Sell iPhone 11 in the UK: How Much Are iPhone 11, 11 Pro & Pro Max Worth in 2026?

Sell iPhone 11 in the UK: How Much Are iPhone 11, 11 Pro & Pro Max Worth in 2026?

Sell iPhone 11 in the UK: How Much Are iPhone 11, 11 Pro & Pro Max Worth in 2026?

You can still sell an iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max for money in the UK in 2026. The amount depends on the exact model, storage capacity, network status, battery health, screen and body condition, repair history and whether features such as Face ID, cameras and charging still work correctly.

There is also one important reason the iPhone 11 family remains relevant: Apple still includes the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max on its current iOS 27 compatibility list. Apple Support

That does not mean a seven-year-old iPhone is worth what it once was.

It does mean these phones have not yet fallen outside Apple's current major operating-system support, which helps preserve their usefulness for second-hand buyers.

If your old handset is already sitting unused, start by checking the exact device rather than assuming it is too old to sell.

Check your iPhone's current value on Sell My iPhone

Quick answer: Identify whether you have an iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, check the storage, Battery Health and physical condition, test Face ID, cameras and charging, remove your Apple Account and Find My, then erase the phone. If the handset is damaged or has weak battery health, check its as-is value before paying for a repair.

Is the iPhone 11 still worth selling in 2026?

Yes.

The iPhone 11 launched in 2019, so it is undoubtedly an older handset.

But old and worthless are not the same thing.

Apple still supports the entire iPhone 11 generation with iOS 27:

ModeliOS 27 support
iPhone 11Yes
iPhone 11 ProYes
iPhone 11 Pro MaxYes

Apple's current compatibility list starts with the iPhone 11 family, alongside the iPhone SE from the second generation onwards. Apple Support

That gives the iPhone 11 an unusual position in 2026.

It is old enough that many original owners have upgraded, yet current enough to remain within Apple's latest major iOS generation.

Software support helps preserve usefulness

A refurbished buyer may want an inexpensive iPhone for:

  • everyday calls and messaging;
  • banking and apps;
  • photographs;
  • FaceTime;
  • streaming;
  • a teenager;
  • a work or secondary handset.

For those buyers, an iPhone 11 may still be perfectly adequate.

That continuing usefulness is what creates resale demand.

How much is my iPhone 11 worth?

There is no single permanent iPhone 11 price.

A useful valuation needs the exact phone.

The main factors are:

FactorWhy it matters
ModeliPhone 11, Pro and Pro Max are different devices
StorageDifferent capacities have different resale demand
Battery healthWeak batteries can require replacement
ScreenCracks, scratches and display faults affect condition
Rear conditionBroken glass and heavy damage increase repair cost
Face IDA failure is a functional defect
CamerasEvery camera should operate correctly
ChargingWired and wireless charging should work
Previous repairsBattery/display history can matter
Apple Account statusActivation Lock must be dealt with
Market demandTrade-in prices change over time

Sell My iPhone says the amount it pays depends on the quality of the handset and battery performance. Its current FAQ specifically says batteries below 85% may result in a reduced quote to account for replacement. Sell My iPhone

So the useful answer is not:

“An iPhone 11 is worth £X.”

It is:

“What is my particular iPhone 11 worth today?”

Search for your exact device

How much is an iPhone 11 Pro worth?

The iPhone 11 Pro is a different product from the standard iPhone 11.

Apple sold the 11 Pro with:

  • 64GB;
  • 256GB;
  • 512GB.

It also uses a 5.8-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display rather than the LCD display fitted to the standard iPhone 11. Apple Support

That matters because your Search Console data already shows strong demand for queries such as:

sell my iPhone 11 Pro

and:

sell iPhone 11 Pro 256GB

Storage needs to be correct

A 64GB phone and a 256GB phone are not the same trade-in product.

Nor is a 512GB Pro interchangeable with either.

Before requesting a quote, open:

Settings → General → About

and confirm the capacity.

Sell My iPhone already has a guide specifically explaining why model and storage errors can cause unnecessary requotes. Sell My iPhone

How to check your iPhone model and storage before selling

How much is an iPhone 11 Pro Max worth?

