At the moment trade-in prices vary between £130 and £889, across 99 live offers from our recycler network.
The trade-in value of your iPhone 17 Pro depends on a few important factors: its condition, how much storage it has, and whether it's been well looked after. A pristine iPhone 17 Pro with higher storage (like 512GB or 1TB) will bring in the highest payout. On the other hand, if your iPhone has screen damage or hardware issues, you might get a lower price. To find the best price for your iPhone 17 Pro, simply use our comparison tool.

If you want to get the most money for your iPhone 17 Pro, timing your sale is key. Prices tend to be higher before the next iPhone launch, which Apple usually announces in September. Once new models go on sale, older iPhones often drop in value overnight. But if you missed this window, do not worry - the best time to trade in your iPhone 17 Pro is as soon as you’ve upgraded or know you're switching. The longer you wait, the more it depreciates. If you sell today, the price you get will be higher, guaranteed, than the price 6 months down the line.
Before you send your iPhone 17 Pro to a recycler, follow these steps to ensure a safe and smooth transaction:
Back up your data to iCloud or a computer.
Sign out of iCloud and Apple ID. This removes the activation lock and protects your data.
Erase all content and settings. This wipes your personal information.
Take out your SIM card as you’ll need it for your next phone.
Clean your device: Gently wipe down your iPhone and remove any accessories or cases.
We have a handy guide to help you prepair your iPhone for sale properly, so you avoid any headaches and help ensure a fast payment from the recycler.
Absolutely. Even if your iPhone 17 Pro isn’t working perfectly, it still has resale value. Many recyclers accept broken or damaged iPhone 17 Pro, including those with:
Cracked or smashed screens
Battery problems or charging faults
Issues with Face ID, buttons, or speakers
Display damage like dead pixels or ghosting
Software or system errors
Just make sure to select the ‘Broken’ condition when comparing offers. While the payout won’t be as high as for an undamaged phone, it’s still worth selling a broken phone rather than letting it collect dust, or worse - end up in the household bin.
