Sell your iPhone 12 Mini to mendmyi for cash, paid the same day

Sell Your iPhone 12 Mini

We pay up to £104, paid the same day.

A cracked screen or a worn battery does not stop you selling your iPhone 12 Mini to mendmyi. We grade the handset on its condition, functionality and completeness once it arrives, confirm the offer after inspection, and hold it for 14 days. Whether yours is cracked or working, the state it arrives in determines which offer level applies.

Not sure whether a part is original? How to check a refurbished phone

Before you sell

We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.

We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.

Combined rating across Google, Trustpilot and Facebook reviews.

Paid the same day

Cash or bank transfer as soon as your device is checked, not store credit.

Price held 14 days

Once we send your offer it will not drop, so you have time to decide.

We repair, so faulty still pays

Cracked screen or worn battery is a job on our bench, not a write-off.

Not the iPhone 12 Mini storage or condition you were looking for?

We buy a lot more than we list here. Older iPhones, Samsung and Pixel handsets, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks and games consoles all get a real offer, and a cracked or faulty device is still worth something to us because we repair them in house. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a firm price.

No obligation, and nothing to pay. We will not give you a number we cannot honour, so if we need to see it first we will say so.

Three steps

How selling your iPhone 12 Mini works

No haggling, no waiting on a callback, and no offer that quietly drops when you arrive.

Get your price

Pick your iPhone 12 Mini storage and condition above and the price we pay appears straight away, no waiting for a callback.

Get it to us, three ways

Walk into the shop, book a free collection from your door within 5 miles, or post it free from anywhere in mainland UK.

Paid the same day

Accept the offer and you are paid there and then, cash or bank transfer, never store credit.

Your price

What your iPhone 12 Mini is worth depends on

Storage

Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which iPhone 12 Mini you have and it prices that exact variant.

We buy the 64GB, 128GB and 256GB versions of the iPhone 12 Mini. The storage capacity is one of the details that decides which offer applies to your handset, so look at the capacity it reports before you start the sale.

Screen condition

A cracked screen does not drop you to a faulty price. You keep the condition the phone is otherwise in and we simply take off what the glass costs us to replace, because we replace them ourselves.

Body and connector

Dents, scuffs and cracks to the casing are graded as part of the overall condition. A cracked back or a bent frame lowers the offer but rarely rules a device out.

You can arrange a free collection, bring the iPhone 12 Mini to our Haverhill shop counter, or post it in, and the confirmed offer is the same on every route. Once the offer has been confirmed after inspection, it stays valid for 14 days.

Battery health

Our cut off is 90 per cent, so at or above that there is no deduction at all. Below it we take off what a genuine replacement costs us rather than calling the iPhone 12 Mini faulty. Apple's own 80 per cent mark is a repair threshold, not a resale one.

We buy iPhone 12 Mini handsets with a cracked screen or a worn battery alongside those in excellent shape. The offer you see is built from a grading of overall condition, functionality and completeness after inspection, so damage lowers the grade rather than ruling the phone out.

Give the handset a full charge before it leaves you and check that it switches on. An iPhone 12 Mini that powers up normally and stays running while the battery is tested is straightforward for us to grade, so a quick check beforehand helps the sale go through without extra back and forth.

Whether it powers on

A device that boots and passes our checks is worth more than one that does not, but a dead handset is still worth telling us about rather than binning.

mendmyi repairs phones as well as buying them, so a faulty iPhone 12 Mini leaves you with a choice rather than a dead end. You can sell the handset exactly as it is, or have it repaired first, and neither path is pushed on you.

iCloud or Google account lock

We can only buy your iPhone 12 Mini once it is signed out of iCloud, with Find My switched off.

An iPhone 12 Mini that is still signed in to an Apple Account cannot be fully tested or passed on to someone else. Remove the handset from your Apple Account and switch Find My off before collection, counter drop-off or posting, and the handset arrives ready to be assessed.

