Sell Your iPhone Air 2

We pay up to £482, paid the same day.

An iPhone Air 2 is expected to follow the original Air about a year on, most likely in Spring 2027, though Apple hasn't announced anything. Before it exists, the only honest figure we can put in front of you is what an iPhone Air is worth today, used as a stand-in and marked as one. We'll take the real thing in trade from the day it ships, and it gets a valuation of its own once we've had a few across the bench.

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.

Paid the same day

Bank transfer as soon as your device is checked, or store credit towards an upgrade or downgrade.

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 2 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.

Your price

What your iPhone Air 2 is worth depends on

Storage

Bigger storage means a better price. Tell the finder above which iPhone Air 2 you have and it prices that exact variant.

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.

A slimmer chassis usually means less room to absorb a knock, and that held true for the original Air's return condition. Expect our grading on the Air 2 to pay particular attention to frame and back-glass damage for the same reason, once we're assessing real handsets.

We're anchoring today's Air 2 quote to the current iPhone Air rather than a numbered or Pro model, because it's the closest thing on sale to what the Air 2 is actually expected to replace. That anchor comes off the moment real Air 2 pricing exists.

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

The first iPhone Air made a genuine trade-off between thinness and battery capacity, and how well the Air 2 improves on that will shape how it's graded once we're handling real units. We're not assuming Apple has solved it before the phone exists.

Battery life was the most common complaint about the original Air, fairly or not, and that's exactly the kind of thing that could move trade-in demand for the Air 2 sharply either way. We'd rather flag that honestly now than promise an improvement Apple hasn't announced.

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.

A slim handset that still powers on and passes our checks will always grade above one that's stopped responding, and the Air 2 won't be any different. If an Air of yours has gone completely dead, we'll still buy it, just not through the form on this page: that needs the phone to switch on before it can grade it. Drop us a line with photos and we'll quote it by hand.

iCloud or Google account lock

We can only buy your iPhone Air 2 once it is signed out of iCloud, with Find My switched off.

Do the sign out before an Air goes in the post, not after. Once it's out of your hands you're relying on remembering to do it from another device or from iCloud, and a handset that turns up here still locked just sits waiting while we chase you. Find My off, Apple Account signed out, then pack it.

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 2, 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 2. 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 2, 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.

Selling your iPhone Air 2

When does the iPhone Air 2 come out?

Spring 2027 is our current expectation, following on from the original Air's release, but Apple hasn't set or confirmed a date.

How much will an iPhone Air 2 trade in for?

We don't have real Air 2 figures yet, since the phone hasn't launched. Right now we quote against today's iPhone Air value, and that's replaced with genuine Air 2 pricing as soon as Apple announces the device.

Will the iPhone Air 2 trade in for more than the original iPhone Air?

Too early to say. It depends on what Apple actually changes, particularly around battery life, and we won't promise a number until we've seen the real specs and the actual demand for it.

Does a thinner phone get graded more harshly?

Not harshly, but differently. On the original Air we look closely at the frame and the back, because a slim body has less material to absorb a knock. We'd expect to assess an Air 2 the same way, and that's not a judgement on the phone, just where damage tends to show up on one.

My iPhone Air is damaged. Should I have it repaired or sell it as it is?

Both are on the table with us, since mendmyi repairs handsets alongside buying them. If you want to carry on using it, having it put right is the obvious move. If you were already planning to move on when the Air 2 appears, there's rarely much sense in fixing a phone you're about to part with, and we'll take it damaged.

How long will you honour a figure you have quoted me?

Fourteen days from the point the device has been inspected and the offer confirmed. The window exists so you can weigh us up against anyone else without the figure moving while you do it. It applies to handsets we can actually get hold of, so for the Air 2 that starts once the phone is out.
