Why sell your iPhone XS?
The iPhone XS introduced Apple’s premium OLED display in a compact size. It still performs well, but could be worth more than you think! Selling or recycling it turns idle tech into money and reduces electronic waste.
Reasons to sell:
You get instant value for your phone, tablet or wearable.
You can put the payout toward an upgrade or use it however you like.
Selling keeps usable tech in circulation and lowers electronic waste.
It makes upgrading cheap and straightforward.
Your iPhone XS shouldn’t sit in a drawer. It should give you something back.
What we accept
We accept more than your iPhone XS. You can trade in:
Smartphones
Tablets
Smartwatches
Selected accessories
We buy iPads, Apple Watch and devices across major tech brands.

How we value your iPhone XS
Valuation factors
Factor | Impact on value |
Model & storage | Higher storage (64GB, 256GB, 512GB) improves resale value. |
Condition | Cracks, scratches, dents and functional issues reduce the valuation. The stainless steel frame can show wear easily. |
Battery health | Low battery health is accepted. Below ~85% may reduce the offer. |
Market demand | The XS has remained popular thanks to its OLED display and compact size. |
Typical value bands
Category | What to expect |
iPhone XS (Excellent) | Highest payout with minimal wear |
iPhone XS (Good) | Strong value with light cosmetic wear |
iPhone XS (Faulty) | Reduced payout, but still worth selling |