The iPhone 11 Pro Max was the largest premium handset in the generation.

Apple sold it in:

  • 64GB;
  • 256GB;
  • 512GB.

It uses a 6.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, A13 Bionic chip and triple-camera system. Apple Support

For somebody shopping for a cheaper large-screen iPhone, those characteristics can still be attractive.

But “Pro Max” alone does not determine value

Compare two examples.

Phone A

  • 512GB;
  • clean screen;
  • cameras working;
  • Face ID working;
  • reasonable battery health.

Phone B

  • 512GB;
  • cracked OLED display;
  • weak battery;
  • Face ID fault;
  • charging problem.

Both are 512GB iPhone 11 Pro Max devices.

Their commercial condition is completely different.

That is why a live quote based on the actual handset is more useful than a generic “iPhone 11 Pro Max value” published months ago.

What storage does the standard iPhone 11 have?

Apple sold the standard iPhone 11 in:

This differs from the Pro range, which used 64GB, 256GB and 512GB.

That distinction can help identify mistakes.

If someone believes they have a 128GB iPhone 11 Pro, for example, they should double-check the device because Apple did not list 128GB as an iPhone 11 Pro capacity. Apple Support

Is an iPhone 11 Pro 256GB still worth selling?

Potentially, yes.

This exact configuration appears in your GSC data as a recurring search.

A 256GB Pro offers substantially more local storage than a 64GB handset, which can matter to second-hand buyers storing:

  • photographs;
  • video;
  • downloaded media;
  • large apps;
  • games.

But storage is still only one factor.

A heavily damaged 256GB Pro does not automatically outrank a clean 64GB device in every resale situation.

Check storage and condition.

Does iPhone 11 still support iOS 27?

Yes.

This is one of the strongest factual selling points for the generation in 2026.

Apple's official iOS 27 list includes:

Does iPhone 11 support every iOS 27 feature?

No.

Software-version compatibility and feature compatibility are now different things.

Apple's current iOS 27 information makes some newer Siri AI functionality dependent on newer iPhone hardware. Apple Support

That means an iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 without receiving every feature available to an iPhone 18 Pro.

This is important for SEO and for buyers because it answers both sides of the question accurately:

Yes, iPhone 11 still receives the current major iOS version.

No, it does not gain every feature available on newer hardware.

Sell My iPhone has a complete guide to the subject.

Which iPhones support iOS 27?

Does iPhone 11 battery health affect trade-in value?

Yes.

For a handset released in 2019, battery condition is particularly important.

Apple explains that rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan and that capacity declines as they chemically age. On the iPhone 11, you can inspect battery information under:

Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging Apple Support

What does Maximum Capacity mean?

It measures the battery's current capacity relative to when it was new.

So:

Battery charged to 100%

and:

Maximum Capacity 100%

are not the same thing.

An iPhone can be fully charged while retaining considerably less of its original battery capacity.

Apple designed these batteries around 500 cycles

Apple says batteries in iPhone 14 models and earlier are designed to retain around 80% of their original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles under ideal conditions. Apple Support

That does not guarantee every iPhone 11 will be at a particular percentage after 500 cycles.

Actual ageing varies with use and charging conditions.

What battery health does Sell My iPhone accept?

Sell My iPhone's current FAQ says:

batteries below 85% will require replacing and can result in a requote. Sell My iPhone

This is particularly relevant to iPhone 11 owners because many original batteries are now several years old.

Before requesting a final quote:

  1. Open Battery Health & Charging.
  2. Record Maximum Capacity.
  3. Check for any service warning.
  4. Use that information when deciding whether the phone's condition is realistic.

Sell My iPhone also has a detailed battery-health article.

How iPhone battery health affects resale value

Should I replace an iPhone 11 battery before selling it?

Not automatically.

Run the numbers first.

Suppose, for illustration only:

Value with weak battery: £100
Battery replacement: £90
Value after replacement: £150

Repairing gains £50 of value but costs £90.

You are £40 worse off purely for resale.

A better approach is:

  1. obtain an as-is value;
  2. check the battery-replacement cost;
  3. estimate the likely repaired value;
  4. repair only if the uplift exceeds the cost sufficiently.

The fact that a battery can be replaced does not mean it should be replaced before every sale.

