Sell Your iPhone
Get up to £250 for your old model when you recycle your iPhone. Compare Prices
With new phones being released constantly even handsets such as the hugely popular iPhone eventually become outdated. The iPhone has retained its value much better than many phones of a similar age and so recycling companies will often pay you a good price when you decide it's time to sell your iPhone.

How much can you get for an original iPhone 4?
Is your old phone not an iPhone?
You can still get cash for your old mobile if you're upgrading to the new iPhone 4S even if your old handset isn't an iPhone. Just use the search box below to find your phone and get a price for it.
What to do with your old iPhone?
Throwing out an old mobile phone is not only a waste of a device which may still have a high cash value but it also damaging to the environment due to the number of potentially toxic components used in electronic devices.
Selling your old phone is an obvious option but selling privately or on eBay can often be more trouble than it's worth. Not only do you risk getting mixed up with a troublesome buyer, but it often takes a long time to make the sale and any wear and tear can significantly reduce the value of an old phone when selling to a private buyer.
Recycling companies will give you a much better price for your old iPhone, iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G S than most trade-in deals will offer and many recyclers will give you the choice of cash or vouchers too depending on what suits you best.
If you're tied into a contract with a mobile phone network and you're not yet eligible to upgrade to the iPhone 4 or your network isn't carrying the iPhone 4 then recycling your phone could be your only option if you want to upgrade.
Even if you have a few months of your contract left then the money you can get for your old model may enable you to buy out the rest of your contract so that you can get the iPhone 4 on a new contract. If you've only just started a new contract then recycling your old phone could at least give you a substantial chunk of the cost of buying out your contract or buying the iPhone 4 seperately.
It makes sense to sell your old iPhone to a mobile phone recycling company and not only help the environment but make yourself some money and save yourself some trouble at the same time. So do an iPhone recycling comparison and find the best price for your old iPhone.
What is different about the iPhone 4S?
While the iPhone 4S looks a lot like the older iPhone 4 underneath there are some major changes. The iPhone 4S has a much more powerful dual-core processor (the same A5 CPU found in the iPad 2) this means it's a lot faster than the iPhone 4 and games look even better.
The iPhone 4S has an 8MP camera, this means pictures will look significantly better than those taken by an iPhone 4 and videos can now be captured at 1080p rather than just 720p. Apple have also worked hard to make sure pictures are processed and saved much more quickly than on the iPhone 4 meaning you can take pictures one after the other with no waiting around.
Apple are also releasing the iPhone 4S with the iOS5 software installed which means you get all the latest features such as an Android style notifications area and the fantastic Siri voice recognition software. Siri lets you speak just as you would to a human and makes texting, setting alarms and many other tasks quick and easy to carry out using just your voice.
Is it worth upgrading to the iPhone 4?
The new iPhone 4 was launched June 24th 2010 on O2, Orange, T-Mobile, 3 (Three) UK, Vodafone and Tesco Mobile. It's the biggest step forward in mobile phones since Apple launched the original iPhone. Running the new iPhone OS 4 software the iPhone 4 not only has a new look but a huge number of new features to go with it.
Not only does the iPhone 4 feature a fantastic new design but it has a number of new features make it worth upgrading:
- High Resolution Screen
- One the the ways in which the iPhone 3G S lagged behind the competition was with a low resolution screen. It looked great when it launched but other phones have since featured screens of a much better quality. The iPhone 4 features the highest quality screen ever seen on a mobile phone with a resolution so high that the indivual pixels cannot be distinguished by the human eye.
- FaceTime
- For many years video chat on your phone has seemed like a thing of the future but FaceTime means that face-to-face video chat over Wi-Fi is now avaliable straight out of the box with iPhone 4 using either the new front facing camera or the upgraded 5 Mega Pixel back camera.
- HD Video Recording
- The iPhone 4 can record video at 720p resolution using the new 5-Megapixel Camera which features a built-in LED flash. The new iMovie app avaliable from the app store will allow you to even edit you own HD videos directly from your iPhone.
- Multitasking
- One of the main complaints about the iPhone is the lack of multitasking, but the new iPhone allows apps to multitask using a smarter approach to multitasking only avaliable on the iPhone.
- Other Improvements
- Not only has the iPhone 4 taken some huge steps forward but it also features a number of changes which keep Apple ahead of the rest of the mobile game.
- The new 3-axis gyro adds to the accelerometer found in older iPhones to make tilt sensing even more flexible and accurate
- The addition of an extra microphone means dual-mic noise suppression is used to improve call quality in comparison to previous models.
- The same A4 processor found in the iPad is now included in the iPhone 4 meaning that the new model is even more powerful allowing for faster and better looking apps
- Other steps have been made to keep up with the fast moving world of technology such as support for the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, meaning faster speeds and better quality connections
- A larger capacity battery means even when powering the faster processor and higher quality screen the iPhone 4 can still manage to offer better battery life than the older models
