The Apple iPhone 16 Plus, model A3082, launched in 2024 as the large-screen version of Apple's standard flagship, aimed at anyone who wanted the bigger 6.7-inch display without paying for the Pro camera system or the stainless steel-adjacent build. It carries the same A18 chip as the smaller iPhone 16, the new Camera Control button, and an Action Button in place of the old mute switch, which keeps it relevant for daily use well past its release year. Because Apple supports iPhones with software updates for years, a 16 Plus in good condition still has real resale demand. Pick your storage, carrier, and condition in the picker above for an instant cash offer, or read how the process works before you commit to selling your iPhone.

Confirm you have the iPhone 16 Plus

Open Settings → General → About on the phone itself. The Model Name field will read "iPhone 16 Plus." Tap the Model Number field once and it toggles from the retail part number (something like MXUW3LL/A) to the regulatory model number, A3082. Either number confirms the exact device.

A3082 (iPhone17,4)

  • Sold unlocked and through AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon in the US, all sharing this same model number
  • Covers all three storage tiers: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB
  • Retail part numbers vary by color and storage, including MXUW3LL/A, MXV33LL/A, MXV83LL/A, MXUX3LL/A, MXV43LL/A, MXV93LL/A, MXUV3LL/A, MXV13LL/A, MXV73LL/A, MXUU3LL/A, MXV03LL/A, MXV63LL/A, MXUT3LL/A, MXUY3LL/A, and MXV53LL/A
  • US units use eSIM only, with no physical SIM tray

Prefer a visual check? Look for the Camera Control button, a small rectangular button on the lower right edge below the power button. Check the rear camera layout too: the 16 Plus stacks its two lenses vertically, not diagonally. If you are not sure which model you are holding, Apple's own model finder can help narrow it down.

  • Available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, fixed at purchase and not expandable
  • Storage tier is the single biggest lever on resale value for this model

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number / exact configuration?
Go to Settings → General → About and check Model Name and Model Number. The Model Name will read "iPhone 16 Plus." Tap the Model Number once to switch it from the retail part number (like MXUW3LL/A) to the regulatory number, A3082. The same screen shows your storage capacity and carrier, so you can match your picker selections above to what's actually on the phone before requesting a quote.
02 How do I tell it apart from the iPhone 15 Plus?
Check the Camera Control button and the rear camera alignment. The iPhone 16 Plus has a small rectangular Camera Control button on the lower right edge and an Action Button on the upper left, replacing the old mute switch. Its two rear cameras sit in a vertical stack. The iPhone 15 Plus has neither Camera Control nor an Action Button, keeps the traditional mute switch, and its cameras are arranged diagonally. Settings → General → About is the definitive check if you want to be certain.
03 Can I sell it with damage (cracked screen, weak battery, won't turn on, account lock)?
Yes, in most cases. The condition picker above accounts for cracked screens, degraded batteries, and phones that won't power on, and the quote adjusts accordingly. What it can't work around is an active iCloud lock. Find My iPhone and Activation Lock must be turned off, and the phone signed out of iCloud, before you ship it, or it can't be accepted. If the phone won't turn on and you can't access Settings, you'll need to remove it through iCloud.com or another signed-in Apple device first.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Storage tier and carrier status matter most, followed by cosmetic condition. A 512GB unlocked unit in clean condition will always sit well above a cracked, carrier-locked 128GB phone. Beyond that, a fully functional Face ID, an unreplaced screen and battery, an intact charging port, and the original box or accessories all help. Removing iCloud lock and factory resetting before you request a quote also avoids delays once the phone is in for testing.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → [your name] → sign out of iCloud first, then Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings. Confirm your passcode and Apple ID password when prompted, and make sure Find My iPhone shows as off before you box the phone up. If it's on a carrier plan, remove it from your carrier account as well. Shipping is free and insured once you accept your quote. Payment goes out after the phone passes inspection, by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full steps are in our data erasure protocols.
