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 and replaces displays itself, which is why a cracked screen is a deduction rather than a refusal, with free doorstep pickup, written 1-5 day quotes and UAE bank transfer on the pickup day. 70 verified Google reviews sit on its Business Profile.

01

Screen faults graded, not refused

Glass, panel, lines, touch and back glass are each priced separately from your photos, so the deduction fits the actual damage.

02

The repair-or-sell maths done for you

Ask in the quote form and the desk says plainly whether a screen replacement would change the figure. It almost never does.

03

Unlocked without touching the screen

icloud.com removes the phone from your Apple ID when touch is gone. The desk walks you through it before pickup.

04

Figure written from photos, held 1-5 days

The quote is built from what you send and paid in full at the door when the screen matches the pictures.

How it works

Five steps for your cracked-screen 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 cracked-screen 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 cracked-screen iPhone without a back-and-forth.

iPhone glass versus panel

Glass only or panel too

Cracked glass over a working display is the cheapest fault. Lines, patches or a black panel mean the OLED is gone and cost more.

2 tiersof screen damage
iPhone touch test

Does touch still work

Working touch means you can sign out of iCloud yourself and the digitizer is fine. Ghost touch or no touch is priced as a panel fault.

iPhone model and storage

Model and storage

A cracked Pro Max keeps most of its value; a cracked older base model less so. Read model and storage from the box or your Apple ID page if the screen is dead.

Pro Maxholds value longest
iPhone replaced screen

Any previous screen repair

A non-genuine replacement panel triggers an iOS warning and is priced like a cracked original. Say if the screen was ever changed.

Cracked back glass and a bent frame are priced separately from the front. Photograph both sides and the edges.

"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

Cracked screen FAQ

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

Yes, in every state from a hairline crack to a shattered panel with no touch. The written quote reflects the display repair cost, but the board, cameras and housing keep their value because SellYourMac.ae refurbishes in house. Fill in the quote form with the model, storage and screen state for an exact figure.

Model and storage set the band; the type of screen damage moves the figure inside it. Front glass only, with touch and display working, costs the least. A dead or lined OLED costs more, because the panel is the most expensive part on a Pro or Pro Max. Send photos and the desk writes the figure down.

Almost never. A genuine Apple display replacement in the UAE usually costs more than it adds to the offer, and a non-genuine panel triggers an iOS warning and disables True Tone, so the desk prices it close to a cracked original. Sell as-is unless the desk tells you on WhatsApp that a repair would change the number.

Cracked front glass, spider-web shatter, corner chips, cracked back glass, green or pink lines, dead pixels, black patches, ghost touch and no touch at all. Also bent frames where the screen has lifted. Each is priced from the photos, and none of them is a reason to decline the phone.

Go to icloud.com on any computer, open Find Devices, choose the iPhone and select Remove from Account. That clears Activation Lock without touching the phone. The desk walks you through it on WhatsApp before pickup, and cannot pay for a phone that stays locked.

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

UAE bank transfer at the door on the pickup day, once the courier confirms the damage matches the photos. Cash on collection is available if you ask when booking the pickup. Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq and Liv accounts are all accepted.

Yes. If touch still works, sign out of iCloud and take a backup first. If it does not, remove the phone from your Apple ID at icloud.com. Every phone gets Apple's erase or a hardware-level clear before resale, and nothing is resold with your data on it.

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

Newer Pro and Pro Max units, because their boards and cameras are worth the most to refurbish even when the panel is gone. iPhone 12 through 18 Pro and Duo are all bought; iPhone 11 units still sell at a sharper discount. A cracked 16 Pro Max is worth far more than a pristine 11.
FAQ

People also ask

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

Yes, and it is the cheapest kind of screen damage to carry. Front glass only, with the display and touch intact, takes the smallest deduction because the panel underneath is fine. Send a photo of the glass and a photo of the screen lit up, and the desk quotes it in writing.

That is usually a dead display on a working phone, and it is bought. The board, cameras and battery are fine, so the figure is higher than a phone that will not power on. Say in the quote form that it rings or vibrates, remove it from your Apple ID at icloud.com, and send photos.

Usually not; a cracked display is one of the conditions Apple Trade In declines or values very low, and it pays store credit when it does accept one. SellYourMac.ae buys every cracked iPhone for AED cash by bank transfer on the pickup day, with free pickup in all 7 emirates.

Rarely. Compare the repair quote with the difference between the cracked and repaired figures from the desk; the repair almost always costs more than it recovers, and a non-genuine panel lowers the offer. Get the cracked-screen quote first, it holds 1-5 days.
