Hey I have an iPhone 14 pro from a relative that got heavily bend and has an entirely smashed body but still seems functional on the inside (turns on with messages and a bit of the screen still shows the Lock Screen, buttons are broken tho) I was wondering what to do of it? What can be the selling value? (Could it maybe even make sense looking for iPhone 14pros that are just dead on the inside with a perfectly working body?) or repairing it and then selling?

And beside that I wondered if there are ways to use stuff like the cameras, gps etc individually with iot stuff like arduinos and the kind? I imagine it being very hacky etc but I mean there are all kinds of communities you wouldn’t expect so who knows.

Or a last idea to connect the main board to a screen (at worst buy a working replacement iPhone 14 Pro Display (actually could you use old iPhone screens for that?)) and build a good enough chassis to use it as a HomeKit control panel on the entrance or so?
