Cracked screen. Won't turn on. Stuck on the Apple logo. If you have a broken iPhone collecting dust, you might think it's worthless — but it's not. Here's where to sell it in Phoenix and how to get the best price.
Yes, We Buy Broken iPhones
TechITAZ purchases iPhones in all conditions — including cracked, water damaged, and phones that won't power on. Broken phones have real value because they're repaired and resold, or parted out for components.
🔧 Don't repair it first. Many people spend $100–$200 fixing a cracked screen before selling. In most cases, you'll get less back than you spent. Sell it broken and let us handle it.
What We Pay for Broken iPhones
| Model | Cracked Screen | Won't Turn On | Water Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | Up to $580 | Up to $350 | Up to $200 |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | Up to $380 | Up to $250 | Up to $150 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | Up to $200 | Up to $130 | Up to $80 |

Where to Sell a Broken iPhone in Phoenix
Option 1: TechITAZ (Avondale)
We're located in Avondale and serve the entire Phoenix metro. Walk in with your broken phone and walk out with cash — same day, no appointment needed. We assess every phone on the spot and give you a firm offer.
Option 2: Pawn Shops
Pawn shops will take broken iPhones but typically offer 20–40% of resale value. They also charge you if you want to buy it back. Not ideal unless you need cash this minute.
Option 3: Facebook Marketplace
You can list a broken iPhone yourself, but expect lowball offers, no-shows, and safety concerns from meeting strangers. Also takes days or weeks to sell.
Option 4: Apple Trade-In
Apple will take broken phones for credit — but only toward a new purchase, and the offers on damaged devices are typically very low.
How iCloud Lock Affects Broken Phone Value
Even on a broken phone, iCloud lock matters. If your phone has an active iCloud account attached, we can still buy it — but at a reduced price. The easiest thing to do:
- If it still turns on: Settings → tap your name → Sign Out
- If it's completely dead: log in at icloud.com → Find My → select your device → Remove from Account

Broken iPhones don't go to waste. Depending on the damage:
- Cracked screen only — screen replaced, phone resold as refurbished
- Won't turn on — diagnosed and repaired if cost-effective, otherwise parted out
- Water damage — assessed for corrosion; repairable units fixed, others parted
- Severe damage — components (cameras, logic boards, batteries) are harvested and reused
Nothing goes to a landfill. Selling your broken phone to us is the most environmentally responsible option.
