The Steps to Sell iPhone with Safety and Get Maximum Cash

As and when you are willing to sell off or trade with your used or broken iPhone you have two things to think about- the price you will get and the safety issues. In other words, your motto will be to sell your iPhone safely and get the best price out of it. And that entails not just handling the iPhone over and getting cash but something more. You need to be concerned about the privacy issue of the content of your phone – right from the images stored in the iCloud to the personal data added to the apps. So one of the most important steps for you is to wipe off all the data from your phone before you sell it. But before you do you need to take the back of all this data.

Nevertheless, on this page, let us discuss the steps you need to take before you sell iPhone in the UK.

Taking the backup

The first and foremost step is not to be emotional and lose your mind and your data. Hence you need to take a backup of everything before you wipe off everything from your phone.

‘Unfinding’ Your Phone

There is an app on the iPhone that is designed to block activation by any new or unauthorised owner. While it is a useful app that will thwart any unauthorised user from using your device, in case of trade it will not allow the new user to use the device. Hence, before you sell a used iPhone in the UK you need to ‘unfind’ the device by deactivating that app. Though this particular option is by default deactivated as soon as all data and the settings have been erased, there is no harm in deactivating the app as an extra step of precaution.

Signing Out of the Massages

The individuals who have parted ways with their iPhones for any another platform but had forgotten to log out of their messages have stopped receiving messages from the users of other iOS devices: That is because, any message delivered from one Phone to another get received by the old iPhone that they have sold off, instead of their new device. This happens more so to those who have switched over from an iOS device to an Android device. That is the reason, whether you are selling your iPhone just to get a more recent model of iPhone or because you want to switch over to an Android device, you need to sign out of all your messages. So do so before you sell a broken iPhone in the UK.

Unpairing the AirPods

Much in the same way, you need to unpair your AirPods before you sell your broken iPhone in the UK. Technically speaking, you can still hook up your AirPods to your new iPhone before unpairing it from the previous one that you have sold it. Still, what’s the harm in unpairing the AirPods from it before you get rid of the device?

Unpairing your Apple Watch

In case you have an Apple Watch, you need to unpair it as well from your old iPhone. Again, when you remove all the data and wipe off the settings the device will automatically unpair from your Apple watch, but doing so manually will give you peace of mind. So why don’t you try it out?
