If you have moved on to a newer phone, bring yours to our store in Round Rock, Bastrop, or South Austin, get an offer on the spot, and get paid before you leave — no kiosk, no shipping it away, no waiting.

We buy all storage sizes — in every condition

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max never came in a 128GB version — it starts at 256GB and goes up to 512GB and 1TB. We buy all three storage sizes, unlocked and carrier locked, because lock status changes what this model is worth. The lists below start with the 256GB phone most people own: unlocked first, then carrier locked. Your exact offer depends on model, storage, and condition — in store.

How offers work: both lists above are for the 256GB Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max — unlocked first, then carrier locked. Bring your phone in and you’ll get your exact offer on the spot, based on your storage size, lock status, and condition. If you don’t like the offer, you take your phone home — no obligation.

Which grade is your Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max?

On an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max, condition comes down to five things in particular: that big 6.9-inch screen, the battery health percentage, Face ID, the rear cameras, and the titanium frame. Here’s how the grades break down for this phone — be honest with yourself and you’ll land close to the right grade before you even walk in.

Sealed / New Open

Still sealed in its factory packaging, or opened but never set up or used. A sealed 256GB unlocked Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max sits at the very top of the grades.

Grade A+

Looks like it just came out of the box: the 6.9-inch screen is flawless, the titanium edges are clean, Face ID unlocks first try, all three rear cameras are clear, and battery health is still strong.

Grade B+ / B

Light everyday wear from months in a pocket or bag: faint scratches on the screen, small scuffs along the titanium frame, battery health showing normal wear — and everything still works as it should, including Face ID, the cameras, and the Camera Control button.

Grade C

Heavier wear — deeper scratches or dents in the titanium, or a crack across that large screen or the back glass — but the phone still powers on and works.

Grade D

Rough shape: several problems adding up at once — say a cracked screen plus a scuffed frame or a camera problem — but it still powers on. Still worth real money.

DOA

Won’t power on at all — black screen, no Apple logo, nothing. Don’t throw it away — a dead 256GB unlocked Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is still worth bringing in.

Carrier locked

Still tied to AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or another carrier — common on an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max bought on a monthly phone plan. We buy those too, for less than unlocked.

Not sure?

Two quick checks before you come in can help: Settings, then General, then About shows your storage size, and Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health shows your maximum capacity. Or skip both — bring it in and get an exact offer on the spot, then accept it or take your phone home.

What lowers an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max offer: a crack in the back glass or in one of the raised rear camera lenses, a main or 5x zoom camera that isn’t working right, or Face ID that won’t unlock — each one brings the offer down. Low battery health can too — the maximum capacity percentage your phone shows in Settings — as can heavy scuffing or dents on the titanium frame. We don’t guess at deductions online — your exact offer is worked out on your actual phone, in store, in about 10–15 minutes.

How selling your Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max works

Three steps, all in person — and for this phone, your offer comes down to three things: storage size, lock status, and condition. Most people are in and out in 10–15 minutes.

Step 1 — Walk in

Bring your phone in

Come into Round Rock, Bastrop, or South Austin — no appointment, no account, no form first. Back up your photos and messages to iCloud or a computer before you come, especially if yours is a 512GB or 1TB model you have been filling up.

Step 2 — Get your offer

Get your offer on the spot

We make you a clear offer on the spot for your exact Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max — 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB, unlocked or carrier locked, in its actual condition. Accept or decline — there’s no pressure either way.

Step 3 — Paid on the spot

Paid before you leave

Accept, and you’re paid cash, Zelle, or Cash App — your choice. Your Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is then wiped clean before resale at no charge, so your photos, messages, and Apple account don’t go with it.

What to bring

Keep it simple — the phone itself is the main thing.

  • Your Apple iPhone 16 Pro MaxCharged if you can, so we can see the screen light up — but bring it even if it won’t turn on.
  • The USB-C cable, if you have itThis model charges over USB-C, not the older Lightning cable. Not required, but complete sets can help your offer.
  • The box and any accessoriesThe original box helps most on a sealed or barely used phone — it confirms your storage size and titanium color. Extra cases or an unused cable? Bring what you’ve got.
  • Your ecoATM or other offer, if you have oneA screenshot or printout is fine — showing us a lower offer helps you, not us.

