Sell device to apple

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac

To prepare your Mac for a new owner, use these steps restore it to factory settings.

Should you use these steps?

If you’ve upgraded to macOS Monterey on a Mac with Apple silicon or a Mac with the Apple T2 Security Chip, follow the steps to erase all content and settings instead of the steps in this article.

For any other Mac or macOS, follow the steps below.

Back up or transfer your files

Use an external storage device to back up your files, or use Migration Assistant to move your files to your new Mac.

Sign out of iTunes

If using macOS Catalina or later, you can skip this step.

Open iTunes. From the menu bar at the top of the screen or iTunes window, choose Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize This Computer. Then enter your Apple ID and password and click Deauthorize. Learn more about deauthorizing.

Sign out of iCloud

If using macOS Catalina or later, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. Select Overview in the sidebar, then click Sign Out.

If using an earlier version of macOS, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click iCloud, then click Sign Out.

You will be asked whether to keep a copy of your iCloud data on this Mac. You can keep a copy, because you’re erasing your Mac later. Your iCloud data remains in iCloud and on any other devices that are signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID.

Sign out of iMessage

Open the Messages app, then choose Messages > Preferences from the menu bar. Click iMessage, then click Sign Out.

Reset NVRAM

If using a Mac with Apple silicon, you can skip this step.

Shut down your Mac, then turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Option, Command, P, and R. Release the keys after about 20 seconds. This clears user settings from memory and restores certain security features that might have been altered. Learn more about resetting NVRAM .

Optional: Unpair Bluetooth devices that you’re keeping

If your Mac is paired with a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, trackpad, or other device that you plan to keep, you can unpair it. This optional step prevents accidental input when the Mac and device have separate owners but remain in Bluetooth range. If you do this on a Mac that doesn’t have a built-in keyboard or trackpad, you will need to plug in a USB keyboard and mouse to complete the remaining steps.

To unpair a Bluetooth device, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth. Move your pointer over the device that you want to unpair, then click the remove (x) button next to the device name.

Erase your Mac and reinstall macOS

Follow the steps to erase your Mac and reinstall macOS. After macOS installation is complete, your Mac restarts to a setup assistant. To leave the Mac in an out-of-box state, press Command-Q to shut down instead of continuing setup.

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Use these steps to transfer information to your new device, then remove your personal information from your old device.

Before you sell, give away, or trade in your device, you should first transfer information to your new device, then remove your personal information from your old device.

You shouldn’t manually delete your contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photos, or any other iCloud information while you’re signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID. This would delete your content from the iCloud servers and any of your devices signed in to iCloud.

If you still have your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Follow these steps to transfer information to your new device, then remove your personal information from your old device.

Transfer information to your new device

If you have a new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use Quick Start to automatically transfer information from your old device to your new device if you’re using iOS 11 or later. Use iCloud, iTunes, or the Finder to transfer information to your new device if you’re using iOS 10 or earlier.

If your phone number will change with your new device, add additional trusted phone numbers to your account to ensure you don’t lose access. If you no longer have access to your old phone number, you can generate a two-factor authentication code on your old device if needed.

Remove your personal information from your old device

1. If you paired an Apple Watch with your iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch.
2. Back up your device.
3. Sign out of iCloud and the iTunes & App Store.
   • If you’re using iOS 10.3 or later, tap Settings > [your name]. Scroll down and tap Sign Out. Enter your Apple ID password and tap Turn Off.
   • If you’re using iOS 10.2 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out. Tap Sign Out again, then tap Delete from My [device] and enter your Apple ID password. Then go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > Sign Out.
4. If you’re switching to a non-Apple phone, deregister iMessage.
5. Go back to Settings and tap General > Transfer or Reset [device] > Erase All Content and Settings. If you turned on Find My [device], you might need to enter your Apple ID and password. If your device uses eSIM, choose the option to erase your device and the eSIM profile when asked.
6. If asked for your device passcode or Restrictions passcode, enter it. Then tap Erase [device].
7. Contact your carrier for help transferring service to a new owner. If you aren’t using a SIM card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
8. Remove your old device from your list of trusted devices.

When you erase your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, Find My [device] and Activation Lock are turned off.

If you no longer have your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If the steps above weren’t completed and you no longer have your device, use these steps:

1. Ask the new owner to erase all content and settings using the above steps.
2. If you’re using iCloud and Find My [device] on the device, sign in to iCloud.com/find or the Find My app on another device, select the device, and click Erase. After the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
3. If you can’t follow either of the above steps, change your Apple ID password. This won’t remove personal information that’s stored on your old device, but it prevents the new owner from deleting your information from iCloud.
4. If you’re switching to a non-Apple phone, deregister iMessage.
5. If you’re using Apple Pay, you can remove your credit or debit cards at iCloud.com. Choose Account Settings to see which devices are using Apple Pay, then click the device. Next to Apple Pay, click Remove.
6. Remove your old device from your list of trusted devices.

If you’re trading in an Android device to Apple

Before you send in an Android device to Apple as a trade-in, be sure to do the following:

• Back up your data.
• Erase the device.
• Remove any SIM cards, memory cards, cases, and screen protectors.

Contact your device’s manufacturer if you need help.

• Make a backup of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch or restore from a backup.
• Remove all of your cards from Apple Pay.
• Get help if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen.
• Learn about Activation Lock.
• No matter the model or condition, we can turn your device into something good for you and good for the planet. Learn how to trade in or recycle your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Apple Trade In.

When you tap Erase All Content and Settings, it completely erases your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services. Your content won’t be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.

Before selling your iPhone, there are a few easy steps you’ll need to take to make sure your personal data is wiped, and any iCloud security locks are removed.

Must-Do Steps before Selling:

1. Backup: On your phone or computer, Backup your data.
2. Sign Out: Remove your account and ‘Find My iPhone’ by signing out of iCloud.
3. Wipe: Remove your personal data by erasing all content and settings.
4. SIM Card:Remove your SIM card.

When this is done, your personal data is gone, and the device is ready for activation by the new owner — so you’ll get paid fast with no issues!

If you have an Apple Watch, you can unpair it using this guide.

How do I Ship My Old iPhone?

You’ll be happy to know, all shipping and returns to iPhone buyers are FREE.

When you sell your old iPhone to a buyback service featured on BankMyCell, the quote they offered will be locked for 14-30 days. This depends on the individual resale stores timescales — luckily for you, we list them all in the comparison table.

If you ship your Apple iPhone to one of the buyback companies within that time, you’re guaranteed to get your offer amount paid in full. If you miss the 14-30 day price lock window, then the buyer may reduce the offer slightly to match the current trade-in price of your iPhone.

It’s no surprise that resale values of your iPhone will drop over time, especially around the launch of newer models — so it’s in your best interest to send it sooner rather than later to maximize your payout.

What other Apple Products can I Trade-in?
