The iPhone 16 Plus brought the same A18 chip, Camera Control button, Action button, and dual 48MP + 12Mp camera system as the standard iPhone 16 but in a larger 6.7-inch body with significantly better battery life. It was the big-screen option for buyers who wanted maximum display real estate and endurance without paying for Pro features. It still holds solid resale demand among buyers who prioritize screen size and battery life over Pro camera specs. We accept all conditions including broken or cracked screens, so whatever state your iPhone 16 Plus is in, get your quote and ship it free.
Storage, carrier, and condition are the three biggest drivers of your iPhone 16 Plus offer. The 512GB unlocked model in excellent condition commands the strongest offer. The 128GB carrier-locked model in broken condition comes in at the lower end. The gap between storage tiers is meaningful, so double check yours before selecting.

Storage: Available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Higher storage variants fetch meaningfully stronger offers. The gap between the base 128GB and the top 512GB is significant at every condition tier.
Carrier: Unlocked iPhone 16 Plus models command the strongest offers because they appeal to the widest buyer pool. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon-locked devices are accepted but typically fetch slightly lower offers.
Condition: Four tiers determine your offer:
Display condition: The iPhone 16 Plus has a larger 6.7-inch display than the standard iPhone 16. More screen real estate means screen damage is more visible and more impactful on the offer. Assess your display condition carefully before selecting your tier.
Camera Control and Action button condition: Both buttons are unique to the iPhone 16 lineup. If either is non-functional or unresponsive, select your condition accurately.
Dual camera condition: The iPhone 16 Plus shares the same 48MP Fusion main and 12MP Ultra Wide rear camera system as the standard iPhone 16. Any scratches on the camera lenses or module damage should be noted accurately.
Aluminum frame condition: The iPhone 16 Plus uses an aluminum frame. Scratches and scuffs from daily use are common and will affect your condition tier, so assess it honestly before selecting.
Activation Lock: An iPhone with iCloud Activation Lock still enabled significantly reduces resale value. Sign out of your Apple ID and disable Find My before selling. This is the single most important step you can take to protect your offer.
Timing: The iPhone 16 Plus launched in September 2024. With the iPhone 17 now available and the Plus model replaced by the iPhone Air, values are declining. Selling sooner rather than later protects your return.
Selling your iPhone 16 Plus with The Whiz Cells takes about five minutes to get started. Here’s exactly how it works:
Find the iPhone 16 Plus on this page and select your carrier, storage, and condition. Be accurate with your condition selection. A mismatch between what you select and what we receive during inspection can affect your final payout. Once you’ve made your selections, you’ll get an instant quote with no obligation to accept.
Before boxing it up, do three things. First, back up your data to iCloud or your computer via Finder. Second, sign out of your Apple ID under Settings to remove Activation Lock and disassociate the phone from your account. Third, go to Settings, then General, then Transfer or Reset iPhone, then Erase All Content and Settings to factory reset your device. This protects your personal data and ensures the next owner can set up the phone without any issues.
Once you accept your offer, we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label. The iPhone 16 Plus is a larger device than the standard iPhone 16, so make sure you use a box with enough room to pack it securely with bubble wrap or foam padding on all sides. Drop it off at any USPS location. Shipping costs nothing on your end.
Once your iPhone 16 Plus arrives and passes inspection, payment goes out within a single business day. Choose PayPal for the fastest payout. Many sellers receive their money within minutes of approval. If anything comes up during inspection that affects your offer, we’ll contact you before proceeding.
The iPhone 16 Plus attracted buyers who wanted the largest non-Pro iPhone with the best battery life Apple offered in 2024. That audience still exists in the resale market. But Apple replaced the Plus with the iPhone Air in the iPhone 17 lineup, which means the 16 Plus is now a discontinued form factor, and values will continue to decline as buyers move toward the current lineup.

It depends on storage, carrier, and condition. The 512GB unlocked model in excellent condition commands the strongest offer. The 128GB carrier-locked model in broken condition comes in at the lower end. With the iPhone 17 now available and the Plus form factor replaced by the Air, values are declining. Get your instant quote above to find out exactly what yours is worth right now.
Yes, and sooner is better than later. Apple replaced the Plus with the iPhone Air in the iPhone 17 lineup, making the 16 Plus a discontinued form factor. Values will continue to decline as buyers shift toward the current lineup. Whatever your iPhone 16 Plus is worth today, it will be worth less in six months.
Apple replaced the Plus form factor with the iPhone Air in the iPhone 17 lineup. The Air is thinner, lighter, and has a larger 6.5-inch display with a titanium frame and A19 Pro chip. If you’re upgrading, selling your 16 Plus now while values are still solid is the smart move.
Yes. The Whiz Cells accepts iPhone 16 Plus models locked to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Unlocked devices typically command a slightly stronger offer but all carrier configurations are welcome.
The Whiz Cells is the best place to sell your broken iPhone 16 Plus. As long as it powers on and has no water damage, we’ll make you an offer. Screen burn, bad battery, faulty ports, broken Face ID, and cracked glass all qualify under the broken condition tier. Your offer will reflect the damage but you won’t get turned away for it.
Yes, significantly. The gap between 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB is meaningful at every condition tier. Higher storage variants consistently command stronger offers. Double check your storage before selecting.
Yes. The Whiz Cells is the best place to trade in your iPhone 16 Plus for cash. Get your instant quote above, ship for free, and receive payment in as little as one business day. It’s a faster and higher-paying alternative to Apple’s own trade-in program or carrier trade-ins.
Three things make the biggest difference. First, sell now rather than waiting. The 16 Plus is a discontinued form factor and values are declining. Second, choose the highest storage tier you have. 512GB commands a meaningfully stronger offer than 128GB. Third, remove Activation Lock before shipping by signing out of your Apple ID.