What we can’t buy

There’s a short list of things we have to turn down.

  • Stolen devicesIf it isn’t yours to sell, we can’t take it.
  • iCloud-locked phonesAn Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max still signed into an Apple account with Find My on stays locked to that account. If it’s your phone, sign out of iCloud and turn Find My off before you come.
  • Password-locked phonesIf the phone can’t be opened by its owner with its passcode or Face ID, we can’t buy it.
  • Broken TVsWe don’t take TVs with cracked or damaged screens.

About the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is the largest phone in the Apple iPhone 16 line — a 6.9-inch screen in a titanium body, with the A18 Pro chip, a 5x telephoto camera, and the Camera Control button Apple added on this generation. Those flagship specs are exactly why it holds its value. If yours is sitting in a drawer after an upgrade, it’s worth more as cash than as a backup.

Display6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion — the biggest screen in the Apple iPhone 16 line
BuildTitanium frame — Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium
ChipApple A18 Pro
Cameras48MP main and 48MP ultra-wide, 12MP 5x telephoto zoom

Not sure yours is really the Max? Open Settings, then General, then About — the model name at the top settles it. If yours turns out to be the smaller 6.3-inch Apple iPhone 16 Pro, the standard Apple iPhone 16, the Apple iPhone 16 Plus, or an older Apple iPhone Pro Max generation, we buy those too — they just have their own prices. We also buy Samsung and Google phones. See the Sell Phones page or just bring it in.

Sell Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max — questions

The questions Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max owners ask before they sell theirs.

It depends first on storage — 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB — and on condition and lock status, unlocked or carrier locked. Your exact offer depends on model, storage, and condition — in store. Bring it in and get your offer on the spot.
Most Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max sales take 10–15 minutes. Walk in, get your offer on the spot, and get paid cash, Zelle, or Cash App before you leave. No appointment needed.
Yes. We buy carrier-locked Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max phones too. Carrier locked pays less than unlocked, but it’s still real money. Not sure which yours is? In Settings, then General, then About, the Carrier Lock line reads “No SIM restrictions” on an unlocked phone.
Very likely, yes. On this model, a cracked 6.9-inch screen usually lands around Grade C. A cracked back glass or one of the rear camera lenses, a camera that isn’t focusing right, Face ID not working, or deep damage to the titanium frame will lower the offer further — and even an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max that won’t power on at all can still be worth bringing in. Bring it in for your exact offer.
Yes — the storage is built into the phone and can’t be added later, so bigger Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max phones pay more. We buy all storage sizes — 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. You can check yours in Settings, then General, then About, under Capacity.
Yes, by a lot. A sealed 256GB unlocked Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max is worth more than an opened-but-unused one (New Open), which is worth more than a used one in top Grade A+ condition. If yours is still sealed, leave the seal on — it’s part of what you’re selling.
It can. Your phone reports its own battery health: Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health, under Maximum Capacity. A higher percentage supports a higher grade; a battery that has worn down a lot can bring the offer down. It’s one part of condition on this model, alongside the screen, Face ID, the cameras, and the titanium frame.
Yes — sellers need to be 18 or older and show a valid photo ID when they sell a device. It only takes a moment in store.
Every Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max we buy is wiped clean before resale, at no charge, so your photos, messages, and accounts are removed before it changes hands. Back up first over iCloud or by USB-C to a computer — a full 512GB or 1TB phone can take a while to copy — then sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My. Once it’s wiped, that data can’t be recovered.
Your choice: cash, Zelle, or Cash App — paid on the spot, before you leave the store. No gift cards, no bill credit, no waiting for a transfer to clear days later.
Then you take your phone home. Getting an offer is free, with no obligation and no pressure — the phone only changes hands if you say yes.
