Selling your iPhone 18 Pro Max — what to know
The iPhone 18 Pro Max is one of the flagships of Apple’s September 2026 launch, and in the first weeks after a release the phones offered to us are often sealed or barely used: carrier upgrades people did not need, duplicate orders, gifts, and upgrade regrets past the returns window. A sealed, unopened unit is graded Pristine — the top of the ladder — because the buyer gets a phone nobody has ever signed into.
Storage sets the price. Pick the exact tier printed on the box (it is on the barcode label next to the IMEI), then the condition. Every quote is checked against the IMEI for blacklist status and activation lock, so keep the receipt and do not open a sealed box just to look — the seal is part of the value.
Launch-week prices move quickly as trade-ins flood the market, so your price is locked for 14 days from when you complete your order: check out today, post the phone when it arrives, and the number does not change.

What condition is your iPhone 18 Pro Max in?
TechLoop buys every iPhone 18 Pro Max across four condition grades. Pick the one that matches your device when you get your quote — the price updates instantly.

Faulty or broken iPhone 18 Pro Max? Still worth selling.
We accept iPhone 18 Pro Max devices with cracked screens, shattered back glass, dents and scuffs, failing batteries, faulty Face ID or Touch ID, dead pixels, broken buttons or non-working cameras. Select Poor condition when you get your quote and you'll see the price for that grade instantly — no estimate, no "we'll let you know after inspection". A device that does not power on is also quoted as Poor, though the offer may be reduced further or refused once we can inspect it. The only devices we can't buy are ones locked to another account (iCloud, Google, Samsung) or reported lost or stolen.
iPhone 18 Pro Max buyback — common questions
The five things most people ask before selling an iPhone 18 Pro Max.
Which iPhone 18 Pro Max storage size is worth selling?
All four are worth selling, but the money is not spread evenly across them. The 18 Pro Max runs 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, and the gap between the two smallest tiers is modest — a few percent — while the step up to 1TB and again to 2TB is where the real premium sits. That matters when you are guessing from memory: getting the tier wrong at the bottom of the range costs you little, but calling a 2TB a 1TB gives away a large share of the value. The exact figure for every tier is in the variant table further up this page, taken from the same live pricing the quote form uses. If you are not certain which one you have, Settings › General › About shows Capacity, and the barcode label on the original box prints it next to the IMEI.
Should I sell my iPhone 18 Pro Max now or wait?
Flagship iPhones lose value on a predictable curve, and the steepest part of it is the first few months after launch — exactly where the 18 Pro Max is now. Supply is the reason: every carrier upgrade, duplicate order and unwanted gift from the September launch reaches the second-hand market at roughly the same time, and prices soften as that wave lands. Waiting for a better price on a phone this new usually means waiting for a worse one. If you already have a replacement, the sensible move is to lock a quote today: it holds for 14 days whatever the market does in the meantime, and there is no obligation to post if you change your mind. The quote simply expires.
Is a sealed iPhone 18 Pro Max worth more than a used one?
Yes, and the difference is bigger on a launch-window phone than on an older model. A sealed, unopened 18 Pro Max is graded Pristine because the buyer receives a handset nobody has ever signed into — no activation history, full battery cycles, untouched screen. If yours is still sealed, leave it sealed: opening the box to check the storage tier costs you the one thing that makes it worth the most, and the tier is printed on the barcode label on the outside. A phone that has been set up and used but carries no marks and holds battery health above 95% also grades Pristine, so an opened device in genuinely excellent condition is not far behind.
How much is a used iPhone 18 Pro Max worth at TechLoop?
Our top price for an iPhone 18 Pro Max in Pristine condition is £1,500. The final amount depends on the exact options (such as storage) and the condition you select. You get an instant quote before committing, and the price is locked for 14 days from when you complete your order. Four condition grades are available — Pristine, Good, Fair and Poor — and the quote updates live as you switch between them, so you can see exactly what an honest description of your device is worth before committing to anything. Prices track the UK resale market and update regularly, which means the quote you generate today reflects current demand rather than a stale published table. Because the price is locked for 14 days once you complete your order, a falling market cannot pull it down while your device is on its way — and if you decide not to sell, the order simply expires with no obligation and nothing to cancel.
Can I sell a cracked or broken iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Yes. TechLoop buys iPhone 18 Pro Max devices in Poor condition — heavy wear, cracks, dents or functional faults are accepted, and a device that does not power on is also quoted as Poor. Select "Poor" when you generate your quote and you'll see the price for that grade instantly, before you post anything: no "send it in and we'll make you an offer" uncertainty. Damaged devices retain real value because they are refurbished or used for parts recovery, so even a rough iPhone 18 Pro Max is usually worth meaningfully more than the nothing it earns in a drawer. One caveat: we cannot test a device that does not power on before it arrives, so the Poor offer may be reduced further on inspection depending on its state, or refused if it cannot be assessed. The devices we never accept are ones still locked to an iCloud, Google or Samsung account, or reported lost or stolen — those are legal hard limits, not grading decisions.
