The fastest way to sell your iPhone online in Canada is to get a real price for your exact model, storage and condition first, lock that price, and then choose how to hand the phone over. At JustSell, an iPhone 17 Pro Max pays $910–$1,760, an iPhone 16 pays $460–$790, and an iPhone 15 pays $290–$630, depending on storage and condition. You see the offer in about 30 seconds, before you give any contact details, your locked price holds for 7 days, shipping is free anywhere in Canada with a free return if you change your mind, and you are paid the same day the sale completes — cash at a local meetup or by Interac e-Transfer.
That order matters: price first, paperwork second. If a site asks for your name, phone number or shipping address before it will tell you what your phone is worth, you are not really shopping for a price — you are handing over your details and hoping. Selling online should work the other way around.
What your iPhone is actually worth online
These are the prices in our current price book, in Canadian dollars, for the phones Canadians ask about most. Each range runs from the lowest flow price — the smaller storage size in Fair condition — to the highest, which is the largest storage size still sealed. Cracked-screen prices are not included here, because the quote flow does not pay those cells as standard conditions.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: $910–$1,760. At 256GB, it pays $910 in Fair condition, $1,010 in Good condition, $1,110 in Like New condition and $1,310 sealed. At 512GB, Like New pays $1,210; at 1TB, Like New pays $1,310; and at 2TB, Like New pays $1,410 and sealed pays $1,760.
- iPhone 17: $610–$910. At 256GB, it pays $610 in Fair condition, $690 in Good condition, $760 in Like New condition and $870 sealed. At 512GB, Like New pays $810 and sealed pays $910.
- iPhone 16: $460–$790. At 128GB, it pays $460 in Fair condition, $510 in Good condition, $570 in Like New condition and $710 sealed. At 256GB, Like New pays $610, and the 512GB sealed price is $790, the top of this model's range.
- iPhone 15: $290–$630. At 128GB, it pays $290 in Fair condition, $340 in Good condition, $390 in Like New condition and $510 sealed. At 256GB, Like New pays $420, and the 512GB sealed price is $630.
- iPhone 14: $170–$510. At 128GB, it pays $170 in Fair condition, $210 in Good condition, $290 in Like New condition and $410 sealed. At 256GB, Like New pays $310, and the 512GB sealed price is $510.
You can check your exact model on our iPhone 17 Pro Max page or browse every iPhone we buy. Two things set your number inside the range. The first is storage: more storage pays more at every condition level. The second is honest condition. Sealed means unopened in its original packaging. Like New means flawless, with no visible wear and battery health over 90%. Good means light scratches from daily use, no cracks, and battery health of 85% or more. Fair means visible wear, but the phone still works as it should. Grade it as it is, and your locked price is the price that holds.
One more requirement is simple and non-negotiable: your phone must be unlocked. JustSell does not buy locked phones. If you bought your iPhone through a carrier, check Settings, then General, then About, and look for the carrier lock line. If it says no SIM restrictions, you are ready. If it is still locked, contact your carrier about unlocking it before you get a quote.
Why “sell iphone online” is spiking right now
Searches for “sell iphone online” rose 170% in the Google Trends data we reviewed on November 5 — the kind of jump that happens when a lot of people reach the same decision in the same few weeks. The reasons are familiar to anyone in Ontario this fall. New models have landed, so last year's phone suddenly has a job to do: pay for part of the upgrade. Holiday spending is coming, so a phone sitting in a drawer starts to look like money that should be working instead. And more sellers have simply had enough of the other route.
That other route is the marketplace week. You take photos, write a listing, answer “is this still available?” messages from people who then disappear, field low offers, arrange a meeting, and sometimes wait for someone who never shows up. Selling online skips that whole sequence. There is no listing to write, no stranger to negotiate with, and no meeting just to find out whether a buyer was serious. You get a price, you decide whether it works for you, and if it does not, you walk away — with free return shipping if you had already sent the phone.
