Do you buy Android phones, or only iPhones?

Only iPhones. SellYourMac.ae is an Apple buy-back desk, so Samsung, Google, Huawei, OnePlus and Xiaomi phones are not bought and the desk will say so straight away rather than waste your time. If your phone is any iPhone from the SE onward, WhatsApp the model, storage and condition and a written quote comes back the same day.

How do I sell my phone in the UAE without visiting a shop?

Message the model, storage, condition and your emirate on WhatsApp. You receive a written quote, accept it, and pick a collection window. A courier with company ID comes to your home or office anywhere in the UAE, checks the iPhone in front of you and pays before leaving. No shop, no parking, no queue.

Is there a minimum age or model for the phone I sell?

No minimum. Every iPhone from the first SE and the iPhone 11 up to the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo gets a written figure, and older models are quoted at an adjusted rate rather than refused. The only phones the desk does not buy are Android handsets, because it only refurbishes and resells Apple devices.

Can I sell my phone from Ajman, Fujairah or Umm Al Quwain?

Yes. Free doorstep pickup covers all 7 emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. The courier collects from any address, including villas, offices, labour camps and hotel receptions, and pays by bank transfer or cash at the door. Northern Emirates pickups are booked into the next available route.

What details do I need to send to sell my phone?

Four things: the model, the storage size, the battery health figure from Settings and an honest note on the screen and back. A photo of the front with the screen on helps but is optional. With those details the desk can write a figure that will not move at the door, which is the whole point of quoting first.

Will I be paid in cash or by bank transfer when I sell my phone?

Your choice. Same-day UAE bank transfer is the default once the courier has verified the iPhone against the quote, and it works with every UAE bank. If you prefer notes in hand, say so when you book and the courier brings cash to the door. Either way you are paid before the courier leaves with the phone.

My iPhone has a cracked back and a tired battery. Can I still sell it?

Yes. A cracked back, a low battery health figure, a scratched screen or a camera that will not focus each become a written deduction, not a refusal. The quote already includes them, so nothing changes when the courier arrives. Phones that will not power on are still bought for their parts value. Send photos on WhatsApp for an exact figure.

Is it safe to sell my phone to a courier at my door?

Yes. The courier carries SellYourMac.ae company ID, arrives in the window you chose, and inspects the phone while you watch. The figure was written on WhatsApp before anyone travelled, so there is no doorstep renegotiation, and payment lands before the phone leaves your hand. The desk operates from a licensed Dubai Media City office you can visit.

What should I do on the phone before I sell it?

Back up to iCloud or a Mac, then sign out of iCloud in Settings, turn off Find My and remove the SIM or eSIM. Keep the box and cable if you have them. If you forget a step, the courier walks you through it at the door. The desk then runs a full erase and clears Activation Lock before the phone is resold.

Can I sell two or three phones from the family in one visit?

Yes. Each iPhone is priced as its own line in the same written quote, so you can see exactly what each phone adds before you accept. One courier collects all of them in one visit and one bank transfer or one cash payment covers the lot. Five or more phones route through the bulk desk with a corporate invoice.

Where can I sell my phone in the UAE for cash?

For an iPhone, the simplest route is a buy-back desk that comes to you. SellYourMac.ae writes the figure on WhatsApp first, sends a courier to any address in the 7 emirates at no charge and pays cash or bank transfer at the door. Phone-shop chains and marketplaces require you to travel and usually decide the figure after they have the phone.

How much can I sell my phone for in Dubai?

It depends on the model, storage, battery health and cosmetic grade, and the figure moves week to week with the used market. The desk does not publish a price list because a written quote for your exact phone is more accurate than a table. WhatsApp the details and the reply holds for 1-5 days while you compare.

Is it better to sell my phone to a shop or online in the UAE?

A shop decides the figure at the counter and pays you there; a marketplace listing means messages, no-shows and meeting strangers. A doorstep buy-back combines the safe parts of both: a figure in writing before you commit, a courier who travels to you, and payment at the door. For an iPhone that is the route with the fewest surprises.

Can I sell my phone the same day in Abu Dhabi or Sharjah?

Often, yes. Same-day collection runs in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman when you message before mid-afternoon and the quote is accepted quickly. Later messages are booked for the next available window. The courier still checks the iPhone in front of you and pays at the door, so a same-day sale is no different from a scheduled one.

Why sell to us

What is SellYourMac.ae?

SellYourMac.ae is a UAE-licensed Apple buy-back desk run by Azizi Technologies from Concord Tower, Dubai Media City, trading since 2013. It buys iPhones from private sellers in every emirate with a written WhatsApp quote, free doorstep collection and payment at the door. 67 verified Google reviews sit on its Business Profile.

Honest about what is bought

iPhone only. If you message about an Android phone the desk says no immediately, so you can move on. Every iPhone from the SE onward gets a figure.

Figure in writing before anyone travels

The WhatsApp quote is the price paid if the phone matches its description. No counter, no walk-in offer that shrinks once the phone is on the desk.

Collected from any of the 7 emirates

A courier with company ID comes to your home, office or hotel at no charge, from Dubai Marina to Fujairah city, in a window you choose.

Paid at the door, not later

Same-day UAE bank transfer or cash on collection, sent or counted before the courier leaves. You never hand over a phone and wait.

How it works

Five steps for your iPhone. Most sellers go from first WhatsApp message to cash in hand in under 6 hours in Dubai, under 24 hours elsewhere in the UAE.

WhatsApp the specs

Message +971 58 195 9614 on WhatsApp with your iPhone model, storage, condition and UAE area. Photos help but are optional.

Receive the AED quote

Written quote on WhatsApp, valid 1-5 days. The desk explains how the number was built so there are no surprises on collection.

Free doorstep pickup

Pick a time window. An insured courier collects from any UAE address: home, office, hotel, or Dubai International Airport short-stay.

Inspection and data wipe

On-the-spot check against the WhatsApp quote. If it matches, we run a certified data wipe and prepare payment. A wipe note is available on request.

Same-day payment

UAE bank transfer (Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq, Liv) or cash on collection. Confirmed before the courier leaves.

What we check

Six details set the figure for an iPhone. Send them on WhatsApp and the written quote will not need a second round.

iPhone only, every generation from SE onward

iPhone Duo, 18 Pro, 17, Air, 17e, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 and every SE. Android handsets are not bought. The generation sets the band the rest of the offer moves inside.

SE to Duoall iPhone generations

Storage tier from Settings, not the box

128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB. Read it from Settings, General, About, because the box can belong to a different phone. Higher tiers lift the figure step by step.

128GB to 1TBpriced per tier

Battery health figure and cycle count

Settings, Battery, Battery Health shows the number. A strong figure protects the quote; a worn battery is a written deduction, not a reason to refuse the phone.

Written inbefore pickup

Glass, back panel and camera lenses

Excellent, Good, Fair or Damaged, judged on the screen, the back glass and the lens covers. Say what is cracked and the deduction goes into the quote up front.

4 gradescondition scale

Find My off and IMEI clean

The phone must be signed out of iCloud with Find My off before payment, and the IMEI is checked against blacklist and finance records. The courier helps at the door.

Pre-pickupno extra fee

Your emirate and a pickup window

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman run same-day routes; RAK, Fujairah and UAQ are booked into the next route. Give a two-hour window and the courier keeps it.
