Why sell your iPhone XR?
The iPhone XR was one of Apple’s most popular models thanks to its long battery life, bright 6.1-inch display, A12 Bionic performance and colourful aluminium design. It still works well today, but once unused, the value starts to fall. Selling or recycling it turns idle tech into money and cuts waste.
Reasons to sell:
You get instant value for your phone, tablet or wearable.
You can put the payout toward something new or spend it however you like.
Selling keeps usable tech in circulation and reduces e-waste.
It makes upgrading simple and affordable.
Your iPhone XR shouldn’t be gathering dust. It should give you something back.
What we accept
We accept far more than your iPhone XR. You can trade in:
Smartphones
Tablets
Smartwatches
Selected accessories
We also buy iPads, Apple Watches and devices from other leading brands.

How we value your iPhone XR
Valuation factors
Factor | Impact on value |
Model & storage capacity | Storage capacity (64GB, 128GB, 256GB) is a key factor—larger capacities typically command higher valuations and are considered when assessing the device's value. |
Condition | Cracks, scratches, dents or faults reduce the price. Aluminium frames can show marks over time. |
Battery health | Low battery health is accepted but may reduce your valuation. |
Market demand | XR models remain popular as reliable, affordable iPhones. |
Typical value bands
Category | What to expect |
iPhone XR (Excellent) | Highest payout with minimal wear |
iPhone XR (Good) | Strong value with light cosmetic wear, still a great price |
iPhone XR (Faulty) | Reduced payout, but still often worth selling |
Apple iPhone trade-in options
You can choose:
Store credit for your next upgrade
We accept a wide range of iPhone models for trade-in — from the newest releases to older devices like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8. The process is quick, simple and fully tracked.
What if my iPhone XR is broken?
We accept damaged and faulty iPhone XR devices, including:
Cracked screens
Back glass damage
Face ID issues
Battery faults
Camera problems
Speaker or microphone issues
Frame dents or scratches
Even a broken iPhone XR can be sold, though it will usually receive a lower payout compared to a fully working device.
Select the correct faults when getting your quote. If your device has no resale value, you can still send it for secure data wiping and responsible recycling.
How to get the best price when you sell your iPhone XR
Check battery health and other important details in your device settings (e.g., Settings > Battery > Battery Health).
Remove the case and screen protector before assessing the condition.
Inspect the frame and screen under bright lighting for scratches or chips.
Choose the most accurate condition category to avoid revised offers.
Send the device quickly to keep your quote locked in.
Accessories and the original box are not required.
