How selling your iPhone to us actually works
We're a real shop, not a faceless mail-in service. Here are the genuine routes available — no pretend nationwide free-post promise.
1. Request an estimated quote
Send your model, storage and condition via the website, WhatsApp, phone or email. We reply with an estimated figure where possible.
2. Visit the St Helens counter
Bring the iPhone to 41 Church Street for an in-person valuation. We test in front of you and explain the offer.
3. Or arrange delivery to the store
Distance isn't a problem. Contact the team first and we'll talk through how to send it safely — never post without speaking to us.
4. Final value confirmed after testing
Battery health, Face ID, camera modules, storage and lock status are all checked. The estimate becomes a firm offer once we've inspected the device.
What an iPhone valuation actually looks at
Most offers move on a small set of factors. Knowing them in advance means no surprises at the counter.
Model and storage
Higher storage tiers consistently fetch more. A 1TB Pro Max sits in a different price bracket from a 128GB base model.
Battery health
Anything under ~85% maximum capacity affects the offer. A pending 'Important Battery Message' or replaced battery is checked too.
Battery health guideScreen and back glass
Hairline scratches are normal. Cracks, deep scuffs, true-tone failure or burn-in shift the device down a grade.
Condition grading explainedFace ID and camera testing
Each rear lens, the front camera, Face ID, microphones and speakers are tested. Camera misalignment from drops is common on older Pros.
Genuine vs replacement parts
Settings → General → About flags 'Unknown Part' for non-Apple screens, batteries or cameras. These devices still have value but at a lower tier.
Network lock vs Activation Lock
Network-locked iPhones can still be bought. Activation-locked devices (Find My / iCloud still signed in) cannot — see the locks guide.
Phone locks explainedFind My and Apple Account removal
Sign out of iCloud and remove the device from your Apple ID before bringing it in, or we'll need to do it together at the counter.
How to remove Find MyIMEI and lost/stolen checks
Every iPhone is IMEI-checked against the UK CheckMEND blacklist. Devices flagged as lost or stolen cannot be purchased.
New, used, damaged or unwanted-upgrade iPhones
New, sealed or boxed iPhones
Sealed handsets from a contract upgrade or unwanted gift attract our strongest offers.
Sell a New or Sealed iPhoneUsed iPhones in everyday condition
Light wear is normal. We grade fairly and explain how each cosmetic factor affected the offer.
Condition grading explainedDamaged or faulty iPhones
Cracked screens, broken back glass, dead batteries, water damage — many faulty iPhones still hold value for parts and refurb.
Sell a broken iPhoneUnwanted upgrade iPhones
Carrier upgrade arrived but you've decided to stick with your current phone? Sealed upgrade handsets sell quickly.
Sell an unwanted upgradeBefore you sell your iPhone
A few minutes of prep speeds up the counter visit and keeps your data safe.
Why customers prefer an in-person iPhone assessment
Online quotes from large mail-in services frequently get revised downwards once the device arrives — and by then your iPhone is in their warehouse. With us, the device never leaves your sight until you've agreed the price.
Got a genuine, current, like-for-like quote from another local buyer? Bring it in — we'll do our best to beat it where commercially possible.
