Why do iPhone recycling prices vary so much?
Each recycler has different resale channels, different stock needs and different margins. One recycler might be buying aggressively this week because they have a wholesale buyer for iPhone 15 Pros. Another is overstocked and paying less. These conditions change daily — which is why the best recycler for your phone today may not be the best recycler next week.
Which iPhone models recycle for the most?
Best absolute value: iPhone 17 Pro Max — up to £780 from the best recyclers. Strong refurbished buyer demand for the titanium build, ProMotion display and 5x zoom.
Best value retention vs original price: iPhone 15 Pro Max — launched at £1,199, now recycling for up to £460. Approximately 38% of launch price retained.
Most commonly recycled: iPhone 13 — high volume drives competitive pricing. The best recycler for an iPhone 13 typically pays £40–50 more than the worst.
When to recycle your iPhone
Best time: May–August, before Apple's September announcement. Prices are strongest in the months before a new iPhone launch.
Worst time: October–November, immediately after a new iPhone launch. Trade-in volumes spike and recycler prices drop.
Right now (July 2026) is a good window — iPhone 18 is not announced until September. Prices for current models are at their seasonal peak.
