Sell a broken iPhone in UAE. Cracked, dead, or water-damaged, we still buy
Most people calling about a broken iPhone expect to hear "it's worthless." They're surprised. A shattered iPhone that still powers on retains real value to us. A completely dead iPhone Pro Max is still worth a meaningful payout for the logic board, cameras, and housing. Send us photos — we'll quote in 60 seconds.
WhatsApp 3 photos: front (powered on or attempted), close-up of damage, back of device.
Same-day pickup in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman. Same-time bank transfer — sent the moment our courier verifies your device.
Fault-by-fault pricing
What each fault subtracts from the working iPhone price
The table below shows how much each fault reduces the working-condition offer for the same iPhone model. A cracked-screen iPhone 15 Pro Max still pays real cash — your exact offer is confirmed free on WhatsApp.
Repair vs sell — the maths
Should you repair before selling? Almost never.
An Apple-authorised iPhone 15 Pro Max screen replacement is expensive. The increase in our buying price for a repaired vs cracked screen is usually well below that repair cost, so repairing first loses you money. The exact figures are confirmed on WhatsApp.
Third-party repairs cost less — but they reduce resale value because non-genuine displays trigger an iOS warning. We pay roughly the same for a third-party-repaired screen as we do for a cracked one.
The one exception: a cheap battery replacement. If your iPhone is in otherwise excellent condition and Apple will replace the battery cheaply, that can lift the offer enough to net out positive. Anything else — sell as-is. The exact figures are confirmed on WhatsApp.
Which iPhones we buy broken
Every iPhone from 12 onward, any damage
We buy broken iPhones from the iPhone 12 series onward — including all Mini, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max variants across the 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 generations. Pro and Pro Max models retain the most value when broken because their logic boards, telephoto cameras, and stainless/titanium chassis have refurb demand.
iPhone 11 and older we still buy — but the offer drops sharply because parts are flooding the market. A cracked iPhone 11 Pro still pays cash — your exact offer is confirmed on WhatsApp.
How the broken-iPhone process works
From WhatsApp photo to payment in under 4 hours
- WhatsApp us 3 photos and a short description. Front (powered on or attempted), close-up of damage, back of device. Tell us what works and what doesn't.
- We quote in 60 seconds. The quote is firm for 1–5 days as long as the photos and description are accurate.
- Sign out of iCloud if possible. Settings → [Your Name] → Sign Out. If your screen is too damaged, sign out remotely from icloud.com → Find Devices → Remove from Account. We can guide you through this on WhatsApp.
- Courier arrives same day in major cities. Five-minute condition check, payment via bank transfer, Liv. or e& money, device handed over.
Why we buy broken
Volume turns broken devices into a real business
We refurbish and resell broken iPhones through certified repair partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Take a broken-screen iPhone 15 Pro: we refurbish and resell it, which is why we can pay more than a walk-in shop. The pipeline works at our volume — local shops can't make it work because they sell one or two a month, not hundreds. That's why a Naif or Al Fahidi walk-in shop quotes you far less than us for the same broken phone. Your exact offer is confirmed on WhatsApp.
Send us 3 photos on WhatsApp. Quote in 60 seconds. No 'bring it in for inspection'.
