Hey guys,

Unfortunately smashed my screen on my 3.5 year old XR. Need a new phone tomorrow but not looking to spend a ton. What’s your opinion on best bang for your buck? FYI I have Verizon start unlimited plan. Will they for some ungodly reason take my broken phone as a trade in?? Please help, I’m going to Verizon/Apple tomorrow to get a new phone.

Your choices are limited by the amount you have to spend. Depend on how much less than a “ton” you are willing to spend, it sound like Your choice might be the SE.
 
A 13 or 13 Mini would be a great replacement if you have the cash for it otherwise your only choice is an SE.

iPhone 13 will serve you well

If you're otherwise happy with the XR, Apple will replace the screen for $199.

A quick check with the Apple web site says they'll give you $50 trade-in for an XR with a broken screen, assuming everything else works.
