Yes — you can sell an iPhone with a cracked screen, cracked back glass or a weak battery. WorthyTen buys devices with minor to moderate damage, and the final offer is adjusted based on the extent of the damage. The rest of the phone — chip, cameras and storage — keeps its value.
Key Takeaways
- Damage lowers the offer according to how bad it is; it rarely makes an iPhone worthless.
- A cracked screen that still works fully is worth more than one with dead areas or broken touch.
- Choose the honest condition in your quote so it matches the final offer after the check.
Cracked Screen
The offer depends on whether the display still works. Hairline cracks with full touch and a clear picture reduce the offer less than a shattered screen, lines, dead areas or a display that no longer responds to touch. Face ID is checked too, because a hard knock can affect it.
Cracked Back Glass
On iPhones with a glass back, a cracked back is cosmetic damage — the phone usually works normally. It lowers the offer, but typically by less than a broken screen. For model-specific detail, see our cracked back glass guide.
Low or Dead Battery
Check Settings > Battery > Battery Health. A battery that has worn well below its original capacity lowers the offer, because the next owner may need a replacement. If the phone will not switch on at all, send us a photo and the model on WhatsApp first — we'll tell you whether we can make an offer.
Should You Repair Before Selling?
Only if the repair costs clearly less than the amount it adds to your price. For many iPhones, especially older ones, selling as-is is simpler. Get your quote for the phone as it is first, then decide.
