How to Trade In Your iPhone with Mobile Life

Get Your Quote

Pick your iPhone model and condition on our website or WhatsApp to see an indicative figure in minutes.

Book an Inspection

Walk into any store, or book a doorstep pickup or an MRT meet-up at a time that suits you.

We Confirm the Condition

A technician checks your iPhone, confirms the final offer, and explains anything that changed the figure.

You Get Paid

Take cash or PayNow on the spot, or put the value towards a new or refurbished device.

What Can Change Your Final iPhone Offer

Screen Condition

Cracks, deep scratches, burn-in and dead touch zones lower the offer. Light surface marks from daily use usually do not.

Battery Health

Below 80 percent capacity reduces the offer, as the battery needs replacing before resale. Check under Settings, Battery, Battery Health and Charging.

Body and Frame Condition

Dents, a bent frame and heavy edge wear affect the offer more than most expect. A clean, straight body helps your iPhone hold value.

Model and Storage Size

Newer models and larger storage hold value better, and each combination is valued separately. A 256GB iPhone is worth more than the 128GB version.

Original Box and Accessories

The original box, cable and any unused accessories can lift your offer, though none are essential to trade in.

Previous Repair History

Earlier repairs are accepted. A repair done to a lower part grade may reduce the offer, which our inspection will identify and explain.

Find My and Activation Lock

Find My iPhone and the Apple Account lock must be off before a trade-in is completed. This is the most common reason one stalls at the counter. Sign out under Settings, your name, then Find My.

Face ID and Camera Function

Broken Face ID and camera faults reduce the offer noticeably on Pro models, where the camera carries much of the value. Our inspection checks both.

Trusted by Thousands of Customers Since 2006


Mobile Life has traded in Singapore since 2006 and served more than 54,000 customers. We are CaseTrust accredited and were recognised at the SRA Retail Awards 2024, so you are dealing with an established, accountable business.


The Trusted Place to Sell or Trade In Your iPhone in Singapore


With 20 years in the trade, you can have peace of mind that we value iPhones properly at Mobile Life. Our technicians inspect and refurbish devices every day, so the figure reflects what your iPhone is actually worth. We resell through our own stores rather than passing devices on, which helps us hold our prices. 


The inspection is explained as it happens, the figure is confirmed before the device changes hands, and every iPhone is wiped and factory reset before resale. If you find a better price elsewhere, we aim to match it.

iPhone Models We Accept for Trade-In

We accept iPhone trade-ins from older models to the latest release. Here is how each current generation tends to hold its value. Prices are confirmed at inspection, not listed here.

iPhone SE

The iPhone SE 2020 and SE 2022, the budget line with the home button. Values are modest, but both are accepted and stay in steady demand as affordable everyday phones.

iPhone 13 Series

The iPhone 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. Several generations old now, but still in demand thanks to strong battery life and capable cameras.

iPhone 14 Series

The iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Holding value reasonably well, especially the Pro models with brighter displays and better cameras.

iPhone 15 Series

The iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. As the first USB-C generation, demand is strong, and the Pro models return solid figures.

iPhone 16 Series

The iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Recent stock that trades in strongly, with the Pro models near the top for value retention.

iPhone 17 Series and iPhone Air

The iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air. The newest models command the highest trade-in values, so trading in early returns the most.

iPhone 18 Series (Upcoming)

The iPhone 18 series has not launched and is not accepted yet. Once released, we will list it with its own valuation. Check back near launch.

Own an older or unlisted iPhone, or have other Apple devices to clear? You can also sell your iPad or arrange a MacBook trade-in with Mobile Life.

Why Trade In Your iPhone?

Most people keep an old iPhone long after they stop using it, and it loses value every month it sits in a drawer. Trading it in turns that idle device into cash today or money off your next upgrade.

Turn an Unused Device Into Cash or Credit

An iPhone you no longer use is money sitting idle. Trade it in for cash or PayNow on the spot, or apply the value as credit towards your next device. Both routes put it back to work.

Value Drops the Longer You Wait

Trade-in values fall as newer models launch, so timing matters. You usually get the most shortly before or after a new iPhone release, while demand is high. Waiting a year often means a lower offer.

Cut the Cost of Your Next Upgrade

Putting your trade-in value against a new or refurbished iPhone is usually the cheapest way to upgrade. Instead of paying full price and leaving your old phone in a drawer, you lower the cost straight away.

Keep a Working Device Out of a Drawer

A working iPhone that is traded in gets inspected, refurbished and resold rather than discarded. Mobile Life has recycled more than 3,400 LCDs and batteries, keeping working parts and materials in use rather than wasted.

Why Choose Mobile Life to Trade In Your iPhone

Competitive Prices

Our technicians know what a used iPhone is really worth, and we resell through our own stores, so our prices are competitive. Find a better quote, and we will aim to match it.

Paid on the Spot

No waiting days for a bank transfer. Once you accept the offer, you are paid on the spot in cash or PayNow, or given credit for your next device.

Islandwide Access

Four outlets in the heartlands plus doorstep pickup at a flat S$30 make trading in easy from anywhere in Singapore. Every store sits at or beside an MRT station.

CaseTrust Accredited

Mobile Life is CaseTrust accredited and was recognised at the SRA Retail Awards 2024, a clear signal you are dealing with an established, accountable retailer.

Free Valuation, No Obligation

Your valuation is free with no obligation. Get an indicative figure online, confirm it in store, and walk away if the offer is not for you.

Cash or Credit Towards a New Device

You choose how you are paid: full value in cash or PayNow, or credit towards a new or refurbished Apple iPhone. Trading in is not tied to buying from us.

Transparent Inspection

You see the inspection as it happens. Our technician talks you through the condition and explains anything that changes the figure, so the offer is never a surprise.

Data Wiped Before Resale

Every iPhone is fully wiped and factory reset before it is refurbished or resold, so none of your photos, messages or accounts remain within the device.