What is iPhone 11 battery recalibration?

The iPhone 11 generation has an unusual battery-history point.

Apple introduced a recalibration process in iOS 14.5 for the battery-health reporting system on:

  • iPhone 11;
  • iPhone 11 Pro;
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max.

It was designed to address inaccurate estimates of Maximum Capacity and peak-performance capability on some devices. Apple Support

Most owners in 2026 should already be far beyond the software version that introduced this.

However, it is useful historical context when people search why an iPhone 11 battery-health figure changed or recalibrated.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 with a cracked screen?

Potentially.

Sell My iPhone says it accepts working and damaged devices. Sell My iPhone

A cracked screen therefore does not automatically mean:

£0.

But screen damage varies enormously.

Light damage and severe display failure are different

A phone might have:

  • cracked outer glass;
  • fully functioning touch;
  • normal display;
  • working Face ID.

Another could have:

  • OLED/LCD failure;
  • black sections;
  • touch dead zones;
  • vertical lines;
  • Face ID problems.

Both may be described casually as having a “broken screen”, but the repair economics are different.

Should I repair a cracked iPhone 11 before selling?

Again, check the damaged value first.

Sell My iPhone already has a specific guide explaining how screen, battery and other faults affect the sell-versus-repair decision.

How to price a broken iPhone before selling it

Use the same basic calculation:

working value − faulty value = maximum value created by the repair

If that difference is less than the repair bill, repairing only to sell does not make financial sense.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 with a replaced screen?

Potentially.

Previous repairs are not automatically a problem.

What matters is:

  • what was replaced;
  • how well it works;
  • whether the iPhone shows repair warnings;
  • the buyer's grading rules.

Sell My iPhone's own article on Apple's Unknown Part messages explains that iPhone 11 models can show Parts and Service History information relating to the battery and display. Sell My iPhone

Check:

Settings → General → About → Parts and Service History

where applicable.

What if my iPhone 11 says “Unknown Part”?

Do not immediately assume the phone is worthless.

Apple can display an Unknown Part message where it cannot verify a component normally.

Sell My iPhone's current guide explains that the warning can relate to several circumstances rather than proving automatically that a fake component was installed. Sell My iPhone

The practical approach is:

  • identify the affected component;
  • test it;
  • note the warning;
  • value the phone honestly.

What does “Unknown Part” mean before selling an iPhone?

Can I sell an iPhone 11 if Face ID does not work?

Potentially, but treat it as a fault.

Do not confuse the selfie camera with Face ID.

A front camera can take photographs while the TrueDepth system used for facial authentication has another problem.

Test it deliberately:

  1. Lock the iPhone.
  2. Wake it.
  3. Attempt Face ID authentication.
  4. Confirm that it actually unlocks.

If it fails consistently, that should form part of the condition assessment.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 with camera problems?

Potentially.

But test the cameras properly first.

Standard iPhone 11

The standard iPhone 11 has dual rear cameras. Apple

iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max

The Pro models use triple-camera systems with Wide, Ultra Wide and Telephoto cameras. Apple Support

That means opening the Camera app and taking one ordinary photograph is not a full camera test.

Try the available lenses and video modes.

A faulty telephoto camera can otherwise be missed on a Pro handset.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 that will not turn on?

Possibly.

A “dead iPhone” can mean several things:

  • failed battery;
  • charging fault;
  • display failure;
  • liquid damage;
  • board fault.

Those have very different repair costs.

Sell My iPhone says it buys working and damaged devices and can also recycle devices on customers' behalf even where there is no resale value. Sell My iPhone

So before throwing a dead phone away, check whether there is still a viable resale or repair route.

Should I recycle my iPhone 11?

Check whether you can sell it first.

This is especially worth targeting because your GSC data already shows meaningful demand for “recycle iPhone 11”.

Recycling makes sense when:

  • the device genuinely has no useful resale value;
  • repair is uneconomic;
  • the handset is too badly damaged for realistic reuse.

But if the phone still has resale or refurbishment value, another user may be able to continue using it.

Sell My iPhone says it accepts damaged devices and can also recycle equipment with no resale value. Sell My iPhone

That means the sensible order is:

check value → sell/reuse if viable → recycle at genuine end of life.

