iPhone 16 Trade In
The iPhone 16 is Apple’s all-rounder: a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A18 chip, and a dual camera setup that delivers brilliant shots. It’s sleek, reliable, and still in high demand. But phones lose value as new releases arrive. Selling your iPhone 16 now helps you secure the best possible return, and SmartCellular makes the process quick, secure, and stress-free.
Is It Worth Selling the iPhone 16 Now?
Yes. Market value is highest while the iPhone 16 is still a current model. Once new iPhones launch, resale prices drop quickly, even if your device is in excellent condition. Trading in now also prevents wear and tear from reducing your quote. Small scratches, weaker battery life, or camera faults can make a noticeable difference later. By selling today, you maximize your phone’s worth and put money back in your pocket right away.
Steps to Get Your iPhone 16 Ready
A smooth trade-in starts with a few quick checks. These steps protect your data and help ensure your device gets the best valuation.
- Back up your data – Save photos, apps, and contacts to iCloud or a computer.
- Sign out of Apple ID – Remove Activation Lock by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Sign Out and entering your Apple ID password.
- Erase content – Wipe the phone clean via Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
What Impacts the iPhone 16 Trade-In Price?
The trade-in value of your iPhone 16 depends on a few important factors. Storage size is one, since larger capacities like 512 GB usually bring higher offers compared to 128 GB models. Condition also matters; while light scratches may reduce the price a little, cracks in the OLED screen or issues with the 48MP Fusion camera affect the value the most. Network status plays a role too, as unlocked phones often sell for more than carrier-locked ones. Battery health is another factor, with worn or weak batteries lowering the quote. Even if damaged, SmartCellular still accepts your phone and provides an instant valuation.

“ Ordered a 'pristine' iPhone 11 as a gift and was pleasantly suprised that it came in an Apple box (not the original box). This looked as good as a new one, but at a far cheaper price combined with an extra £15 discount. ”
