If it's just the front glass, about $280.00 USD.
I'd say it would be worth it.
It would cost 2-3 times that amount to replace it.
Did it have a case or screen protector on it when that happened?r
 
Looks like it just needs a screen replacement. Not a big deal (in my opinion).

Is it worth it? Up to you. If it were my phone, yes I'd do it. If you've got money to burn, then it's your choice whether you buy another phone...

How much to get repaired will depend on where you get it repaired...

There is also a small bent down to the corner that it’s broken.They told me I need also a new frame.because it will be no more waterproof.
 
Go and get a repair quote and then you can make a more informed decision on whether it’s worth fixing or not.

I don’t know if you can just replace the frame only as the glass back may be attached to it. If you’re keeping the phone for yourself you should just replace the screen and live with the lack of water resistance. Use an Otterbox case or similar.

Who told you it would need a new frame?
Was it at an Apple Store?
Did they give you a repair estimate for the front glass and frame?
 
The parts alone cost about $300 for an OEM display and $150 for a new chassis. The frame is pretty bent. Non OEM parts are about half that. If you’re using the phone for yourself, might better off paying $549 to Apple for an out of warranty device replacement.

In greece they are asking for 380$ for the display and 250$ for thr chassis.

You can always sell it for a few hundred dollars as parts/repair on eBay and then use the money towards purchasing a new phone. There’s no right answer as the phone is close to being a total write off in its current state.

I work for Apple; you require a display assembly and "rear" replacement due to the bent frame.

Check on your country's Apple site and select "rear glass repair (which includes the frame)" and then "front glass repair" add the totals; that'll be the cost, or they'll offer to do a Whole Unit Replacement.

SPOT, in the USA, seems to be the retail distributor of Apple OEM parts.
I cannot find a listing for the rear glass in their catalog.
Can you elaborate on where you found this part available?

It's an internal part, don't know what else to say. For iPhone 12, 13 and specifically 14 Pro Series (14 series has replaceable rear-glass) if the back is cracked we replace the "Rear", it includes everything except the display and rear camera, which are transferred to the new "Rear".

You can see the very high price showing this on Apple's site, select cracked rear-glass.

It's totaled unforutunatley. Even if you were to fix the glass the frame would still be loose. It could impact the stability of the display in the long run. The cost of repair may not be worth it. I don't know, it's up to you. It's going to be costly no matter what.

Yes, I already know that, but the part itself does not seem to be available unless Apple replaces it.

Only the front glas?
More than just the glass is broken.
OLED pixels turn black, meaning they die, when they come in contact with air (oxygen specifically). The cracks let air in. Those can’t be recovered.
The screen must be replaced entirely. Although OP could charge it to 55%, turn it off, and replace the screen with a soft OLED replacement panel when they are more affordable in a year or so and resell it or hand it down.
