How to sell or trade in your iPhone
Selling your iPhone with Uswitch is designed to give you a clear, accurate valuation from the very start. Simply choose your exact iPhone model from our full list — whether it’s an older iPhone you no longer use or one of the latest Apple releases.
Make sure you select your storage size to ensure you get a price that reflects your device’s true value, as higher-capacity models often attract a better offer.
Next, choose your network. You can tell us whether your iPhone is Unlocked or tied to networks such as EE, O2, Vodafone or Three. This helps us provide you with a more accurate quote and enables buyers to understand how the device can be utilised. Finally, select your phone’s condition, from Excellent to Faulty, and we’ll calculate your price instantly. Our process is designed for clarity and transparency, so you always know the value of your iPhone before sending it.

How to prepare your iPhone before selling
Getting your iPhone ready before sending it ensures a smooth sale and protects your personal information. These essential steps help you prepare the device safely so it reaches us ready to assess.
- Back up your data
Before wiping your device, take time to back up everything you want to keep, including photos, messages, contacts and app data. The easiest way to do this is through iCloud or by connecting your iPhone to a computer using Finder or iTunes. Creating a full backup ensures you won’t lose important files and makes setting up your next phone quick and convenient. Read our guide for more detailed guidance, including step-by-step instructions, if needed.
- Remove your accounts
To avoid activation lock issues, you’ll need to sign out of your Apple ID and iCloud account. This step is vital for anyone looking to sell or trade in their iPhone online, as it confirms the device is no longer tied to your personal account and can be safely reused. The process only takes a moment, and Apple’s support pages offer simple instructions if you’re unsure.
- Perform a factory reset
A factory reset ensures your personal data is wiped from the device completely. This protects your privacy and prepares the phone for its next owner.
You can reset your device by going to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings. If you’d prefer guidance, you can also follow a short video tutorial by Apple to walk you through the process step-by-step.
- Package your iPhone safely & send it
Once your iPhone is ready, pack it securely in a sturdy box and ensure it’s cushioned to prevent damage during transit. Uswitch provides a free prepaid shipping label, so posting your device won’t cost you anything — and if you need a box, we can send one to you at no charge. After you’ve posted your handset, our recycling partner will inspect it, confirm your quote and issue fast payment.
FAQs

Can I sell a broken or cracked iPhone?
Yes. You can still sell your iPhone even if it has damage, faults or broken parts. Just choose the correct condition during your quote.

Payments are typically made within a few working days after we receive and check your device.
What happens after I send my iPhone?
Your phone is inspected to confirm it matches the model, storage and condition selected. Once approved, your payment is processed immediately.
When is the best time to sell my iPhone?
