Selling your iPhone 16e is fast, easy, and doesn’t require listing it online or dealing with awkward messages from potential buyers. All you need to do is tell us what condition your iPhone is in and how much storage it has, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Use our comparison tool to find the top trade-in prices in seconds. Once you’ve chosen an offer, complete a short form and select how you’d like to send your iPhone 16e. You can either use your own packaging or request a freepost pack from the recycler. Most recyclers pay via bank transfer, and some also offer PayPal, just pick whichever method suits you best.
To get the most money for your iPhone 16e, timing matters. Trade-in values usually drop around the launch of new iPhones, which happens each September. Selling before or shortly after an Apple event is usually the sweet spot for higher payouts.
Even if there’s no launch coming up, it’s still better to sell your iPhone 16e as soon as you’ve upgraded. The longer you hold onto it, the more it will drop in value.
When you recycle your iPhone 16e through Compare and Recycle, your iPhone goes to one of our trusted recyclers where it would undergo a technical inspection. If your iPhone 16e is in good condition, with minor cosmetic blemishes, it will be graded, data wiped, and the phone will be prepped for resale. If during the inspection any faults are determined, components will be refurbished or repaired to bring the iPhone up to resale standards.
If your iPhone 16e is beyond repair, it will be carefully dismantled and any usable parts will be salvaged for refurbishing other phones. Any leftover materials will be recycled. No matter the outcome, recycling your iPhone 16e helps reduce electronic waste and supports a more circular tech economy.
Definitely! A broken iPhone 16e can still be sold through Compare and Recycle, and you might be surprised at how much you can get for it.