Original parts matter to the price: an aftermarket screen, battery or camera fitted by someone else changes what we can pay. If you are not sure what is in your iPhone 12 Mini, our guide on how to check a refurbished phone walks through what to look for.

Five minutes

Before you sell: five minutes that protect you

Do these before you hand the device over and the sale goes through without a hitch.

  • 1.Back up what you want to keep

    Photos, contacts and anything else you would not want to lose. If an upgrade is replacing it, here is our guide to moving everything to your new phone.

  • 2.Sign out of iCloud or your Google account

    Turn off Find My before you hand over the iPhone 12 Mini. A device still signed in cannot be bought from you.

  • 3.Take out the SIM and any memory card

    These are yours to keep and are not part of the sale.

  • 4.Note down the IMEI

    Dial *#06# or check Settings to find it, in case you want a record for your own files.

No surprises

Ownership, ID and your data

Three things worth knowing before you sell anything to anyone, not just to us.

The device has to be yours to sell

We cannot buy a device that is still under contract or on finance, because until it is paid off you are not yet its legal owner. We also cannot buy a device that is part of an ongoing insurance claim, or that has been reported lost or stolen.

"This device is not under contract or finance, is not part of an insurance claim, and has not been reported lost or stolen - I own it outright."

We record name, address and ID on every purchase

We record the name and address of everyone we buy from, and check them against photo ID and proof of address. HMRC requires it: buying from a private seller, we have to raise the purchase invoice ourselves and it must carry your details. Bring the documents into the shop and show us, or send a photo if the device is reaching us another way.

It protects you as much as us: the purchase can always be traced back to a genuine sale rather than an anonymous one. A photocard driving licence showing your current address covers both documents on its own.

GOV.UK: VAT margin schemes, section 6.2

Your data is wiped at our shop

Once your device is checked in, it is fully wiped and factory reset at our shop before it goes anywhere else. Nothing of yours is left behind on it.

Locked in

Your price is held for 14 days

Once we send you an offer for your iPhone 12 Mini, it is held for 14 days. That gives you time to compare us against the online recyclers before deciding, without the price moving under you.

“Excellent customer service: the staff member in the shop was knowledgeable about what the problem with the iPad might be, how long it would take to solve it and how much it would cost.

Selling your iPhone 12 Mini

Suppose the screen of my iPhone 12 Mini is cracked and the battery is past its best. Can I still sell the phone to mendmyi?

Yes. Rather than treating a cracked screen or a worn battery as a disqualifier, we note both and weigh them into the offer we confirm for the iPhone 12 Mini after inspecting its condition, functionality and completeness.

If I sell my iPhone 12 Mini while it is still linked to my Apple Account with Find My on, can you sort that out for me?

No. The release has to come from you before we take the phone. Remove the iPhone 12 Mini from your Apple Account and disable Find My, otherwise the handset cannot be properly tested or handed on to its next owner.

Rather than post my iPhone 12 Mini, could I use a collection or call in somewhere to hand it over?

Yes. Alongside posting the handset, mendmyi offers a free collection and a Haverhill shop counter where you can drop the iPhone 12 Mini off in person, and the confirmed offer is the same whichever of the three options you choose.

I have not sold a phone before. What identification does mendmyi need, and when would the money for my iPhone 12 Mini be sent?

Photo ID and proof of address are required on every purchase with no exceptions. Once both are confirmed, payment for the iPhone 12 Mini goes out the same day regardless of whether it was collected, posted or handed in at the counter.

Should I have mendmyi repair my iPhone 12 Mini, or sell it to you as it is?

That is a genuine choice, because mendmyi repairs phones and buys them and your iPhone 12 Mini can go either way. Compare what having the handset fixed would involve against selling it in its current state, and pick whatever fits you; nobody will push you towards one option.

Once you have inspected my iPhone 12 Mini and confirmed an offer, how long do I get to accept it?

The confirmed offer is held for 14 days. After the inspection of your iPhone 12 Mini the figure stays at that level, so you have two weeks to decide without feeling rushed.
