Every time Apple announces a new iPhone, people around the world begin to seriously consider changing their last device. With the release of the new iPhone 15, Plus, Pro and Pro Max, many of us will think it’s time to say goodbye to the old iPhone we’re using now and jump on the new iPhone train.
When to Sell An iPhone?
Every year, iPhone prices start to drop just before the launch of a new model and continue to slowly decline over the following months. In the UK, as in many other countries, interest in a Google search for “sell my old iPhone in the UK” spikes in the same week that a new model is released, causing trade-in prices to fall further.
Once trade-in prices drop, it’s almost impossible to raise them again. So, the general rule of thumb is to sell your old iPhone quickly and get a good price for it.
The Best Places to Sell Your iPhone
So, when it’s time to part with your favourite device, where should you turn? Let’s take a look at a few of the best options.
Sell to An Independent Reseller
As the fastest-growing cell phone reseller in the UK, Professionals Store is the best choice. Known for their commitment to quality and trusted reputation, they have been a large independent electronics repair shop that has been in business, making them one of the longest-standing cell phone resellers in the UK. By the time the first iPhone was released, the phone store had been in business for over a decade.

These globally recognised platforms offer the opportunity to do just that – control the selling process – as long as you also assume the risks involved.

What Should You Expect When Selling Your iPhone?
Ready to ship your device? Here’s a handy step-by-step guide.
Remove the SIM card
The SIM card is directly linked to your phone number. For security and convenience, you should remove it from your phone before handing it in. After you purchase a new phone, you can continue to use the same SIM card unless you change service providers.
Disconnect your Apple Watch
If you have an Apple Watch, you need to disconnect it from your old iPhone before synchronising it with your new iPhone. In the Watch app on your iPhone, open the “My Watch” tab and tap “All Watches”. Tap “Settings” on each paired device and tap “Disconnect Apple Watch”.
Log out of iCloud
When you have planned to “sell my iPhone in the UK”. This is an important step to let Apple know that you don’t want this iPhone to be associated with your account, allowing you to restore and resell the iPhone. Also, disable the activation lock. The activation lock prevents new users from logging into the iPhone after it has been restored.
Factory Reset
Although any reseller will reset your phone settings themselves, for peace of mind, it’s better to perform a factory reset yourself so that your personal data doesn’t fall into the hands of the new owner.
Deciding where to sell your iPhone depends on your priorities, including benefits, convenience, and reliability. Analyse the pros and cons of each method and choose the one that best suits your goals. Whatever you choose, rest assured that your old iPhone will find the new home and purpose it deserves.
