What counts as a 'broken' iPhone for resale
We see almost every fault you can imagine through the counter — and most have a value attached, even if it's a parts-only price. The exception is iPhones reported lost, stolen or with active iCloud Activation Lock that can't be removed.
- Cracked or shattered screen — front or back
- Face ID not working or 'true tone' lost
- Camera glass smashed or rear lenses faulty
- Charging port not detecting cable / Lightning or USB-C damage
- Battery weak, swollen or showing Service
- No power, boot loop or stuck on Apple logo
- Liquid damage indicators tripped
How a broken iPhone is valued
We work backwards from the realistic resale or parts value, then deduct the cost of the repairs the device needs before it can be sold on safely. The offer reflects the most likely path back to market — full refurb, screen swap, battery swap or board harvest for spares.
Newer models almost always retain more parts value than older ones, even when broken — a smashed iPhone 14 Pro is generally worth far more in parts than a smashed iPhone X.
What to bring with you
The phone itself, ideally the charging cable and brick if you have them, plus photo ID. If the device still powers on, please sign out of iCloud and Find My before visiting — that materially improves the offer we can make.