Is iPhone 11 still worth buying refurbished in 2026?

For some people, yes.

The strongest argument is current software compatibility.

Apple still lists all three iPhone 11 models as compatible with iOS 27. Apple Support

The standard iPhone 11 also provides:

  • 6.1-inch Liquid Retina display;
  • Face ID;
  • dual cameras;
  • wireless charging;
  • 64GB, 128GB or 256GB storage. Apple Support

The main trade-offs are obvious:

  • it is older hardware;
  • batteries may be heavily used;
  • it lacks some capabilities of recent iPhones;
  • it does not support all newer AI features.

So a refurbished iPhone 11 should be judged on price and condition, not simply its model name.

iPhone 11 vs iPhone 11 Pro for resale

The Pro originally sat above the standard phone in Apple's range.

It includes an OLED display and triple-camera system, while the standard 11 uses an LCD display and dual rear cameras. Apple Support

That can help preserve demand for a well-kept Pro.

But condition can overturn the hierarchy.

A badly damaged 11 Pro does not automatically beat a clean standard iPhone 11.

iPhone 11 Pro vs iPhone 11 Pro Max for resale

The main obvious distinction is size.

The iPhone 11 Pro uses a 5.8-inch display, while the Pro Max uses a 6.5-inch display. Apple Support

Both came in:

  • 64GB;
  • 256GB;
  • 512GB.

A buyer who specifically wants a large display may favour the Pro Max.

Someone who prefers a smaller premium handset may favour the Pro.

Neither size automatically produces the correct value without considering condition.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 without the box?

Usually, the missing box is much less important than the phone itself.

Focus on:

  • exact model;
  • storage;
  • battery;
  • physical condition;
  • functionality;
  • account removal.

The packaging does not change whether Face ID works or the display is cracked.

If you no longer have the original box, that should not automatically lead you to keep an unused phone indefinitely.

Can I sell an iPhone 11 still on contract?

Potentially, but check the finance first.

Your airtime contract and ownership of the physical phone are not necessarily the same thing.

If the handset is still financed, establish:

  • remaining balance;
  • whether you own it;
  • whether the agreement permits sale;
  • whether it needs settling first.

Sell My iPhone already has a dedicated guide to the issue.

Selling an iPhone still on contract in the UK

Can I sell an iCloud-locked iPhone 11?

An Activation-Locked handset creates a major obstacle to normal reuse.

If the phone is legitimately yours, remove your Apple Account correctly before selling it.

Apple's current guidance says sellers should transfer or back up their information, deal with paired Apple Watches where relevant, sign out and erase the old device. Erasing the device properly also turns off Find My and Activation Lock. Apple Support

Sell My iPhone has separate guidance for this process.

How to remove iCloud before selling your iPhone

What should I test before selling an iPhone 11?

Do a proper test before requesting the final valuation.

Check:

  • touchscreen across the whole display;
  • Face ID;
  • front camera;
  • every rear camera;
  • speakers;
  • microphone;
  • volume buttons;
  • side button;
  • mute switch;
  • Lightning charging;
  • wireless charging;
  • Wi-Fi;
  • Bluetooth;
  • mobile connectivity;
  • Battery Health.

Also check Parts and Service History where relevant.

That gives you a much stronger basis for choosing the condition honestly.

How should I prepare an iPhone 11 for sale?

Apple's current guidance says to back up and transfer your information before removing personal data from the old handset. It also recommends checking Parts and Service History for an unfinished repair before trade-in. Apple Support

1. Back up the phone

Make sure important:

  • photographs;
  • contacts;
  • messages;
  • documents;
  • authenticator information;

are safely transferred before erasing anything.

2. Set up your replacement first

If you have another phone, confirm that your important information actually arrived.

3. Unpair an Apple Watch

Do this if the Watch is still associated with the iPhone you are selling. Apple Support

4. Check Parts and Service History

Look for any Finish Repair message before trade-in. Apple says an unfinished repair needs completing before the device can be traded in through its process. Apple Support

5. Sign out and remove your personal information

Follow Apple's current instructions rather than simply deleting photographs and contacts manually.

