How much is my iPhone Air worth in 2026?
Thinking of selling your Apple iPhone Air? It could be worth up to £365. 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 Air 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.
| Storage | Flawless | Good, fully working | Cracked screen | Not working |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 256GB | £296 | £258 | £128 | £100 |
| 512GB | £365 | £329 | £224 | £100 |
| 1TB | £364 | £360 | £159 | £100 |
Not sure which storage you have? Go to Settings > General > About and look next to "Capacity".
What do the conditions mean?
- Flawless
- Flawless appearance with no visible scratches. Screen has no defective pixels (e.g. ghost touch, screen burn-in, dead pixels), and the touchscreen works. Everything works.
- Good, fully working
- A few faint signs of wear, not noticeable from 8 inches away. No cracks or dents. Screen has no defective pixels (e.g. ghost touch, screen burn-in, dead pixels) and the touchscreen works. Everything works.
- Cracked screen
- The screen has one or more cracks, but everything else works.
- Not working
- It doesn't switch on, or fails any of the checks below.
Fully working means
- The device turns on, turns off, and charges. It has a battery, case, and SIM drawer.
- The front and rear cameras work perfectly.
- The speakers and microphones work perfectly.
- Touch ID and Face ID are functional (if present).
- All other features including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, buttons, etc. work perfectly.
Why sell your iPhone Air now?
Trade-in prices don't stand still. Each time a newer model comes out, older ones drop in value. The graph below shows how the iPhone Air value is likely to drop over the next 6 months.
If your iPhone Air is sitting in a drawer, it's losing value every month. Selling sooner almost always means more cash.

What affects your iPhone Air 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 Air?
Yes. We pay up to £100 for one that doesn't work and up to £224 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).
