How much is my iPhone 12 mini worth in 2026?
Thinking of selling your Apple iPhone 12 mini? It could be worth up to £96. What you get depends on two things: its storage and its condition. Pick both above and you'll see your price straight away. There's no account to set up first.
It doesn't need to be perfect. You can sell an iPhone 12 mini that works perfectly, trade in one with a cracked screen, or recycle one that won't switch on at all. Every condition has a price.

| 128GB | £91 | £75 | £40 | £26 |

Not sure which storage you have? Go to Settings > General > About and look next to "Capacity".

What affects your iPhone 12 mini trade in price?
Two of the same model can be worth very different amounts. These are the things that matter most.
Find My
It must be off. If the phone is still linked to an Apple Account, nobody can use it, so we can't buy it.
The screen
A clean screen gets the highest offer. Cracks, deep scratches or dead pixels bring it down.
The body
Small marks are normal. Dents, a bent frame or cracked back glass lower the offer.
Battery health
Check it under Settings > Battery. A badly worn battery reduces the value.
Network lock
An unlocked iPhone is worth more than one tied to a single network.
Faults
Problems with Face ID, the cameras, speakers, buttons or charging port all change the price.
Be honest when you answer the questions. It means your offer won't change when we check it.
Can I sell a broken iPhone 12 mini?
Yes. We pay up to £26 for one that doesn't work and up to £43 with a cracked screen.
That includes an iPhone that won't switch on, or has a faulty camera, speaker or button. Choose "Not working" when you get your price. There's nothing to repair first.
We can't accept an iPhone that is bent or has liquid damage (signs of oxidation).
