What changes your number
- Carrier lock. An unlocked iPhone 16 (128GB) is worth $65 more than a carrier-locked one in top condition. How to check.
- Condition. One cracked panel is grade C: $265 instead of $335 for the 512GB. How we grade.
- Battery. At 79% health or below it is a flat $20 off, whatever the grade.
- Damage. A device that will not power on, or one with water damage, is usually still bought at parts value rather than turned away. Selling a phone that won't turn on.
- Apple Account. Sign out and turn off Find My before you sell; we cannot buy a device still locked to an account. Step by step.

Frequently asked questions
How much is an iPhone 16 worth?
As of Oct 14, 2026, our cash offer for an iPhone 16 goes up to $335 for a 512GB unlocked unit in top condition, and starts at $295 for the 128GB. Condition and carrier lock move the number; the quote gives your exact offer.
How much is a cracked iPhone 16 worth?
A cracked screen or a cracked back, one of the two, is grade C: $265 for the 512GB unlocked as of Oct 14, 2026. Both sides cracked, or screen damage like lines or dots even with no crack, is grade D ($185).
Do you buy a carrier-locked iPhone 16?
Yes. Choose carrier locked in the quote and the offer reflects it. In top condition a locked 128GB is $65 less than unlocked.
Can I sell an iPhone 16 I am still making payments on?
Yes. A device with payments left prices as carrier locked rather than unlocked, which for the 128GB is $65 less in top condition. Nothing else about the offer changes.
Does battery health change what an iPhone 16 is worth?
A battery at 79% maximum capacity or below is a flat $20 off at any grade, and it does not change the grade itself. So a 512GB unlocked iPhone 16 in top condition comes to $315. A battery under 80% still sells. You can check yours in Settings, Battery, Battery Health & Charging.
Do you buy an iPhone 16 that will not turn on, or one with water damage?
Usually yes, at parts value. Water damage is fine for parts pricing; what matters is whether it powers on at all. Say so in the quote and we will price it. The one case we pass on is a device too far gone to use for parts.
Can I sell an iPhone 16 that is still locked to an Apple Account?
Not while it is locked. We cannot buy a device that is still iCloud or Activation Locked. Sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My and we will quote it. Signing out before we meet does not change the offer.
How do I get paid for an iPhone 16?
Cash when we meet in person, or Zelle, Cash App or PayPal. Zelle and Cash App usually land the same day. There is no obligation until you accept.
Where can I sell an iPhone 16 near me?
We meet sellers across Los Angeles and Orange County, either at our secured facility in Long Beach or at a public spot near you. The Inland Empire and North San Diego County are covered by scheduled weekly meetups and pickups, and a custom meetup or delivery is available for a small fee. You can also ship it with a prepaid label we send.
