How and Where To Sell a Broken iPhone: Step by Step Guide

What Is Considered A Broken iPhone

Before we get into how you can sell your broken iPhone, we need to clarify what is considered a broken iPhone. A broken iPhone is any device that meets the following criteria;

• Cracked, chipped, or other damage to the screen, back glass, camera lens, frame or anywhere else on the device.
• Screen burn, ghost image, white dots, or other pixel damage.
• Bad port(s), bad battery, water damage, or any other hardware or software issues.
• Broken Face/Touch ID or Biometrics.
• Modified software or rooted.

So if your iPhone meets any of these criteria, it’s considered broken. 

At SmartphonesPLUS, we also buy devices we label as “No Power”.  These are devices that do not fully power on, charge, or show any signs of life.

What If It’s Worth $0?

If your device is quoted as worth $0, that doesn’t mean it’s worthless and should rot away in a forgotten drawer. Instead, you should recycle the device. At SmartphonesPLUS, we’re more than willing to recycle your old and used devices. Why should you recycle your broken iPhone?

How to Factory Reset a Broken iPhone Before Selling

Even if your iPhone screen is blacked out, you can still reset it and remove accounts remotely. Here’s what to do:

2. Once you’re logged in, scroll down and click on Find iPhone.

Another way you can reset your broken iPhone is by entering recovery mode:

       1. Turn off your iPhone and connect it to a computer.

       2. Enter Recovery Mode based on your model:
