How to prepare your iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb to sell
Five quick steps before you post your iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb. Each one protects your data and lets us turn around your payment faster.
1. Back up your data
iCloud or Finder backup keeps your photos, contacts and messages safe so you can restore them on your next phone.
2. Sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My iPhone
Go to Settings → [your name] → Sign Out. Then Settings → [your name] → Find My → Find My iPhone, and switch it off. We can't process your trade-in until Activation Lock is removed.
3. Remove your SIM card and any cases
We don't need the SIM, charger or accessories — keep them for your next device. Your trade-in price is for the iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb alone.
4. Factory reset the device
Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings. This wipes your data so the next owner starts fresh.
5. Pop it in your free Enviropack
We post you a sturdy padded envelope with a prepaid Royal Mail tracked label. Drop it at any post box or Post Office and we'll handle the rest.
What condition is my iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb in?
Use this guide to grade your iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb accurately. Honest grading means you get the price we quote with no last-minute deductions.
Excellent
Powers on, fully functional, no cracks or chips, screen and back glass free of scratches, casing in near-perfect condition. The original or close-to-original look.
Fair
Powers on and fully functional, with everyday wear: light scratches on the screen or casing, minor scuffs or marks. No cracks or screen damage.
Faulty
Anything else: cracked screen or back, water damage, faulty battery, won't power on. We still pay a fair price — select Faulty above.
Why selling your iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb helps the planet
Every iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb that gets refurbished and resold instead of going to landfill saves tens of kilograms of CO₂-equivalent emissions and keeps valuable rare-earth metals in circulation. Smartphones contain gold, silver, copper, lithium and cobalt — materials with a real environmental cost to mine fresh.
Envirofone has been part of the UK's circular-electronics movement since 2005. Every device we buy is tested, refurbished and given a second life with a new owner — or, if it's beyond repair, recycled responsibly so the materials don't end up in a landfill.
