Whats my trade in value now

I was about to get the iphone xs max soon but unfortunately my iphone 7 dropped and cracked where the home button is. Wondering if this is still considered damaged or not. Thanks!

I see several issues you will have. I may have omitted some:

  • "screen fixed for 80 dollars" ... the minimum price I see for screen repair is US$149 (unless you have AppleCare+). And that price would only hold if there were no other damage to the iPhone, which seems extremely unlikely from your screen shot.
  • "[I] can get the full $250?". Well, that assumes that Apple's limited time trade-in promotion is still in effect for the iPhone XR when your iPhone 7 is repaired. I think that's highly unlikely. Once the promotion ends, the maximum offer for an IPhone 7 in perfect shape is $175.

Why do you think theres other issues with the phone other than the screen? Unless small dents are also accounted for then the phone is prefectly fine. And theres a store by me that fixes screens for $80 which i have done before with this phone. When i was doing the apple giveback check online for the XS MAX it says you get 250 for a good screen and 100 for a damaged in return. Unless what theyre asking online isnt what they check in stores than i dont see how i wont get credit, its only asking for functionality. Im planning on getting it by the new year which may be the only valid reason you said why i might not get it given if the promotion is still active.
