iPhone 17 trade-in offers on Compare and Recycle currently range from £80 to £665, across 71 live offers from the recyclers we compare.
The amount you can get for your iPhone 17 will vary depending on the condition and storage size of your iPhone 17. iPhones in excellent shape with higher storage capacities typically fetch the highest prices. To find out how much your iPhone 17 is worth, take a moment to inspect its physical and functional condition, and confirm how much storage your iPhone has. Then, use our comparison and condition filters to see live offers from trusted tech recyclers.
All you need to do to sell your iPhone 17 is tell us the condition it is in: "New", "Good", "Poor" or "Broken", select its storage capacity, and you'll instantly see what it's worth and which recycler is offering the highest price for it.
Once you've compared recyclers, payment periods and prices, pick the best offer for you and simply proceed to fill out your order form by providing your details. On the form you will be able to choose how you'd like to post your iPhone 17 to the recycler. Prefer using your own packaging? Go for it. Want a freepost pack sent to you? That's an option too. Our recyclers provide pre-paid postage labels, so you don’t need to worry about postage fees. Getting paid is just that simple and a typical turnaround takes 5 working days, depending how quickly you send off your iPhone 17 for trade-in.
Selling to the first recycler you find is rarely a smart move - prices for the exact same iPhone 17 can vary by £30–£100 between recyclers on any given day, which is exactly why comparing pays off. That's the whole idea behind Compare and Recycle: search once and see offers from 20+ vetted UK recyclers side by side, rather than checking each one yourself. Compared with a typical network or manufacturer trade-in, Compare and Recycle users could walk away with up to £156 (or 32%) more on average.

To maximise the value of your iPhone 17, timing your sale can make a big difference. The best time to sell is typically just before or shortly after you upgrade when your phone still holds strong resale value. So when you're planning an upgrade, make selling your old phone part of the process. Bottom line: the earlier you sell your iPhone 17, the better your payout is likely to be.
💡 Insider tip: Prices for older iPhones usually dip around the launch of a new model, so avoid waiting until then. Instead, aim to sell in the months leading up to Apple’s typical release window, or just after the holiday season when demand for used phones is still high.
Yes. Before you sell your iPhone, back up your data, sign out of iCloud and your Apple ID, and use Erase All Content and Settings to wipe it. Once it arrives with the recycler, each device is wiped using industry-standard ADISA-certified data erasure software such as PhoneCheck and M360 - so even if you forget a step yourself, your personal data is professionally and permanently removed.
Absolutely! A cracked screen, unresponsive buttons, or charging issues don't mean your iPhone 17 is worthless. On Compare and Recycle you can filter prices from recyclers who specifically buy damaged iPhone 17, including those with:
Cracked front or rear glass
Malfunctioning buttons or cameras
Battery or charging issues
Software or display discolouration problems
Selling a broken iPhone not only gets you some money back, but it also ensures the device is reused or recycled correctly instead of ending up in landfill or being inappropriately stored at home.
