The Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max launched in 2019 as Apple's largest and most capable phone of that generation, built for buyers who wanted the biggest screen, the longest battery life, and a triple camera system in one body. In the US it shipped under model number A2161 across AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and unlocked configurations. Six years on, it still holds resale value because the A13 Bionic chip remains fast enough for daily use, the OLED display has aged well, and Apple's long software support window keeps it usable and sellable long after newer models arrive. Pick your storage tier and condition above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. If you have more than one device to move, you can also sell your iPhone in bulk through the same quote flow.

Confirm you have the iPhone 11 Pro Max

The fastest way to confirm your exact model is on the phone itself. Go to Settings → General → About and check the Model Number field. If it shows a physical part number that starts with a letter and ends in "LL/A," tap it once to reveal the underlying model number.

A2161

  • US model number for AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Unlocked variants
  • Covers all storage tiers: 64GB, 256GB, 512GB
  • Part numbers vary by color and carrier lock but all map to A2161

Prefer a visual check? Look for a 6.5-inch display, a matte glass back, and three rear cameras arranged in a triangle inside a raised square housing. Finishes come in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, with no visible Apple logo shine differences between models this year.

Battery, build & more

Battery

The Pro Max carried the largest battery of any iPhone at launch and was praised for all-day life even under heavy use. Battery health matters for resale; a unit that still holds a strong charge is worth noting in your listing.

Finishes

Available in Midnight Green, Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, with a matte glass back that resists fingerprints better than glossy earlier models.

Software

Ships with iOS 13 out of the box and continues to receive iOS updates years after launch, which keeps it viable for a new owner and easier to resell.

Known issues

Aging units commonly show reduced battery capacity and, on some phones, wear around the Lightning port from years of daily charging. Neither issue is unique to this model.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number or exact configuration?
Go to Settings → General → About and check the Model Number field. Tapping it once switches from the retail part number, which varies by color and carrier, to the underlying model number, which will read A2161 for every iPhone 11 Pro Max sold in the US. The same screen shows total storage, which you will need to select the right configuration on this page.
02 How do I tell it apart from the iPhone 11 Pro?
Screen size is the clearest tell. The standard iPhone 11 Pro has a 5.8-inch display and the Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display, so the Pro Max is noticeably larger and heavier in hand. Both share the same triple-camera layout and finishes, so size and weight, not camera count, are what separate them.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or an account lock?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that no longer holds a full charge, or a phone that will not power on can still be sold; select the condition that matches and the quote adjusts accordingly. What we cannot accept is a phone still tied to an Apple ID through Find My or with Activation Lock enabled. Remove the device from your iCloud account under Settings → General → Transfer or Reset before shipping, or the phone will be rejected.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Higher storage and clean cosmetic condition matter most. A 512GB unit in good shape is worth more than a 64GB unit even at the same condition grade, and a screen free of cracks or deep scratches beats one with damage regardless of storage. Strong battery health and an unlocked carrier status also help, since unlocked phones have a larger pool of buyers.
05 How do I erase it and get paid?
Back up anything you want to keep, then go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings. Confirm you are signing out of iCloud and Find My during that process, since a phone still linked to your Apple ID cannot be resold. Once your quote is locked in, print the prepaid label from your order confirmation; shipping is free and insured. We test the phone on arrival and pay by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full erasure steps by device are on our data erasure protocols page.
