Apple’s new iPhone 16 is likely to be a hot item — and our iPhone trade-in program makes it quick and easy way to get yours for even less.

Sell your old iPhone (and other Apple devices) to Cult of Mac today and we’ll send you cash to put toward your upgrade.

Our Apple trade-in program buys old iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods and more

You may have already considered selling your old iPhone on eBay or Craigslist. But it’s time-consuming and expensive and there’s always a risk of being scammed. That’s why you should sell it to us instead.

Cult of Mac will buy your old iPhone and pay you real cash. The process is simple, and we often pay more than other buyback services, including Apple, Amazon, and Gazelle.

We also buy devices that Apple won’t take — AirPods, Magic Keyboards and Apple Pencils, and more. In most cases, we pay more than other services that do take these items.

We even buy back handsets in need of repair.

Sell your old iPhone to Cult of Mac

We’ve teamed up with the awesome folks at MyPhones Unlimited to ensure Cult of Mac readers get the money they deserve when doing an iPhone trade in. And it takes just a few simple steps:

  1. Visit our iPhone trade-in page and get a quote for your old iPhone.
  2. We’ll send you a box and return label so that you can ship your old device to us free of charge.
  3. Once we’ve received your handset, we’ll issue an eCheck that you’ll receive in around one week.

We won’t fob you off with store credit or keep you waiting. We cough up real cash — and fast.

What’s more, we buy other Apple devices — including Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac — including those in need of repair. And we promise that nothing goes to landfill. Every handset we receive is either resold, refurbished, or recycled.

Get a iPhone trade-in quote today!

Get an iPhone trade-in quote today through our buyback site to find out how much your old iPhone is really worth. You’ll soon find that upgrading to a 2024 iPhone is even more affordable than you first thought.

And if you do decide to sell, any quote made in September is good through October (trade-in values tend to plummet during upgrade season). That gives you plenty of time to set up your new iPhone before you have to send your old one to us. So, what are you waiting for?
