Quick Questions!
How do you determine what my iPhone is worth, and is that estimate final?
Your phone’s value is calculated based on its condition (like scratches or dents), whether it needs any fix, its storage size and color, and how popular that model is right now. While we provide an initial estimate, the final offer is confirmed after a thorough in-person inspection.
What should I do to my phone before bringing it in?
It’s essential to back up all your personal data first. Then, you’ll need to sign out of your Apple ID and iCloud, turn off ‘Find My iPhone,’ and perform a factory reset. Make sure to remove your SIM card and unpair any connected devices like an Apple Watch.
How will I get paid, or how will the trade-in credit be applied?
For a direct sale, payment methods can vary, but cash is often preferred for immediate transactions. For trade-ins, the value is typically applied as an instant credit towards a new purchase, or sometimes as a gift card or bill credit. The exact method and timing will be confirmed at the point of transaction.
What if the final offer isn't what I was initially quoted?
If the detailed inspection reveals a different condition than initially described, the offer might be adjusted. We’ll inform you of the revised amount, and you’ll have the option to accept the new offer or, in most cases, decline it and take your phone back.
Can I still sell or trade in my iPhone if it's tied to a particular phone company?
Yes, you can. However, unlocked phones generally fetch a higher value, so if possible, we recommend contacting your carrier to unlock it beforehand to potentially increase your trade-in or sale price.
How do you ensure my personal information is removed from the phone?
Even if you’ve done a factory reset, we perform an additional professional data wipe to ensure all your personal information is securely and irreversibly erased before the device is processed for resale or recycling. Your privacy is a top priority.
I've heard trade-in values are changing. How does that impact what I'll get for my phone?
Trade-in values can fluctuate due to market demand, new iPhone releases, and even promotional offers. Prices often see adjustments around new model announcements. We constantly review our pricing to stay competitive, but the final offer will always reflect the current market value and your device’s specific condition on the day of assessment. It’s often beneficial to trade in before new models are widely available.
My iPhone has custom engravings or modifications; will this impact its trade-in value?
If the engraving was done by Apple, it generally won’t affect the value. However, third-party engravings or significant cosmetic modifications might reduce the trade-in value, as it can limit the device’s appeal or make it harder to refurbish for future sale.
Can I change my mind and get my old phone back if I've already sent it in for trade-in?
Once your device has been shipped and received for trade-in, it typically cannot be cancelled. However, if our final assessment results in a lower revised value than initially quoted, you’ll usually have the option to reject that new offer, and in that case, your device would be returned to you.
How can I keep tabs on where my trade-in is in the process once I've sent it off?
If you initiated an online trade-in, you’ll usually receive a tracking link or status page access. This allows you to monitor its journey, from shipping confirmation to its arrival at the processing center and the final assessment completion, helping you anticipate when your credit will be applied.
