Which iPhones Do We Buy?
Pick your model or the issue closest to your situation. Each page covers what affects the offer for that specific iPhone.

Titanium flagship — high used demand and strong storage premium.

A17 Pro performance in a 6.1" titanium body. Steady resale demand.

iPhone 14 Pro
6.1" Pro with ProMotion and 48MP main camera.
iPhone 14
Long-supported standard model, easy to value in store.

What Affects Your iPhone Valuation?
The more information you can provide, the more accurate the quote can be. Final prices are confirmed after an in-store check.
Model and storage size
Bigger storage tiers (256GB, 512GB, 1TB) consistently attract higher offers than the entry-level option for the same model.
Battery health
Battery percentage in Settings > Battery > Battery Health is checked at the counter. Below 80% the offer reflects a battery replacement.
Screen and back glass
Cracks, dead pixels or OLED damage reduce the offer. Light wear from normal use is already built in.
Face ID and camera faults
Working Face ID and a fully functional rear camera array materially affect the price on Pro models.
Charging port issues
Lightning or USB-C ports that are loose, bent or unresponsive reduce the offer because the port may need replacing.
Network lock or activation lock
Network-locked iPhones are still buyable. iCloud / Activation Locked devices need to be signed out before they can be properly valued.
Box, cable and accessories
Original box, charger and accessories aren't required, but a complete bundle can attract a small uplift on newer models.
Current market demand
Live used-market demand for your model — including new iPhone launches and supply levels — feeds into our offer on the day.
Can I Sell a Broken iPhone?
Yes, we can still look at broken iPhones. Cracked screens, weak batteries, damaged backs, camera faults, charging issues and other problems may reduce the value, but the device may still be worth selling. The easiest way to know is to bring it in for a quick check.
