We’re around a month away from Apple’s next iPhone event, which means it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll do with your old iPhone.

Will you hand it down to another family member, leave it lying in a drawer to collect dust, or turn it into a fat stack of cash that will help you pay for the newest model? Obviously, selling it is the sensible option — and we can show you how to get the best price for your old iPhone!

You have a number of options when it comes to selling an iPhone.

You could list it on eBay, but you’ll have to deal with seller fees and scammers. You could put it on Craigslist, but then you have to meet a potentially shady buyer in person. You could sell it back to Apple, but you’ll make only a fraction of what it’s really worth.

To make good money quickly and easily, you’re better off selling your old devices to Cult of Mac.

Cult of Mac pays more than anyone else

We’ve teamed up with the folks at MyPhones Unlimited to ensure our readers get the money they deserve for unwanted iPhones (and other devices). We pay more than Apple, Amazon, GameStop, Gazelle and others — and we make the whole process easy.

Here’s how it works:

  1. You visit our buyback page and get a quote for your old phone.
  2. We send you a box and return label so you can ship your device to us for free.
  3. When your phone arrives with us, we’ll issue a check that you’ll receive in around a week.

We won’t fob you off with gift cards or store credit; Cult of Mac pays real cash for your devices — and fast! What’s more, we’ll even buy broken devices in need of repair, and we promise that nothing goes to landfill. Every handset we receive is either resold, refurbished or recycled.
