Any storage size, any color, unlocked or carrier-locked. Cracked screens and worn batteries are fine — the offer just reflects the condition.
We pay up to $600 for the iPhone 16 series
That top figure is for the highest model and storage tier in excellent condition, unlocked and paid off. Where your phone lands depends on which model you have, how much storage, the state of the screen and body, and battery health.
Call or text with the model, storage size and an honest description of the condition, and you'll get the actual number for your phone rather than a range.
iPhone 16 models and storage sizes
Storage is one of the bigger levers on price, so it's worth checking before you call. You'll find it under Settings, General, then About. The series was released in September 2024 (the 16e followed in February 2025).
The 16 Pro Max is the only model in the series without a 128GB tier.
How condition changes the offer
Describing your iPhone 16 accurately on the call is what keeps the quoted price and the paid price the same. These are the four bands we work in.
Like new
No scratches worth mentioning, screen and back glass intact, battery health at 90% or above, everything working. This is where the top of the range applies.
Good
Light wear from normal use, no cracks, battery health 80% or above. A small deduction from the top figure.
Fair
Visible scratches, scuffs or a dent, screen still intact, battery health under 80%. A larger deduction, but still a solid cash offer.
Damaged
Cracked screen or back glass, water damage, or it won't power on at all. Still worth money for parts or repair, and still worth a call.
What we check when we meet
The inspection takes a couple of minutes. Nothing here is a surprise if you described the iPhone 16 accurately on the call.
Model and storage
Confirmed against what you described, from Settings, General, About.
Screen and body
A look at the glass, frame and camera lenses for cracks and dents.
Battery health
The percentage under Settings, Battery, Battery Health.
iCloud and Find My
Signed out and Find My switched off — a device still tied to your Apple ID can't be resold.
Activation status
A check that the device is not reported lost or stolen and has a clean activation lock status.
Cash now, or the other options
Selling your iPhone 16 for cash locally is not the only route. It is the fastest one, and the only one that hands you money the same day.
Carrier trade-in
The value comes back as bill credits spread across 24 to 36 months, and it usually depends on staying on that plan for the full term.
Apple trade-in
Paid as store credit or a gift card rather than cash, and only for devices in working condition.
Mail-in buyback sites
You ship the device, wait for their inspection, and the quoted figure can be revised downward before any money reaches you.
Marketplace listings
The ceiling can be higher, but you handle the strangers, the no-shows, the payment fraud and the returns yourself.
With us it's a number over the phone, a meet at your place or somewhere public, and cash in hand once the iPhone 16 matches the description. No shipping, no waiting, no credit.
