Why sell to us

What is SellYourMac.ae?

SellYourMac.ae is a UAE-licensed Apple buy-back desk run by Azizi Technologies from Concord Tower, Dubai Media City, trading since 2013. It refurbishes in house, which is why it pays cash for iPhones other buyers decline, with free doorstep pickup in every emirate, written 1-5 day quotes and UAE bank transfer on the pickup day. 70 verified Google reviews sit on its Business Profile.

01

Bought in any state, even dead

Shattered glass, liquid inside, Face ID gone, no power. Each is priced for what still works and what the parts are worth.

02

Sell as-is, skip the repair bill

The desk tells you on WhatsApp whether a repair would change the offer. It almost never does, so keep the money.

03

Erased even when the screen is dead

A hardware-level clear and Activation Lock removal happen before any resale, whether or not the phone boots.

04

Damage priced up front, in writing

The quote is built from your photos and holds for 1-5 days. If the damage matches at the door, the figure is paid in full.

How it works

Five steps for your broken iPhone. Pickup can be the same day in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman when you book early; other emirates on a day you choose. Payment is made at the door on the pickup day.

  1. 01

    Send the details in the quote form

    Fill in the quote form with your broken iPhone model, storage, condition and UAE area. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Receive the AED quote

    The written quote arrives on WhatsApp, valid 1-5 days. The desk explains how the number was built so there are no surprises on collection.

  3. 03

    Free doorstep pickup

    Pick a time window. An insured courier collects from any UAE address: home, office, hotel, or Dubai International Airport short-stay.

  4. 04

    Inspection and data wipe

    On-the-spot check against the written quote. If it matches, we run a certified data wipe and prepare payment. A wipe note is available on request.

  5. 05

    Paid on pickup day

    UAE bank transfer (Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq, Liv) or cash on collection, at the door on the pickup day. Confirmed before the courier leaves.

What we check

Enter these six details in the quote form and the desk can return a precise written offer for a damaged iPhone without a back-and-forth.

iPhone with cracked screen

Cracked glass and display

Front glass, LCD or OLED lines and touch dead zones are priced by model. A cracked Pro Max keeps most of its value.

Most commondamage type
Water-damaged iPhone

Liquid and water marks

Say when it got wet and whether it boots. Do not charge it. Wet phones that power on keep more value than dead ones.

Boots or notdecides the band
iPhone with Face ID fault

Face ID, cameras and speakers

A failed Face ID or rear camera costs more than cracked glass because the parts are paired to the board. Still bought.

Paired partspriced honestly
iPhone with dead battery

Dead or swollen battery

A service warning takes a small deduction; a swollen battery a larger one. Do not press on a bulging screen, just send a photo.

Small cutfor battery
iPhone unlocked

Find My and Activation Lock

Must be off before payment. If the screen is dead, remove the phone at icloud.com; the desk walks you through it on WhatsApp.

icloud.comif screen dead
iPhone parts

Why a dead phone still pays

The board, cameras, housing and battery are reused in refurbishment, so even a no-boot iPhone has a written figure.

"I had an excellent experience with SellYourMac. I messaged them in the morning with my Mac’s details and photos, and they came to my place the same day. They inspected the Mac in about five minutes and paid me the exact amount we had agreed on beforehand in cash."

"The team were really helpful! We thought we had no value in our old tech and in the end we got some reasonable money in return for things we're just going to put in the recycle bin. Really attentive and transfered funds quick after inspecting the tech."

FAQ

Broken iPhone FAQ

Direct answers for UAE sellers with damaged phones. Each answer stands alone so it can be quoted on its own.

Yes. Cracked screens, water damage, dead batteries, Face ID faults, bent frames and phones that will not power on are all bought. The written quote reflects the repair cost, but the board, cameras and housing still carry value because SellYourMac.ae refurbishes in house. Fill in the quote form with the model and the damage for an exact figure.

Model and storage set the band, then the type of damage moves the figure inside it. A shattered iPhone 16 Pro that still powers on keeps most of its value; a dead 13 is priced for parts. Cracked glass costs less than a failed Face ID or liquid damage. Describe the damage in the quote form and the desk writes the figure down.

Almost never. An authorised screen or Face ID repair in the UAE usually costs more than it adds to the offer, and a non-genuine part can lower it. A cheap battery swap on an otherwise excellent phone is the rare exception. Send the damage photos first and the desk will say whether a repair would change anything.

Usually not. A non-genuine display triggers an iOS warning and disables True Tone, so the desk prices it close to a cracked original. If the phone has already been repaired, say so in the quote form and the quote will reflect it honestly rather than surprising you at the door.

Yes. Free doorstep collection in all 7 emirates, the same process as a working phone, with no minimum value. Wrap a shattered screen in a cloth or a zip bag so glass does not shed. The courier checks the phone at the door against the written quote and pays on the spot.

If touch still works, sign out of iCloud in Settings. If it does not, go to icloud.com on any computer, open Find Devices, pick the iPhone and choose Remove from Account. The desk walks you through it on WhatsApp before pickup, and cannot pay for a phone that stays locked.

A UAE bank transfer at the door on the pickup day is the default once the courier confirms the damage matches the photos. The transfer is sent at the door before the courier leaves, anywhere in the UAE. Cash on collection is available if you ask when booking.

A written quote holds for 1-5 days from the WhatsApp message. If the damage matches the photos on collection, the courier pays that figure, with no doorstep renegotiation. 70 verified Google reviews describe exactly that handover.

iPhone 12 through 18 Pro and Duo, including mini, Plus, Pro, Pro Max, Air and e. iPhone 11 units still sell at a sharper parts discount, and anything older is quoted case by case. Newer models keep more value when broken because their boards and cameras are worth more to refurbish.

Sign out of iCloud if the phone still responds, and take a backup first if you can. If it will not boot, tell the desk. Every phone gets Apple's erase or a hardware-level clear before resale, and Activation Lock is removed. Nothing is resold with your data on it.
FAQ

People also ask

Long-tail broken-iPhone questions UAE owners type into Google and ChatGPT.

Yes. A phone that will not boot is priced for its board, cameras and housing, and a Pro Max still holds real parts value. Remove it from your Apple ID at icloud.com first so Activation Lock clears. Fill in the quote form with the model, storage and what happened and the desk sends a written figure.

Yes. Liquid damage is priced by what still works: a phone that boots keeps more, one that does not is bought for parts. Do not charge it or try to dry it in rice; say when it happened in the quote form, and the desk quotes it honestly and collects it free.

Often not. Apple Trade In usually declines phones with cracked screens, liquid damage or Face ID faults, and pays store credit when it does accept one. SellYourMac.ae buys every broken iPhone for AED cash by bank transfer on the pickup day, with free pickup in all 7 emirates.

Sell it. Loose parts lose value every month and are hard to sell individually, while a whole phone, even dead, is priced as a unit with the board, cameras and housing counted. A written quote on WhatsApp costs nothing and holds for 1-5 days while you decide.
