The price for your Apple iPhone XS Max depends on its condition, storage size, carrier lock status, and any active security settings like Find My iPhone. ecoATM pays instant cash at kiosks and provides an on-screen offer after a quick diagnostic, and many sellers find ecoATM's cash offers are competitive with — and often beat — carrier trade-in values. You can choose to receive payment by cash, Venmo, or PayPal at the kiosk.

First get an online price estimate on the ecoATM website, then prepare your device (see prep steps below) and find a nearby kiosk inside Walmart or other major retailers. At the kiosk you'll connect the phone for a quick diagnostic, receive an instant offer, and then choose to accept or decline that offer. If you accept, ecoATM pays you immediately by cash, Venmo, or PayPal.

Yes — ecoATM accepts devices in any condition, including cracked screens, dents, faulty batteries, and other damage, though visible or functional issues will reduce the offer amount. If the kiosk cannot make a cash offer because a device has no resale value, ecoATM will recycle the device responsibly through its recycling partners. Selling a broken device at ecoATM helps divert e-waste from landfills while still giving you value when possible.

Yes — ecoATM buys both locked and unlocked devices, but carrier-locked phones typically receive a lower offer than unlocked ones because they are restricted to a single network. A carrier-locked phone means it's tied to one wireless provider and may need unlocking before use on another network. ecoATM will still evaluate and make a competitive offer for locked devices.

Before you go to a kiosk, back up your data and sign out of your Apple ID so the device no longer has an associated account. Disable Find My iPhone / Factory Reset Protection, remove your SIM card, and perform a factory reset so the device is clean for diagnostic and resale. ecoATM recommends these steps to ensure a smooth appraisal and to protect your personal information.

You should factory reset your Apple iPhone XS Max before selling to remove personal data, and ecoATM also performs additional data wiping on all devices before they are resold. ecoATM states it handles devices with secure data practices and wipes devices to industry standards to protect seller privacy. Taking the prep steps above plus ecoATM's wiping helps keep your data safe.

Devices that are in good working condition are refurbished and resold, extending their useful life, while devices that can't be resold are recycled through certified e-waste partners. ecoATM's process helps keep toxic materials out of landfills and reduces electronic waste by putting working devices back into circulation. Selling to ecoATM means your device will either be given a second life or recycled responsibly.

The trade-in value of your Apple iPhone XS Max 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 XS Max 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.
