Questions people actually ask.
Price
How much is a broken iPhone worth in the UK?
More than most sites will tell you, and it comes down to how we grade phones. If the glass is cracked but the display underneath still works perfectly, we grade it as Picture fine, not waste, and that grade usually keeps most of what the same phone earns in full working order; the exact figure depends on the model. Put yours through the calculator and you get your exact figure in about a minute.
Can I sell an iPhone that won't turn on?
No. We cannot verify what is wrong with a device that will not power on, or erase it to standard, so any price we offered would be a guess. Your council's recycling centre and any Apple store both take them free of charge.
Can I sell an iPhone with a cracked screen?
Yes. Cracked screens are our speciality. As long as it powers on, we will buy it. The condition of the display is the main thing that moves the price.
What if the offer changes after inspection?
If your device does not match the condition you described, we send a revised offer with an explanation. You can accept it or have your device returned free of charge.
Posting
Is it safe to post my phone?
Yes. Every way of sending is free and tracked: a QR code at any Post Office, a Royal Mail pickup from your door, or a postage pack if you have nothing to post it in. Any box or padded envelope works; pack it well.
What if my phone goes missing in the post?
Genuinely rare, because every way of sending is tracked. If it does happen you still get your full offer: we claim from Royal Mail, not you.
Do I have to go to the Post Office?
No. Book a free Royal Mail pickup from tomorrow, at home or work, and the postie brings the label, so no printer is needed. Or show a QR code at any Post Office and they print the label for you.
Do I need the original box or charger?
No. Your price is the same whether or not the box, cable and charger are long gone.
Paying
How fast will I get paid?
We inspect within one working day of arrival, and pay by bank transfer within 48 hours of your phone arriving, counted Monday to Friday. If we send you a revised offer, the 48 hours start when you accept it.
Data
What happens to my data?
Every device is erased in line with recognised industry standards (NIST SP 800-88 and IEEE 2883), the erasure is verified, and the erasure software's own record of it is kept against your order. You can read it in your account.
Do I need to switch off Find My iPhone?
Yes. Find My (Activation Lock) must be switched off before we can buy your device. You can do it in Settings on the phone, or from iCloud.com after it is posted.
Problems
Can I sell a phone with a swollen battery?
Not by post. Devices with swollen or leaking batteries are not safe to send through the UK postal network.
Do you buy iPads too?
Not just yet. We currently buy iPhones, from the iPhone 11 up to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. iPads, Samsung and Apple Watch are on the way.
What happens to my device after you buy it?
Devices are refurbished and reused where possible. Those beyond repair are harvested for working parts, and the rest is responsibly recycled.
