What condition does my iPhone need to be in to sell it?

We buy iPhones in various conditions – from brand new to cosmetically damaged or even non-functional. Naturally, devices in better condition with fewer issues will receive a higher offer.

Do I need to erase my data before bringing my iPhone in?

Yes, it's highly recommended to back up your data and perform a factory reset (erase all content and settings) before selling your iPhone. This protects your privacy and speeds up the selling process.

How long does the selling process take?

Our process is fast! After a quick, free diagnostic that usually takes a few minutes, we'll make you an offer. If you accept, you can typically walk out with cash in hand within minutes.

Can I sell an iPhone that is iCloud locked or still has an active carrier contract?

No, we cannot purchase iPhones that are iCloud locked. You must sign out of your Apple ID and erase the device. Devices with active contracts or reported lost/stolen also cannot be purchased.
