Condition costs less here than you might expect. Grade A pays $334 unlocked and Grade C still pays $266 — a $68 spread, roughly 20%. Scratches and a tired screen will not gut the offer on an iPhone 16 256GB.
Even a dead one is worth bringing in: an iPhone 16 256GB that will not power on is still $32 to us, because the board, camera and housing get reused. Do not throw it in a drawer.
Carrier lock is the single biggest lever on this model. Unlocked, Grade A pays $334; locked to a carrier it is $251. If your contract is finished, asking your carrier to unlock it before you come in is worth $83 for a phone call.
Never opened? A sealed iPhone 16 256GB carries a $166 premium over a used Grade A one — $500 against $334. Bring the box and the seal intact and say so at the counter.
We buy the iPhone 16 in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB. Storage moves the number, so check you are reading the row for the size you actually have — Settings › General › About will tell you in a few seconds.
Repair first, or sell as is? A screen on an iPhone 16 costs $139 and only lifts the offer by about $68. On this model repairing before selling loses you money — sell it cracked and let us handle it.
Battery health below 80% pulls the grade down. A replacement is $69 on an iPhone 16, which is usually worth doing only if you are keeping the phone, not if you are selling it to us.
Same model, different storage: 128GB · 512GB
