Sell a broken iPhone for cash in Europe
Cracked the screen on your iPhone? Don't bin it. A broken iPhone is still worth real money, and Ace Buyback pays cash for broken and used iPhone screens across Europe — with a free prepaid label and fast payout.
What is a broken iPhone actually worth?
More than most people think. A cracked or faulty display still contains a valuable OLED panel and components that can be refurbished or reused, so a damaged iPhone has a real second-hand value as a repair part — usually well above what a trade-in or recycling bin will give you. The exact figure depends on the model and the damage; check the live pricing page for your device.
How to sell your broken iPhone (3 steps)
1. Get your price. Pick your iPhone model and its condition for an instant quote — no haggling.
2. Ship it free. We send you a free, prepaid and insured shipping label. Drop the device off and it comes to our lab.
3. Get paid. We test and grade it (typically within 24-48 hours), confirm your offer, and pay you by bank transfer, PayPal, crypto, or store credit.
Before you send it: wipe your iPhone
Protect your data and avoid delays. Back up your iPhone, then sign out of iCloud and switch off Find My iPhone — this clears Activation Lock, which is essential. Finally, erase the device under Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone. Never ship a phone that is still signed in to your Apple ID.

Frequently asked questions
Is a broken iPhone screen worth anything?
Yes. Even a cracked iPhone with a damaged display has real value — the OLED panel and other components can be refurbished or harvested for repairs. You almost always get more from a screen buyback service like Ace Buyback than from binning it or trading it in.
Which iPhones does Ace Buyback buy?
We buy broken and used screens across modern iPhone models. Pick your exact model on the pricing page for a live quote based on its condition.
Should I remove my data before sending an iPhone?
Yes — back up, sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (this removes Activation Lock), then erase the device in Settings before you ship it. Never send a phone that is still signed in to your Apple ID.
How fast do I get paid?
Once your screen arrives, our lab tests and grades it (typically within 24-48 hours) and we make you an offer. Accept it and we pay you by bank transfer, PayPal, crypto, or store credit.
Do I need the original box or charger?
No. We are buying the screen, so you do not need the box, charger, or accessories. Just use the free prepaid label to send the device in.
