The value of your Apple iPhone SE (2020) depends on its condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and any active security settings like Find My. ecoATM gives instant cash offers at the kiosk (and you can get an estimate online beforehand), and because ecoATM pays cash rather than store credit it often compares favorably to carrier trade-in routes. Final offers are determined after an in-kiosk diagnostic and may vary by location and market demand.

Start by getting a price estimate on the ecoATM website, then prepare your device by removing accounts and personal info. Next, find a nearby ecoATM kiosk, connect your Apple iPhone SE (2020) for the on-screen diagnostic, and review the instant offer; you can accept the cash, Venmo, or PayPal payment or decline and keep your phone. The whole flow is designed to be quick — estimate, prepare, kiosk, diagnostic, accept or decline.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices with cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though condition affects the offer amount. If damage is severe and a cash offer isn't available, ecoATM will arrange responsible recycling so the device is handled and disposed of properly. Selling a broken phone at an ecoATM still helps recover value and keeps e-waste out of landfills.

You can sell a carrier-locked Apple iPhone SE (2020) to ecoATM — ecoATM buys both locked and unlocked devices — but locked phones typically receive lower offers than unlocked ones because carrier locks limit resale options. Carrier lock means the phone is restricted to a specific carrier until it's unlocked; ecoATM will still evaluate the device and make a competitive cash offer based on that status. If you prefer, unlocking the phone before selling may increase the amount you receive.

Back up your data, sign out of your Apple ID (or any Google/account services), and disable Find My / Factory Reset Protection before you visit an ecoATM kiosk. Remove your SIM card and then perform a factory reset so the device is wiped of personal information; ecoATM's kiosk process also asks you to confirm the device is ready for sale. Arriving with the device cleared and ready speeds up the sale and protects your data.

You should factory reset your Apple iPhone SE (2020) before selling to remove personal accounts and information, which ecoATM's guidance recommends. ecoATM also follows secure data handling practices and processes devices after purchase to prepare them for resale or recycling, including additional wiping steps performed by their device-handling operations. Taking the pre-sale steps (backup and reset) plus ecoATM's post-sale handling together reduces the risk that personal data remains on the device.

Devices in good condition are refurbished and resold to extend their useful life, while units that can't be resold are recycled responsibly through ecoATM's partners. That re-commerce and recycling process helps keep toxic materials out of landfills and gives devices a second life when possible. ecoATM's network processes millions of devices each year to recover value and reduce e-waste.

The trade-in value of your Apple iPhone SE (2020) 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 SE (2020) 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.
