Value for an Apple iPhone 16 Plus depends on condition, storage capacity, carrier lock status, and whether security settings like Find My iPhone are disabled. ecoATM gives an instant cash offer at the kiosk (and you can get a price estimate online first), and payments are available as cash, Venmo, or PayPal. Because offers are based on real-time market pricing and device condition, ecoATM's cash offers often beat carrier trade-in values, but exact amounts vary by device.

Start by getting an online quote on the ecoATM website, then prepare your Apple iPhone 16 Plus by backing it up and signing out of accounts. Next, find a nearby ecoATM kiosk (kiosks are located inside Walmart and other major retailers), connect the device so the machine can run a quick diagnostic, and review the offer the kiosk provides. You can accept the offer to get instant payment by cash, Venmo, or PayPal, or decline and keep your device.

Yes — ecoATM accepts broken Apple iPhone 16 Plus devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though condition will reduce the offer you receive. If the kiosk cannot make a cash offer for resale, ecoATM will recycle the device responsibly so it doesn't end up in a landfill. ecoATM evaluates every device and provides the best possible offer based on its condition.

Yes — ecoATM buys both carrier-locked and unlocked Apple iPhone 16 Plus models, but carrier-locked devices typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because they have more limited resale value. A carrier-locked device means it will only work on a specific carrier's network until unlocked, which affects resale options. ecoATM will still make a competitive offer based on that lock status and the device's overall condition.

Before you go to an ecoATM kiosk, back up your data, sign out of your Apple ID, and disable Find My iPhone so the device can be tested and reset. Remove your SIM card and then factory reset the device to erase personal information. These steps help ensure a smooth diagnostic at the kiosk and protect your data during the sale.

You should factory reset your Apple iPhone 16 Plus before selling to remove your personal data, and ecoATM recommends doing so as part of preparation. ecoATM also performs additional data wiping on devices before they're refurbished or resold, and the company advertises secure data handling and market-driven processing of devices. Devices are wiped to industry standards as part of ecoATM's resale and recycling workflow.

Devices in good condition are refurbished and resold, extending their useful life and keeping them out of landfills. Devices that can't be resold are recycled through ecoATM's partners so materials are recovered and hazardous components are handled responsibly. By reselling or recycling your Apple iPhone 16 Plus with ecoATM you help divert phones and tablets from landfills and reduce electronic waste.

The trade-in value of your Apple iPhone 16 Plus isn't fixed — it's based on factors like storage capacity, physical and functional condition, and whether the device is carrier-locked or unlocked. ecoATM gives you an instant cash offer at the kiosk (paid in cash or via Venmo/PayPal where available) rather than store credit, so you can see what your Apple iPhone 16 Plus is really worth before you commit. Start with an online estimate, then complete a quick on-site diagnostic at a kiosk to lock in your final trade-in value.
