Sell your iPhone 11. It is worth more than nothing, which is what it is worth in a drawer.

11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max. Old, scratched, cracked or dead. Still a real offer, still a free courier.

By this generation most people have stopped believing their phone has any value at all, and that belief costs them money. An iPhone 11 in working condition is still bought and sold in South Africa every day, mostly as a first smartphone or a reliable second phone, and there is a genuine market price for it.

It is not a large number. We are not going to pretend otherwise, and you will see the real figure in the calculator in about a minute rather than being walked through a sales process to get to it.

But it is a real number, the courier to come and fetch it is free, and the alternative is a phone that will be worth measurably less every year until it is worth only the parts inside it.

Every one of these has two numbers.

What it is worth working, and what it is worth faulty. Both are real, both are yours in about a minute, and both depend on the actual device rather than a best case printed on a page. That is why the number lives in the calculator and not in a table here.

If you are upgrading, you are not selling. You are part-paying.

Realistically an 11 does not part-fund a current flagship. It does make a solid dent in a second-hand 13, which is a large jump in day-to-day use for not much money.

Take the payout as EpicDeals.co.za credit instead of cash and we add 12% on top. That is us paying you for not needing the money in your account today, and it costs you nothing if you were going to spend it here anyway.

The 12% is only worth taking if you were going to spend it. If you need the cash, take the cash, and we will not make the voucher hard to refuse.

What actually moves the number.

Whether it still holds a charge at all

At this age the battery is the whole conversation. A phone that lasts a working day is worth appreciably more than one that dies by lunchtime, because the first is somebody's daily phone and the second is somebody's project.

The Pro models, which aged better

The 11 Pro's OLED screen and three cameras keep it desirable in a way the standard 11's LCD does not. The gap between the two is proportionally larger now than it was new.

Whether it is blacklisted

More relevant on older phones, which have had more owners. A blacklisted handset cannot be bought at any price. Check it with your network before sending, because it is the one fault that ends the transaction rather than adjusting it.

Honestly, condition matters less down here

On a current phone a scratch costs real money. On an 11, cosmetic condition is a small adjustment. Do not talk yourself out of a quote because it looks tired.

Things that do not disqualify it.

Every one of these lowers the offer. Not one of them ends it. Pick the matching condition, say what is wrong in the notes, and the price you are shown already accounts for it.

  • Cracked or shattered screen, front or back glass
  • Battery health under 80%, or a phone that dies at 30%
  • Face ID that has stopped working
  • Charging port that only works if you hold the cable just so
  • Camera with dust, haze or a rattling stabiliser
  • Water damage, including phones that dried out and seemed fine
  • Will not switch on at all

iPhone 11 questions.

That is your call and we are not going to push. What we would say is that the effort is about four minutes and a courier that comes to you, and the phone is not going to be worth more later. Get the number first, then decide.

One minute, one number.

No account, no obligation, no salesperson phoning you at supper time.
