About 1 minuteAbout the iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 (6.1-inch) and 16 Plus (6.7-inch) launched in fall 2024 with the A18 chip, an Action button and Camera Control.
The iPhone 16e followed in early 2025 with the same A18 chip, a single rear camera and Face ID, at a lower price. It earns less than the 16.

iPhone 16 trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
Model
The 16 Plus earns the most, then the 16, then the 16e.
Storage
256GB and 512GB add value over 128GB.
Carrier
Unlocked phones earn the most.
Glass
Cracked screen or back glass lowers the offer.
Battery
Normal health keeps the full offer.
Is my iPhone 16 eligible?
It needs to power on, have a working touchscreen, be signed out of its Apple Account with Find My off, have a clean IMEI with no carrier balance, and be legally yours.
Scratches, cracked glass, worn batteries and repaired parts can still qualify at a lower offer. Non-working, locked, blacklisted, financed, liquid-damaged or swollen-battery iPhones can't get an instant quote. Full eligibility rules.
Accessories that affect your offer
- Original box
Before you sell
- Check Battery Health in Settings > Battery.
- Unpair your Apple Watch, then sign out of your Apple Account.
- Remove your SIM card or eSIM, then erase all content and settings.