Apple warns that manually deleting data while it remains synced to iCloud can delete it from iCloud and other connected devices too. Apple Support

6. Erase the phone

Use the normal Erase All Content and Settings process once everything important has been secured.

Apple says a proper erase disables Find My and Activation Lock. Apple Support

7. Photograph the handset

Take photographs before posting it.

Record:

  • front;
  • rear;
  • sides;
  • screen;
  • existing damage.

This gives you evidence of its condition before transit.

8. Package it properly

Protect the phone against movement and impact.

A badly packed phone can arrive in worse condition than when you requested the quote.

Should I sell my iPhone 11 now or keep it?

If you still use it and it meets your needs, keeping it can be the cheapest option.

It remains compatible with iOS 27. Apple Support

There is no rule saying you must upgrade simply because the phone is old.

The decision changes once you have replaced it.

If the iPhone 11 is already unused

Waiting usually gives you:

  • an older battery;
  • more competing second-hand phones;
  • another year of hardware age.

Sell My iPhone states that devices generally decline in value as they get older and suggests sending them sooner once you are ready to sell. Sell My iPhone

So an iPhone that has already spent six months in a drawer is worth checking now.

How long is a Sell My iPhone quote valid?

Sell My iPhone currently says quoted prices are guaranteed for 14 days, provided the device arrives within that period and matches the described grade and condition. Sell My iPhone

If it arrives later, the company says it will use the current market price.

Therefore, obtain your valuation when you are genuinely ready to send the handset.

What if I choose the wrong condition?

The device is inspected after arrival.

Sell My iPhone says it will contact the seller with an updated quote where its inspection finds a discrepancy between the submitted condition and the actual handset. Sell My iPhone

That makes deliberately choosing the best-looking grade counterproductive.

Describe the phone accurately from the beginning.

A practical example: iPhone 11 Pro 256GB

Imagine you have an:

iPhone 11 Pro 256GB

You stopped using it six months ago.

It has:

  • 82% Battery Health;
  • several small frame marks;
  • clean OLED display;
  • working Face ID;
  • working cameras.

The useful process is not:

“It's old, I'll recycle it.”

Instead:

  1. Confirm it really is 256GB.
  2. Record the 82% battery figure.
  3. Test Face ID and all three rear cameras.
  4. Check Parts and Service History.
  5. Obtain the current as-is valuation.
  6. Compare that against any battery-replacement cost.
  7. Sell or repair based on the numbers.

Because Sell My iPhone currently says batteries under 85% can lead to a reduced quote, this owner already knows the battery will be relevant to the final valuation. Sell My iPhone

Another example: iPhone 11 Pro Max with a cracked display

Suppose the handset is:

iPhone 11 Pro Max 512GB

The screen is cracked but:

  • phone powers on;
  • Face ID works;
  • cameras work;
  • battery is reasonable.

Do not assume the phone should be recycled.

Get a faulty/as-is value first.

Then obtain a screen-repair cost if you are considering fixing it.

Compare:

repaired value − damaged value

with:

repair cost

If repair costs more than the value it creates, selling damaged may be financially better.

Why this page can capture more than one search intent

People searching for an iPhone 11 are not all asking the same question.

Some type:

sell my iPhone 11

Others type:

sell my iPhone 11 Pro

or:

sell iPhone 11 Pro 256GB

Others have already assumed the phone is too old and search:

recycle iPhone 11

This page answers all of those intents in one place.

The commercial path is then straightforward:

identify → assess → value → prepare → sell

rather than sending every search intent to a generic homepage.

The key takeaway

The iPhone 11 family still has a genuine resale market in 2026.

Apple currently supports:

  • iPhone 11;
  • iPhone 11 Pro;
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max;

with iOS 27. Apple Support

But the exact value depends on the individual phone.

Check:

  • model;
  • storage;
  • battery health;
  • screen;
  • frame and rear;
  • Face ID;
  • cameras;
  • charging;
  • previous repairs;
  • Apple Account status.

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max came in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, while the standard iPhone 11 came in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. Apple Support

So do not just ask:

“How much is an iPhone 11 worth?”

Ask:

“How much is my exact iPhone 11, in its current condition, worth today?”

Check your iPhone's current value
