About 1 minuteAbout the iPhone Air
Apple released the iPhone Air in fall 2025. It's Apple's thinnest iPhone, with an A19 Pro chip, a 6.5-inch display and a single 48MP rear camera.
The iPhone Air uses eSIM only. Remove your eSIM from the phone, or transfer it, before you erase and ship it.

These are the configurations the quote tool accepts for each model, so you can only choose options that exist.

Identify it
How to tell which iPhone Air you have
- Settings > General > About shows the Model Name, storage and IMEI.
- Tap Model Number in that screen to switch to the A-number (for example A2849).
- "Carrier Lock: No SIM restrictions" in Settings > General > About means it's unlocked.
iPhone Air trade-in value: what affects your offer?
Price follows current resale demand, then your answers adjust it.
Storage
512GB and 1TB earn more than 256GB.
Carrier
Unlocked phones earn the most.
Frame
Dents or bends on the thin frame lower the condition grade.
Glass
Cracked front or back glass is the biggest deduction.
Battery
Normal battery health keeps the full offer.
Is my iPhone Air 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.
How we grade your iPhone Air's condition
Choose the grade that matches the outside of your iPhone Air. Working problems are asked separately, so you're never marked down twice for the same thing.
No scratches or scuffs on the screen, back or frame.
Light scratches you only notice up close. No cracks or dents.
Visible scratches or scuffs, or small dents on the frame.
Deep scratches, heavy scuffs or dents. Still fully working.
Bent frame or heavy dents. Still powers on and works.
Won't power on, no usable picture, locked, liquid damaged. These can't get an instant quote.
