Sell your iPhone 18 Pro in Chicago.

Selling an iPhone 18 Pro—not a Pro Max

The iPhone 18 Pro has its own resale market. Do not use an estimate for the larger Pro Max, an earlier Pro generation or a phone that only looks similar. Open Settings → General → About and confirm that Model Name says iPhone 18 Pro. If you are helping a family member sell their phone, have the owner confirm the details and be available to complete the ownership checks.

• Record the exact Model Name and Capacity before requesting a quote.
• Include the carrier and whether Carrier Lock shows No SIM restrictions.
• For an unopened device, check the box label and discuss verification before opening it.

Storage, color and condition: build an accurate Pro quote

Tell us the storage capacity and color of the iPhone 18 Pro you actually own rather than selecting a configuration from an advertisement. Capacity is the total storage shown in Settings, not the amount of space remaining after your photos and apps. More storage or a particular finish does not guarantee a fixed premium; the condition and current resale demand still matter. If you are unsure about the configuration, ask the team how to identify it before requesting a price.

• Battery: report battery health, service messages and unexpected shutdowns.
• Body and display: mention chips, dents, cracked glass or touch problems, even if a case hides them.
• Service history: disclose replaced parts, previous liquid exposure and any unresolved repair.

The Pro camera system is part of the inspection

A clear camera lens is only the starting point. Before describing the phone as fully working, try the camera modes you normally use, focus on nearby and distant subjects, and check that a short video records both picture and sound. Tell us about shaking, focus issues, lens damage, microphone problems or a camera that intermittently stops working. These checks help you describe the device; our team still performs its own assessment before confirming an offer.

Recently bought your iPhone 18 Pro? Compare your options

If the phone is a recent purchase, check the original seller's return policy before choosing a resale offer. A valid return and a used-device buyback are different transactions. If a return is not available or does not suit your situation, compare a cash offer with any trade-in credit you are considering. Check remaining carrier installments, promotional bill credits and fees separately; selling a phone does not cancel your existing agreement.

Keep the sale separate from your personal information

You can discuss an initial quote without sending an Apple Account password, device passcode or a photo of your ID by text. Do not publish a full serial number or IMEI in a public listing. Before completing an accepted sale, back up your data, transfer your phone service and important verification accounts, and remove Find My yourself. A phone left on the setup screen can still have Activation Lock, so confirm the account removal rather than relying on an erase alone.
