Sell your broken
iPhone 14.
Smashed, with the picture gone altogether, a 128 GB is worth £77 here: 65 per cent of what the same phone pays working. There is enough in an iPhone 14 to be worth the bench time and not so much that the repair vanishes into it, which is what that share reflects.

What the damage costs you
Three figures, and the gaps between them are the point. £119 if it is perfect. £111 once the front glass has gone but the display under it still draws a clean image, a drop of £8. £77 once the image itself is wrong, which is £42 off the top. Cracked glass over a working picture is close to free here, which is not true at most places you could send it.
The 128 GB is the smallest this phone was sold in and these are its prices, so nothing above can catch you out. On an OLED a failing panel shows as a dark blotch, a burnt in shadow of the keyboard, or a line of pixels that has simply stopped. Unsure? The lower grade is the safe answer, because we revise upwards without being asked and downwards only in writing. Our three grades, explained properly.
Where the iPhone 14 sits
That makes the iPhone 14 one of the better ones on this site. 2 of the 32 iPhones on this list come through damage better than that, and 28 come through it worse.
Run the same sum over all 32 of them and a shape appears. Under £50 working, a faulty picture leaves about 41 per cent. At £120 and up it leaves about 57 per cent. The panel has nothing to do with it; the price of the phone has everything to do with it.
What is going on is that an iPhone 14 is worth enough, and holds together well enough, that a display is a small part of putting one right. The board, the cameras, the battery and the chassis come through a fall untouched, and they are most of what anybody is buying.
Worth knowing before you send it
There is no systematic fault on the 14, and we would rather say so than invent one. One thing does catch people out: iPhone 14s sold in America have no SIM tray at all, because Apple made them eSIM only there. If yours came from the States and you cannot find the slot, nothing has broken.
A 14 can reach a satellite when there is no mobile signal at all, something no iPhone before this range could do, and Apple lets you rehearse it, which doubles as a check on a dropped phone. Stand outside with a clear view of the sky, open Control Centre, tap the mobile data button, then Satellite, then Try Demo, and follow the instructions on screen until it connects; the demo does not call the emergency services. This generation also gave the front camera autofocus for the first time, so take one selfie at arm's length and one close to your face and check both are sharp. A 13 and a 14 look almost the same, so when the screen cannot help, read the model number: take the SIM tray out and look into the slot in good light, where a UK 14 is marked A2882.
Sure it is this one?
A 14 and a 13 are the same 6.1 inch phone with a notch and two diagonal lenses, and there is no reliable way to tell them apart by eye. Settings, General, About settles it. One clue: an iPhone 14 with no SIM tray at all was sold in America.
Every size, broken
Picture gone, this model runs 128 GB £77, 256 GB £86 and 512 GB £86.
Cracked with the picture good, 128 GB £111, 256 GB £122 and 512 GB £127.
The iPhone 14 in one paragraph
Apple redesigned the inside of the 14 so the back glass comes off on its own. On every iPhone before it a cracked back meant replacing the whole chassis, so a 14 with a smashed back is a much cheaper phone to bring back than a 13 with the same damage.
What happens to a broken one here
There is a queue of people who would happily own an iPhone 14 once it has a working screen, and that queue is what the price is really based on. We do the repair, we sell it ourselves, and nobody stands in between taking a margin out of your offer.
The label is tracked and insured to the value of the quote, the check takes a working day, and the money follows within 48 hours of the phone arriving it.
What to do about the data, the postage and a grade we disagree with is all on the broken iPhone page. Everything else about this phone, damage or no damage, is on the iPhone 14 page. Still deciding? Cracked back? What it really does to your iPhone's value.
Broken iPhones either side of this one
The share beside each name is what that model keeps. Notice how little the panel has to do with the order.
