Can you trade in an iPhone with a cracked screen?

Some phones still have a resale value even with damage but that is usually a much newer model and depends on the extent of the damage. Apple began accepting trade-in of damaged devices over two years ago. On a iPhone 7 Plus it would steeply reduct the price or reduce it to where they will just recycle it.

Only Apple representatives can tell you what your iPhone is now worth (if anything).

According to Apple Trade In - Apple the most they will offer you, assuming the phone turns on and the buttons work, is $25 USD.

If you replace the screen the most you could receive is $210.

A retailer might be able to repair this.

But for the price, it's more beneficial to just get a new phone, that way all is up-to-date. In my opinion, it's a good reason to get a new iPhone.

My iPhone: I've had it for more than half-a-decade. If it becomes cracked or dropped in water, then, I'd just get a new iPhone.

The trade in value for Apple goes to nothing if there’s a crack.

There might be people willing to buy one with a minor crack if it's working. However, Apple considers that to be something that basically deducts the value of the screen repair from the trade in value. I actually have a tiny chip in the glass of my iPhone 7. Otherwise it works perfectly. But that means the trade-in value for Apple goes from $140 to 0. I'm not complaining.

Really though, Apple trade-in is generally a poor deal, but anyone is free to use it.

It depends on how valuable $25 to $50 is to the OP and whether they know anyone they want to gift it to. It sounds like it would be more valuable to you as a gift. They could probably get more if they repaired it and sold it themselves.

The OP doesn't have an iPhone 7, they have a 7 Plus and it takes the value to $25 USD. And we aren't talking about yours or whether it is a "poor" deal. Yes, you can sometimes sell it privately for more but that means the person has to learn about what to do before they sell it, where to list it, meet the person at a safe place to sell it, etc. So how much $ is the persons time worth? For many it is much easier and economical to just trade it in to Apple (really their partner Brightstar in the US), Gazelle, or one of the other companies that buy used electronics. Just like any other business there is some variation in what they pay but it really isn't a lot different between all of them overall.

An iPhone with a broken screen doesn't have any value for Apple trade-in. It can only be recycled for free.

It would be more valuable repaired and given as a gift. Trade in values are low to begin with, and pretty much disappear with any damage.