There is also a timing reason not to wait. Phones do not gain value in a drawer. Every month a working iPhone sits unused, its battery has cycled a little further and a newer model is a little closer. The phone you can sell today is worth the most today.
How to sell your iPhone online, step by step
Step one: get your quote. Pick your model, storage and condition, tell us whether it is unlocked, and — on 2024-and-newer models — pick your battery health band. You will see your offer right away, in about 30 seconds, before name or phone number are requested to lock it in. Percentages are all you need for the battery step; check yours under Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health.
Step two: lock your price for 7 days. Locking holds today's number for a full week. That week is your breathing room to back up your photos, sign out properly, find the cable, and decide on your handover. The market can move in the meantime; your locked price does not.
Step three: prepare the phone. Back up everything you want to keep, sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My, sign out of your other accounts, and then erase the phone. Our Data Wipe, Documented process adds a factory reset, technician verification and an emailed certificate once the phone reaches us, so your data is handled properly on our side too. Do the sign-out yourself before it leaves your hands — a phone still locked to your Apple Account cannot be set up by its next owner.
Step four: hand it over your way. You have three choices. Meet us locally at a GO Transit station in any of our 9 Ontario cities — Toronto is our home base, along with Oshawa, Scarborough, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Peterborough; if you are in Toronto, there are 12 GO stations to choose from. Arrange a free door-to-door pickup. Or ship it free from anywhere in Canada — and if you change your mind after sending it, the return shipping is free too.
Step five: get paid the same day. Once the phone has been checked and matches its description, payment is the same day: cash at an in-person meetup, or an Interac e-Transfer for pickup and shipped sales. No gift cards, no store credit, no bill credit, and no waiting period. We back our Ontario's highest payouts claim with a Price-Beat Promise: if you have a legitimate written Canadian quote for the same device, we will beat it. Over $2 million has been paid out to sellers through JustSell.
Online cash, trade-in credit, or marketplace?
It helps to be clear about what each route actually gives you, because the headline numbers are not measuring the same thing. Trade-in credit can look generous, but it is credit — it spends only at one store, on a new device, on their timeline. That is fine if you were buying that exact device anyway, and restrictive if you were not. Marketplace can sometimes reach a higher asking price, but asking is not receiving: you pay for that difference with your time, your messages, your evenings, and the risk of a no-show or a payment problem.
Selling online to a buyback service pays cash you can use anywhere, on a price you saw before you committed, with the handover on your terms. For a fuller, honest comparison of all three routes, read our guide to where to sell your phone in Canada. The short version is this: if you want the upgrade discount and nothing else, credit may suit you; if you want the highest possible asking price and have the patience to earn it, marketplace is there; if you want a real cash price today, with no listings and no strangers, selling online is the route built for that.
Whichever route you choose, do not let a working phone drift into becoming an old phone. Check its price while the model, storage and battery still support a strong number. Checking costs about 30 seconds and commits you to nothing — your quote is only locked when you choose to lock it.

Can I sell a locked iPhone online?
Not to JustSell — we do not buy locked phones, and your phone must be unlocked. Check Settings, then General, then About: if the carrier lock line says no SIM restrictions, you are unlocked. If it is still locked, ask your carrier about unlocking it first, then get your quote.
What happens if I change my mind after shipping my iPhone?
If you shipped your phone free from anywhere in Canada and then change your mind, the return shipping is free too. You are not trapped by sending it. Your locked price also holds for 7 days, so you have time to prepare the phone and decide without rushing.
How and when do I get paid?
The same day the sale completes, once your phone has been checked and matches its description. You are paid in cash at a local GO-station meetup, or by Interac e-Transfer if you chose free door-to-door pickup or free Canada-wide shipping. There are no gift cards and no store credit.
What should I do before I sell my iPhone online?
Back up everything you want to keep, check your battery health under Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My, sign out of your other accounts, and erase the phone. JustSell's Data Wipe, Documented process then adds a factory reset, technician verification and an emailed certificate.
