iPhone screen buyback price guide by model (2026)

A broken original iPhone screen is worth most on Pro Max and Pro lines, mid on standard OLED lines, and least on older LCD models. The figure moves weekly with demand and grade, so the guaranteed number is the live quote per model at instant quote, locked for 14 days. Fixera, the trade name of Fonora OU in Tartu, Estonia, sells refurbished original iPhone displays and buys broken original iPhone and Samsung Galaxy screens from EU repair shops.

What is the buyback price for a broken iPhone screen by model in 2026?

The buyback price for a broken original iPhone screen depends on the model and its grade. It also depends on whether the fault is glass only or a dead panel. Pro and Pro Max lines pay the most, standard lines sit in the middle, and LCD models make up the entry band. Fixera publishes a dated snapshot below, but the guaranteed number for your exact model is the live quote, locked for 14 days.

Read the snapshot as a shape, not a price sheet. A cracked front glass on an OLED Pro panel that still shows a clean image is a relaminate candidate, so it sits at the top. The same model with a green line still shows an image and takes touch, so it drops to the bottom paying grade, not out of the ladder. Dead touch is a different case: it is a reject, outside A to E.

Which iPhone models pay the most on buyback right now?

Pro Max and Pro models pay the highest, standard models pay in the middle, and older iPhones that use LCD pay the least. The reason is the panel: newer OLED Pro displays are the ones refurbishing labs want back, and demand for those on the sell side pulls the buyback rate up. The table below is a dated relative snapshot from 2026, not a euro list. Pull your model's real number from the live quote.

This snapshot is dated on purpose. Bands move, and a model near the top today can shift as stock demand changes. Check your exact model and quantity at instant quote or against the live pricelist.

Why does the buyback price move week to week?

Fixera buyback prices move week to week because they track live refurbishing demand and stock levels model by model. The mix of grades coming in feeds the rate too. A model that labs are short on climbs. A model that is already well stocked eases off. This is why no honest EU buyer can hand you a permanent euro list, and why Fixera locks your quote for 14 days once it is created, so the moving market does not move under your batch partway through your shipment.

The 14 day lock matters more than a headline rate. It means the number you accept is the number you get paid, tested on arrival, with the payout processed the same business day on the day the batch is graded.

Do you grade the crack or the panel?

Fixera grades the panel, not the crack. A cracked front glass over a clean original OLED panel that still shows a full image and takes touch across the whole surface is worth real money, because the glass and OCA can be relaminated. The same model with a green line, a corner shadow, or burn in pays little, because the fault lives in the panel and cannot be refurbished away. Dead touch is not a low grade; it is a reject.

Every buyback panel is graded on arrival with a report on each unit and a dispute route before any money moves. No blind lump sum, no silent downgrade. Grades run A to E, published fault by fault, and every one of A to E still shows a full image and takes touch across the surface. A lined panel is grade E territory that still pays. Dead image, dead touch, aftermarket or copy panels, and already reglassed panels are rejected, not graded. For how the ladder works fault by fault, read iPhone screen grades explained for sellers.

What actually drives the price you get paid?

Four things drive the real payout on a broken original iPhone screen: the model, whether the panel is OLED or LCD, the grade Fixera assigns on arrival, and whether the damage is glass only or a damaged panel. Model and OLED versus LCD set the ceiling. Grade and fault set where inside that ceiling your batch lands.

• Model demand: Pro and Pro Max lines pay above standard lines.
• OLED versus LCD: original OLED panels pay above older LCD models.
• Grade on arrival: A to E, each published fault by fault, sets the rate per unit.
• Glass only versus damaged panel: a clean image under cracked glass pays; a lined panel pays little, and a dead panel is a reject.

Fixera is built to pay high on buyback and sell refurbished low on thin margins to take the market. On payout, the honest test is not the headline rate. It is the net payout after grading, shipping, and the speed of the money. A public dated reference, a live quote per model and a 14 day lock give you a number to hold, instead of a gated list behind "contact us within one hour".

FAQ

Does Fixera publish a fixed euro price per model?

No. Fixera prices move weekly with demand and grade, so the only guaranteed number is the live quote per model, which holds for 14 days once created. The dated snapshot table above shows relative bands, not fixed euros.

How long is a buyback quote valid?

A Fixera buyback quote is locked for 14 days once it is created. The rate you accept inside that window is the rate you are paid after grading, regardless of how the market moves in those 14 days.

When does Fixera pay for a graded batch?

Fixera processes the buyback payout the same business day, on the day the batch is tested and graded, which is the day it arrives. Every panel gets a grading report on each unit and a dispute route before any money moves.

Do I need a minimum order to sell to Fixera?

No, there is no minimum order. Fixera adds a free prepaid EU shipping label for new buyback clients or any order of €200 or more. Transit runs roughly 1 to 2 business days nearby and 2 to 4 business days across the EU.

Why do Pro models pay more than older iPhones?

Pro and Pro Max lines use original OLED panels that refurbishing labs are short on, so demand on the sell side pulls their buyback rate up. Older LCD models sit in the entry band because demand for those panels is lower.

Where does Fixera fit for EU repair shops?

Fixera, the trade name of Fonora OU in Tartu, Estonia, buys broken original iPhone and Samsung Galaxy screens with grading published fault by fault, a report on each unit, the payout processed the same business day on the day of arrival, and a 14 day price lock on every quote.
