How much is my iPhone 16e worth?
The 16e is Apple's value-tier handset, so offers are lower than the flagship models — but it is a popular second phone and a common family hand-me-down, which keeps demand reliable. Fully working, unlocked examples sell best.
- Storage tier (128GB, 256GB or 512GB)
- Screen condition and touch response
- Battery health percentage
- Network unlocked or carrier locked
Does iPhone 16e storage affect its value?
We buy the iPhone 16e in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB. On this model the capacity difference is modest; working status and network lock usually matter more.
Can I sell a damaged iPhone 16e?
Yes, we will still make an offer on a damaged 16e. Because the handset sits at a lower price point, a major screen fault takes a larger share of the value — but selling it is almost always better than keeping it unused.
Can I sell a network-locked iPhone 16e?
A network lock is not a problem — carrier-locked handsets are still bought, and UK networks unlock free of charge on request. An account lock is different: the device must be signed out of the previous owner's Apple Account, with Find My and Activation Lock removed through official methods. We never bypass security and we do not buy devices reported lost or stolen. Phone locks explained.
Where can I sell my iPhone 16e?
Post it to us from anywhere in the UK, or sell it in person at 41 Church Street, St Helens, WA10 1AX or 48 Lowther Street, Carlisle, CA3 8DP. Both counters are open Mon–Sat 9:30am–5:30pm · Sun 10:00am–4:00pm. Bring valid photo ID — it is required for every second-hand purchase.
Every valuation is confirmed after we have inspected and tested the handset. We never quote a final price sight unseen, and you are free to walk away at any point.
