Selling a cracked or broken iPhone in DFW: what still has value

A cracked or dead iPhone is not worthless. Here is how different kinds of damage affect the offer and how to describe them so there are no surprises at the meetup.

People throw away or drawer a lot of iPhones that are worth real money. A cracked screen, a bad battery or a phone that will not turn on all still have value, because the parts and the working components are valuable on their own.

How damage affects the offer

Cracked screen, everything worksReduced offer. Screens are the most common repair, so these resell easily once fixed.
Cracked back glassReduced offer, usually less than a cracked screen on newer models.
Battery health under 80%Small reduction. Battery swaps are routine.
Face ID or camera not workingLarger reduction. These parts are paired to the phone and are harder to repair.
Water damageCase by case. Tell us what happened and whether it still powers on.
Will not turn on at allParts offer. Still worth selling rather than tossing.

What we check at the meetup

We look at the screen and body, turn it on, check the display for lines or dead spots, test touch, cameras, Face ID, speakers and charging, and look at battery health. None of this takes more than a few minutes. If the phone matches what you described, the offer does not change.

How to describe damage

The easiest way is a photo. Take one of the front with the screen on and one of the back, and mention anything that does not work. Over-describing damage never hurts you; under-describing it is the only thing that leads to a different number at the meetup.

Tell us about your damaged iPhone and check the boxes for the issues it has. We will text you a cash offer.
