Quick answer
A used iPhone 16 Pro is worth $185 to $660 in November 2026. An unlocked, flawless 1 TB model gets the top price of $660. Most unlocked phones in Good condition sell for $455–$605, depending on storage. A carrier lock, cracked glass or an unpaid balance lowers the offer.

What changes your offer
Storage
More storage means a higher offer. The 1 TB model pays the most at every grade.
Condition grade
Condition makes the biggest difference. On a 256 GB unlocked phone, Flawless pays $560 and Cracked pays $230. Here's how we grade:
- Flawless: Looks new. No marks you can see from 8 inches away.
- Good: Light scratches smaller than a pencil eraser. No dents or chips.
- Fair: Visible scratches, scuffs or a small dent. Everything works.
- Cracked: Cracked screen, back glass or camera lens. Still turns on and works.
Battery health
Flawless needs 85% or higher. Good, Fair and Cracked need 80% or higher. Check it in Settings › Battery › Battery Health & Charging. If it's below that, you'll get a revised offer.
Carrier lock
Unlocked phones pay the most. An AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon lock takes $20–$55 off. Other carriers take $35–$100 off. For a 256 GB in Good condition: $505 unlocked, $465 on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon, $430 on other carriers.
Still paying it off
We still buy phones with a balance left on them, but the offer is lowered after inspection.

4 things to check before you sell
- It powers on. We test every phone, so it has to turn on. A cracked screen is fine; a dead phone isn't.
- Find My and Activation Lock are off. Settings › [your name] › Find My › Find My iPhone. A locked phone can't be bought.
- It isn't blacklisted. We check every IMEI. Phones reported lost or stolen are turned down at inspection.
- It's backed up and erased. Settings › General › Transfer or Reset iPhone › Erase All Content and Settings.
