Sell Your iPhone for Cash in Los Angeles — Same-Day Payment in Hollywood
You are holding an iPhone you no longer use. Apple will give you store credit. Your carrier will give you a bill credit spread over 24 months. A stranger on Craigslist wants to meet in a parking lot.
We give you cash, across the counter, in Hollywood, the same day you walk in.
MacPro-LA has been buying Apple devices in Los Angeles since 2010. Fifteen years, one storefront at 1947 N. Cahuenga Blvd #104, and a 4.7 rating from over 600 Google reviews. We buy iPhones the same way we buy Macs: you bring it in, a Certified Apple Technician checks it while you wait, and you leave with cash.

Three ways to sell your iPhone to us in Los Angeles
1. Walk in to our Hollywood store. We are at 1947 N. Cahuenga Blvd #104, Hollywood, CA 90068. Open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm. No appointment. We inspect your iPhone in front of you and pay you on the spot. Most people are in and out inside twenty minutes.
2. Free insured shipping. Not near Hollywood? We send you a prepaid FedEx label at no cost. Drop the box at any FedEx location. We inspect it the day it lands and pay you the same day.
3. Local pickup for larger lots. Selling several devices, or upgrading a whole office? We will come to you anywhere in Los Angeles County.

What gets you the best price for an iPhone
Four things move the number more than anything else.
Unlocked beats carrier-locked. An unlocked iPhone sells to a wider market, so it is worth more to us and we pass that on.
Battery health above 85%. Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health & Charging. If it reads above 85% you are in good shape. Below 80% we will still buy it, the offer just reflects a replacement.
Screen and back glass condition. Cracked glass does not disqualify your iPhone. We buy cracked iPhones. It simply changes the number, and we will tell you by how much before you commit.
Box and accessories help, but are not required. No box is fine. Most people lost it years ago.
Find My iPhone must be off. This one is not optional. Settings, your name, Find My, Find My iPhone, off. An iPhone with activation lock still on cannot be resold by anyone, so we cannot buy it until it is cleared.
Los Angeles sellers always ask: is your offer better than Apple Trade In?
Usually, and here is the honest reason why.
Apple Trade In gives you credit, not money. That credit only works at Apple, and only if you are buying something from Apple right now. Your carrier does the same thing in a slower way, crediting your bill over twenty-four months, which means you are locked in for two years to collect all of it.
We give you cash. You can spend it anywhere, on anything, today.
We are also not going to pretend we beat every offer every time. If somebody has genuinely quoted you more, show us. We price match, and if we cannot beat it we will tell you straight rather than waste your afternoon.
Which iPhones we buy
We buy every iPhone from the iPhone 11 forward, in any condition short of non-working. That includes:
- iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max
- iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE, second and third generation
Unlocked or carrier-locked, any storage size, any colour. Cracked screens accepted.
One thing we do not buy: devices that do not power on or hold a charge. If your iPhone is genuinely dead, we are not the right buyer and we would rather tell you now than have you drive across town.
What happens to your iPhone after you sell it
This matters more than most people expect, because it is about your data.
Every device we buy is fully wiped using Apple's own erase process before it goes anywhere. Not a factory reset from the settings menu, a proper erase. Your photos, messages, accounts and payment cards are gone before your iPhone leaves our bench.
After that it is inspected, graded, and repaired where needed by our Certified Apple Technicians. Nothing goes in a landfill.
Sell your other Apple gear too
Most people who bring us an iPhone have something else in a drawer.
We buy MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Studio and Mac Pro, iPads, Apple Watch and AirPods. Bring it all in one trip and we will quote the lot together at sellmacsforcash.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my iPhone worth in Los Angeles?
It depends on model, storage, battery health, unlock status and cosmetic condition. A recent Pro Max in good order can be several hundred dollars; an older base model will be less. The fastest honest answer is a free quote, which takes about a minute.
How fast do I get paid?
Walk into the Hollywood store and you are paid the same visit, usually within twenty minutes. Mail it in and we pay the same day your box arrives and passes inspection.
Do you buy cracked or damaged iPhones?
Yes. Cracked screens, scratched backs, worn batteries, all fine. The only thing we cannot buy is an iPhone that will not power on.
Do I need to erase my iPhone before I sell it?
Please turn off Find My iPhone before you come in, because we cannot buy a device with activation lock enabled. You do not need to wipe it yourself beyond that, we erase every device properly regardless.
Do you buy carrier-locked iPhones?
Yes, from any US carrier. Unlocked devices are worth more, but locked ones still have real value and we will quote them.
Can I sell more than one iPhone at a time?
Yes, and there is no limit. If you have several devices, or you are clearing out a business, call us on (323) 378-5603 and we will arrange a pickup.
