.

• Model and generation: Newer and higher-tier models, such as Pro and Pro Max versions, generally draw stronger offers than older or base models. If you own a recent flagship, see our pages for the iPhone 16 Pro Max for a closer look.
• Storage capacity: A higher-storage version of the same model is usually worth more than the base version. Check Settings, then General, then About, to see the exact figure.
• Physical condition: Scratches, dents, bent frames, and cracked glass on the front or back all affect value. A clean phone with no visible wear sits at the top of its range.
• Screen and function: We check that the display responds to touch, the cameras work, Face ID or Touch ID works, the speakers and microphone are clear, and the buttons click properly.
• Battery health: Go to Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health & Charging, to see your maximum capacity. A heavily worn battery lowers the offer, but it does not make the phone worthless.
• Carrier lock status: A phone that is unlocked or fully paid off is easier to resell than one still locked to a carrier, and that shows up in the offer. If you still owe a balance, contact your carrier before you come in.
• iCloud and Find My status: A phone still tied to your Apple Account is a problem for any buyer. Sign out before you visit, using the steps below.

Bring the original box or accessories if you still have them, but they are not required. The phone itself is what we are quoting.

How to turn off Find My and sign out of iCloud before you sell

Do this at home, ideally before you leave the house. It takes a few minutes and keeps the sale smooth. We also wipe data for free in store, but your Apple Account has to be removed from the phone first.

1. Back up your data. Use iCloud Backup or a computer, and confirm it finished. Once you erase the phone, you cannot get the contents back.
2. Move your eSIM or SIM if needed. If you are keeping your number, make sure it is active on your new phone before you erase the old one.
3. Unpair your Apple Watch. If a watch is paired to this iPhone, open the Watch app, tap All Watches, and unpair it. This also turns off Activation Lock on the watch.
4. Turn off Find My iPhone. Open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Find My, tap Find My iPhone, and switch it off. Enter your Apple Account password when asked.
5. Sign out of your Apple Account. Go back to Settings, tap your name, scroll to the bottom, and tap Sign Out. Enter your password again and confirm.
6. Erase the phone. Go to Settings, then General, then Transfer or Reset iPhone, then Erase All Content and Settings. The phone restarts to the Hello screen.
7. Remove the device from your account. On another device, open your Apple Account settings, find the old iPhone in your device list, and remove it if it still appears.

If you forgot your Apple Account password or cannot reach the email tied to it, reset the password through Apple before selling. A phone that is still locked to an account you cannot access is very hard for any buyer to take, so sort it out before your visit. If you are stuck partway through, bring the phone with you. Our team can tell you what state it is in and what to do next.

Cash buyback vs. trade-in vs. selling online

People who search for where to sell an iPhone for cash are usually choosing between three routes. Each one trades speed, money, and hassle differently.

Why cash beats trade-in credit

Trade-in credit only works if you are buying something from that same company, and it can come with conditions attached. Cash is flexible. You can put it toward a new phone from anywhere, pay a bill, or just keep it. If you are not upgrading right away, a credit does little for you.

The risks of selling to a stranger

Selling privately can work, but it takes effort and carries real risk. Common problems include buyers who haggle after you arrive, payment apps that reverse a transaction, counterfeit cashier's checks, and fake payment confirmation screenshots. You also have to share your location or meet someone you do not know.

If you do sell online, meet in a busy, well-lit public place during the day, bring a friend, and never ship the phone before funds have fully cleared. Do not let anyone talk you into a code or a link you do not recognize.

Our reviewers often mention the same things: a fair and transparent assessment, fast and polite service, and no reselling hassle. Sell Your Gadgets holds a 4.8 Google rating from 495 reviews. Compared with a pawn shop, we are an electronics buyback specialist, so phones, tablets, and gaming gear are what we evaluate all day.

Cracked screens, dead batteries, and older iPhones still have value

Many people assume a broken iPhone is only good for the drawer. That is often wrong. We buy new, used, and broken devices, so a damaged phone is still worth a free quote.

• Cracked screen or back glass: Damage lowers the offer, but the phone may still have value depending on the model and whether the rest of it works. Do not spend money on a repair just to sell. A repair often costs more than it adds to the offer.
• Dead or swollen battery: A phone that will not hold a charge or does not power on can still be quoted. Tell us what is happening when you ask for the quote. If the battery looks swollen or the case is bulging, stop charging it and handle it carefully.
• Older models: Phones from a few generations back still get offers, although they are lower than current models. If you have an old iPhone in a drawer, it is worth checking.
• Water damage or a failing camera or button: These issues lower the offer, and we are upfront about how much and why.

The more detail you give us up front, the closer the quote will be to what you get in store. Photos help too. The final offer comes after a quick in-person inspection, so nothing is locked in until we see the phone.
