WHAT TO DO WITH THAT BROKEN IPHONE

Apple now accepts damaged iPhones for trade-in A new twist to the iPhone trade-in program will give you credit for a new phone when you trade in a broken model. by Lance Whitney February 5, 2016.  

Got an iPhone with a cracked screen or busted camera? You can now hand it over to Apple for store credit toward a new iPhone. The Apple Store Reuse and Recycle iPhone trade-in program has always offered store credit for older models. But the program has applied only if your current iPhone is in good condition with no cracks or other defects. Now Apple has tweaked the plan to accept damaged iPhones, a company spokesman said Friday, confirming a 9to5Mac report . . The change to the trade-in policy could be a boon to consumers wondering what to do with damaged iPhones. People with busted phones may also be more likely to upgrade, instead of opting for a repair, if they can save some money through a trade-in. . The program applies to the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. .
