Carrier lock
A locked phone gets a lower offer than an unlocked one. We unlock phones here — if yours is paid off, ask us to do it before you sell and we can pay you the unlocked price instead.

Four questions,
one real number.
We price your exact phone rather than publishing a range that would be wrong for most people. It takes about a minute and costs nothing to find out.

01
Tell us which iPhone 17 Air
Storage size and whether it is carrier-locked. Both are in Settings › General › About if you are not sure.

02
Describe the condition
Honestly — it is faster for both of us. If it matches when we see it, the number does not move.

Walk in or ship free
Paid the same visit at 15300 Livernois — or we send a prepaid label and pay when it lands.
Cracked screen or back glass? We still buy it — a crack changes the number, it does not end the conversation. That one we price in person, because the damage varies far too much to quote sight-unseen. Call (313) 340-9621 or bring it in.
Before you sell
What moves the number
What moves the number
on this model.
The thin one, and the model where your carrier lock matters more than on any other iPhone we buy — the gap between an unlocked Air and a locked one is the widest on our entire price sheet. Check your lock status before you come in; it is worth more than the storage tier here.
Storage size
Check yours in Settings › General › About before you start. Guessing the wrong tier is the most common way people short themselves.
Condition
Frame straightness. There is very little metal in this phone, so it takes a set more easily than the others. Any flex, or a screen edge that has started to lift, changes the grade.
Cracked screen or back glass?
We still buy it — a crack changes the number, it does not end the conversation. We price damage in person rather than online because it varies far too much to quote sight-unseen, and we would rather give you a real figure than a lowball we hedge with. Call (313) 340-9621 or bring it in.
How you get paid

Not certain it is a iPhone 17 Air? Check your IMEI free — it takes a second and tells you the exact model.
Before you come in: back up the phone, turn the passcode off, and sign out of iCloud and Find My (Settings › your name › Sign Out). We check the IMEI is clean, and we cannot buy a phone with Activation Lock still on.
