How Much Is My iPhone 16 Plus Worth?

iPhone 16 Plus Trade-In Value Guide

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:

• Excellent: Pristine condition, no scratches, battery health above 85%, fully functional with original parts. Less than 10% of devices qualify. Strongest offer.
• Good: Light signs of wear, minor scratches that can’t be felt by a fingernail, battery above 85%, display with no defects. Strong offer.
• Cracked Glass: Functional device with cracked front, back, or camera glass, possible frame dents or deep scratches. LCD must be defect-free, battery above 80%. Moderate offer.
• Broken: Device must power on and have no water damage. Screen burn, bad battery, faulty ports, broken Face ID, or modified software all qualify. Lowest offer but still worth something.

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.

How to Sell Your iPhone 16 Plus

Selling your iPhone 16 Plus with The Whiz Cells takes about five minutes to get started. Here’s exactly how it works:

Step 1: Get your instant quote

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.

Step 2: Prep your iPhone 16 Plus before shipping

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.

Step 3: Ship your iPhone 16 Plus for free

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.

Step 4: Get paid stupid fast

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.

Why Sell Your iPhone 16 Plus With The Whiz Cells

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.
