Is my old iPhone worth anything?
Yes. All old iPhones are worth something, from old school models right through to the very latest Apple bestsellers.
That’s because recyclers love to be able to get hold of internal components so they can fix other iPhones, but also due to the fact that there is a huge market for second hand, refurbished iPhones.
Put simply, people love iPhones and are happy to buy older models.

What is iPhone recycling?
iPhone recycling is the process of having your old device either refurbished so it can be used again by someone else or taken apart and disposed of safely.
iPhones are made of many different materials, some of which are toxic, so recycling companies employ experts to get rid of any dangerous parts while melting down metals for use in other devices or products.
Working components may be used in other iPhones, helping them to enjoy a new lease of life. These refurbished iPhones may be sold here or in developing countries.
Why should I recycle my iPhone?
Recycling your iPhone is a no brainer. First of all, it can earn you a decent amount of money, which you can either stick into your bank account or put towards a brand new iPhone.
It’s also great for the environment. Throwing your old iPhone away or putting it in your recycling bin means it won’t be disposed of properly.
By sending it to a recycling company, you can be sure that it will find a new home after being refurbished or taken apart safely, with all parts either reused, recycled or thrown away in the correct manner.
Can I throw my iPhone away?
It’s not a good idea. We believe you should never throw away your old iPhone. iPhones have some internal parts that are made using toxic materials which can cause harm to the environment if sent to landfill. That’s why you should always send your iPhone to a recycler.

How much is my iPhone worth?
The value of your iPhone depends on a few key factors: which model of iPhone you have.
These include how much internal storage it has, what condition it's in, and whether it's locked to a network or not.
If you have a more recent model, then you’re likely to get a better price.
Find out how much yours is worth by finding it on this page. You can either look for the right one from the pictures, or type its name into the search bar.
Then just pick the storage size, condition, and network, and you'll see quotes that are accurate for your mobile.

Can I sell a broken Apple iPhone?
Yes. Many tech recyclers buy broken iPhones. Just find your iPhone on our site and select the 'broken' condition on the comparison grid, and we'll show you all the current offers from recyclers on a broken or damaged Apple iPhone.
If it’s broken or damaged, you’re likely to get less cash than you would for a working device.
But you could still get something. And even if you only get a small amount, sending your old gadget to a recycler is far better for the environment than simply throwing it in the bin.
Can I sell a water damaged iPhone?
Selling a water damaged iPhone can be tricky. Some recyclers may take them, but if your iPhone has water damage you’ll need to check directly to see if you can sell it.
Remember that you’ll only get a nominal fee as water damaged iPhones are usually not recyclable and will need to be disposed of.
Who pays the most for iPhones?
At SellMyMobile we have loads of great recycling partners. Some offer better prices for certain phones than others – but bear in mind costs are dynamic and can change day to day. Today’s best offer may come from a different recycler than yesterday’s.
It’s always worth comparing on a phone by phone basis, especially for much older iPhones such as the iPhone 8. Some major recyclers may only deal in the newer models.
What will happen to my iPhone?
It all depends on what condition your iPhone is in and which recycler you choose to sell it to.
If it’s a newer iPhone and not damaged, then it will be wiped, before being tested for any issues, fixed, refurbished and sold to a new owner.
Some will stay right here in the UK. Others will be sold overseas. Older models are likely to be sold in developing countries.
If your iPhone can't be sold on, however, it'll be completely dismantled and stripped of its parts.
Some of those bits will go into other refurbished phones, and recyclable elements - such as nickel, gold, and platinum - can be melted down and reused for other purposes.
