Quick Checks Before You Sell,Give Away, or Trade In Your iPhone

Whether you’re sending your iPhone from vibrant Sydney, bustling Melbourne, sunny Brisbane, or anywhere across Australia, following this simple checklist will ensure your data is safe and your cash payout is processed without delay.


  • Back Up Your Tech

    Save your photos, files, and apps to iCloud or your computer so you can easily transfer them to your next device.


  • Check Parts and Service History

    Check Settings > General > About. If you see a “Finish Repair” message, simply use the Repair Assistant to complete the calibration to ensure it works perfectly.


  • Sign Out of iCloud

    Turn off Find My iPhone and sign out of your Apple ID. This is the most important step for an instant valuation and smooth trade-in process.


  • Factory Reset Your iPhone

    Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings. This clears your personal data and gets your device ready for its next owner.


  • Remove Your SIM and Accessories

    Take out your physical SIM card, cases, screen protectors, and any other accessories. Only send the iPhone itself, unless you want us to recycle the accessories.


  • Pack Your iPhone Securely

    Use a sturdy box or padded mailer to protect your iPhone during transit when you send it to our Melbourne processing hub.

Yes, it’s safe to sell your iPhone to Mobile Guru. We’re a 100% Australian-owned, licensed second-hand dealer (SHD-0016601), and thousands of Aussies have sold their devices with us. Everything is handled securely, with fast and reliable payments.

Yes, you can sell multiple iPhones in one go. Add each device to your order to receive a single prepaid shipping label. For bulk orders (5+ devices or over $5,000), get in touch with us on 1300 362 017 for a custom quote and priority processing.

Yes, we accept broken or damaged iPhones, including cracked screens, battery issues, software faults, or devices that won’t turn on. Just make sure the condition is described accurately when getting your quote. We’ll responsibly recycle what can’t be reused, and your payout can still go towards a refurbished upgrade if you like.

Before sending your device, back up your data, factory reset your iPhone, and sign out of iCloud and Find My iPhone. Also, remove your SIM card, case, and any screen protectors. This helps keep your data safe and makes processing smoother once it reaches our Melbourne team.

Your iPhone’s value mainly depends on the model, storage size, physical condition, and battery health. Devices with higher battery capacity and good condition generally receive better offers. Using our 14-day price lock with accurate details helps ensure you get the best possible value.

Yes, you don’t need the original box or accessories. We only need the device itself. Accessories can be included for recycling, but they don’t affect your final quote.

Your quote is valid for 14 days under our price lock guarantee. As long as your device arrives within that period and matches the condition selected, your price stays the same.

Mobile Guru offers competitive cash pricing along with our Price Beat Guarantee. If you find a better genuine quote elsewhere, we’ll beat it by $20. With free express shipping and fast 24-hour payouts, it’s a simple way to get strong value without the hassle.

No, we can’t accept iCloud-locked devices as they can’t be processed or reused. Please ensure your Apple ID is signed out and Find My iPhone is disabled before sending your device. If it’s already been sent, you can remove the lock remotely via iCloud.com, and we’ll proceed once it’s cleared.

We’re committed to giving you the best value in Australia. If you find a higher genuine quote from another commercial trade-in site for the same device and condition, we’ll beat it by $20. The quote just needs to be from a licensed Australian business and dated within the last 7 days.
