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

Sell Your iPhone Air

We pay up to £482, paid the same day.

The offer for your iPhone Air is based on condition, functionality and completeness as we assess it. A damaged screen or a worn battery affects where the device sits in our grading, but it is not a reason for refusal. The offer we show at the start is the offer we pay, with no haggling once the phone arrives. Sign out of your Apple Account and switch off Find My before sending it, and the handover is simple.

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.

★★★★★ 4.9 from 763 reviews

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 Air 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 Air works

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

Get your price

Pick your iPhone Air 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.

How selling your phone works, start to finish →

Your price

What your iPhone Air is worth depends on

Storage

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

The iPhone Air storage options we buy are 256GB, 512GB and 1024GB. When you ask for a valuation, select the capacity you have and check the details match, so the assessment is not delayed by a correction.

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.

We grade your iPhone Air on condition, functionality and completeness. Cracks and other visible damage are not automatic refusals, but they do affect where the handset falls in our grading. Be accurate about any breakage when you request your valuation so the offer reflects the phone we receive.

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.

Choose the route that suits you best: a free collection, a drop-off at the Haverhill shop counter, or a posted parcel. The offer for the iPhone Air does not change with the route, so you are not penalised for sending it in.

Payment is released the same day once we have confirmed your photo ID and proof of address. These identity checks apply to every iPhone Air purchase and every delivery route, with no exceptions.

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 Air faulty. Apple's own 80 per cent mark is a repair threshold, not a resale one.

A worn battery is part of the condition story for your iPhone Air rather than a reason to stop the sale. Power the device on before sending it and note any battery issues when you request your valuation, so our testing can be completed without surprises.

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.

iCloud or Google account lock

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

Part of selling preparation is freeing the handset from your account. Sign out of your Apple Account on the iPhone Air and turn off Find My before collection or postage, so the device arrives ready for our checks without hold-ups.

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 Air, 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 Air. 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 Air, 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.

“Popped in to see if worth fixing my mobile. Was very helpful in weighing up if it was worth it or not. As it wasn’t, I just enquired if he had a phone I was looking for. Turned out although they wouldn’t normally of had one, as new out. He did as someone else wanted to change to a larger version. So with in a few hours I had a new phone, which saved me £200 and stopped me wasting any further money on my old phone. Very helpful and informative. Switched cable for one suitable for my set up and put a screen cover on for me at no charge. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.”

Selling your iPhone Air

Will the amount I am shown for my iPhone Air be reduced after you have inspected it?

No. The offer we show you is the offer we pay, not an opening position. Arrival checks are there to confirm the condition, functionality and completeness of your iPhone Air, not to create a reason to lower the amount.

The screen on my iPhone Air is cracked and the battery runs down quickly. Can I still sell it?

Yes. A cracked screen and a worn battery are condition points we grade rather than grounds to reject the sale, so the offer for your iPhone Air reflects the state of the whole handset.

Will my Apple Account and Find My still being switched on hold up my iPhone Air sale?

Yes, they can. Please sign out of your Apple Account and turn off Find My before the iPhone Air is collected or posted, so it arrives ready for testing and can be transferred without delay.

If I ask for a free collection instead of posting my iPhone Air, will the amount stay the same?

Yes, it will. Free collection, drop-off at our Haverhill shop counter and posting are all treated the same, so you can choose whichever is easiest without changing the figure we pay.

What identification is needed for an iPhone Air sale and when does payment go out?

Photo ID and proof of address are required with no exceptions, and payment goes out the same day once both have been confirmed, no matter how the iPhone Air reached us.

Could mendmyi repair my iPhone Air instead of just buying it, and how do I decide between the two?

Yes, mendmyi repairs devices as well as buying them, so repair and sell are both genuine options for your iPhone Air. Have us look at the damage and give you a repair assessment, then compare that with the sale route to decide which is right for you.
