Sell your broken
iPhone 17 Pro.
A 256 GB with a faulty display is £288, which is 55 per cent of what we pay for the same phone in one piece. At this end of the range the damage is one part of a phone that is otherwise worth a lot, and the offer is built that way round.

What the damage costs you
Working, a 256 GB iPhone 17 Pro pays £523. Glass cracked, picture still perfect: £501, so the crack costs you £22. Picture gone, meaning lines, blots, blank patches or a black screen: £288, so the display costs you £235. Cracked glass over a working picture is close to free here, which is not true at most places you could send it.
Those are 256 GB prices, the bottom of this model's range, so a larger one is worth more rather than less. On a panel this good a fault is obvious once you look: a green or pink cast, a band that will not refresh, or a line that stays put while everything else moves. When it is genuinely a toss up, choose the lower grade and let the bench correct it upwards. Our three grades, explained properly.
Where the iPhone 17 Pro sits
That makes the iPhone 17 Pro a little below the middle of our range. Of the 32 models with a page like this one, 17 hold a larger share and 13 hold less.
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.
An iPhone 17 Pro is on the side of the line where the bench time starts to show. The repair costs what it costs whatever the phone is worth, and on this one it is a noticeable slice rather than a rounding error, which is why the share sits where it does.
Worth knowing before you send it
Nothing has emerged as a pattern on a phone this recent. What we can tell you is that its 6.3 inch 120 Hz display is one of the dearest parts in this whole list, which is precisely why a smashed 17 Pro is worth a proper price and not the scrap value other sites will quote you.
Start with the selfie camera, since the hardware is new: the first square front sensor on an iPhone, which lets you shoot a landscape selfie while holding the phone upright. Take one each way and both should be crisp. The 17 Pro can also film from the front and rear cameras at the same moment, a feature Apple calls Dual Capture, so one short clip checks both ends of the phone at once. On the back, the three cameras sit in a plateau running edge to edge; try the 4x and 8x telephoto settings for a sharp image. The unibody is brushed aluminium, and cosmic orange and deep blue were finishes Apple gave this model and its Max sibling alone. A British handset carries A3523 inside its SIM slot, on the side facing the screen.
Sure it is this one?
6.3 inches, three rear cameras, and an aluminium body after two years of titanium Pros. The plain 17 is the same screen size with two lenses. The 17 Pro Max is this phone at 6.9 inches.
Every size, broken
Picture gone, this model runs 256 GB £288, 512 GB £352 and 1 TB £352.
Cracked with the picture good, 256 GB £501, 512 GB £501 and 1 TB £554.
The iPhone 17 Pro in one paragraph
The Pro moved back to an aluminium body with this generation, having been titanium for two years.
It starts at 256 GB. There is no 128 GB version of this phone.
What happens to a broken one here
It is recent enough that a broken one is a repair rather than a donor, and it is priced on that basis. The screen goes on, the phone is checked, erased and sold, and your damage changes the cost of one part.
Postage and the pack are free whatever it turns out to be worth, it is checked within a working day, and you are paid within 48 hours of it arriving.
Questions about broken phones, from wiping one you cannot unlock to what happens if we disagree with your grade, are answered on the broken iPhone page. The whole of this model, working or not, is on the iPhone 17 Pro page. Still deciding? Trade in or sell? What Apple and the networks do not mention.
