I have no idea how as I take good care of my Iphone
but one of the rear camera lenses cracked. It has no
effect, camera works normally but I am told in apple service
that the entire motherboard has to be replaced which would
cost half of what I payed just a couple of months ago.
I am completely new to Apple and my question is
is there some way to trade such phone for a new one
for perhaps a lower price?

Hello amirknez!
You can find the Trade-In Value of your device Here, and then you can compare the costs.
I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
Edit- I didn’t see the iPhone 14 Pro Max in the list of iPhones to choose from, within the “Find your trade-in value” tool. Maybe it isn’t eligible for Trade-In? Thoughts, anyone?
It seems you would just need to replace the camera lens. I have done that a couple of times due to them getting cracked. Apple replacement part will run you about $169 and aftermarket ones run about $15. I will say the aftermarket ones work but they don't quite fit perfectly.
You can find out by starting a new phone order using the Trade-in process. During that process, you will be asked a few questions on the condition of the phone you are trading in. Be sure to answer all the questions (there are only a few) as honestly as possible. The end results is you will get a potential trade-in value. Most likely, you will be offered little or no trade-in value.
Alternately, you can contact Apple Sales directly and ask them what your options are.
Sorry, no. Apple will not take damaged phones for trade-in.
