Back up, then Settings → [your name] → Sign Out (this turns off Find My / Activation Lock), remove your SIM, and Erase All Content and Settings. We also wipe it again to NIST 800-88 standards and email you a Certificate of Data Erasure.

What if my MacBook Air (M1) is worth less after inspection?+

If our inspection changes your quote, we send photo evidence and give you 14 days to accept or decline. Decline and we ship your MacBook Air (M1) back free — we never silently accept a lower offer for you.
