Frequntly Asked Questions:
1. What is the best place to sell an iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB?
Online trade-in platforms like RecyclePro are your best bet for selling iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB — we offer free shipping, instant quotes, same-day payment, and more security than private sale, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace.
2. Does the iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB have better resale value than the 128GB model?
Yes, the iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB model typically fetches £10–£20 more than the 128GB version–due to its extra storage capacity.
3. Do I need to unlock my iPhone before selling it?
Yes — your iPhone must be unlocked before you can sell it. Carrier-locked or Activation-locked iPhones can't be resold or recycled, so most trade-in platforms, including RecyclePro, won't accept them.

With RecyclePro, payment lands in your account within 24 hours of your device passing inspection — so, you’ll be fully paid up within 48 to 72 hours of posting your iPhone.

Yes, you can recycle iPhones safely as long as you use a verified UK-based service. RecyclePro uses fully tracked and insured shipping, certified data wiping, and secure bank transfers, so your phone and personal information are both protected.
6. Can I get an exact quote before sending my device?
Yes — RecyclePro gives you an exact price upfront based on your iPhone's model, storage, and condition. If your iPhone matches the condition you selected, you’ll receive the full quoted price–no deductions.

10. How does RecyclePro handle e-waste recycling in the UK?
This is how RecyclePro handles broken iPhones: Any iPhone that can't be refurbished is dismantled and recycled in full compliance with WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations, ensuring components are disposed of responsibly and kept out of landfill.
