Alternatives for a Damaged iPhone Screen

You're crazy with your iPhone. It has a lot of useful and simple functions, and it looks amazing. Then it falls out of your grip and lands on the sidewalk, leaving your once-beautiful iPhone with unsightly fractures from across the glass face. What should you do now?

There was nothing you could do. In most cases, the LCD (the image) beneath the glass is OK, and the touchscreen functionality is still usable, so you may use it until the next generation of the iPhone is out and you sense the need to upgrade.

If you're like the majority of iPhone owners, doing nothing isn't an option. You have had an iPhone since you were fashionable, and it is no longer fashionable. So, how do you solve it? There are several alternatives.

To begin, you may purchase a new iPhone. Simply stroll into an AT&T or Apple Store and leave with a brand new iPhone. This is without a doubt the easiest and quickest choice. It is also the most costly. You could have bought an iPhone for as cheap as $99, and you had to sign a 2-year commitment to do so. They will bill you roughly $500 for a new phone now that you are under contract.

You might also have Apple fix it for you. This is a less expensive choice than purchasing a new phone, but it is one of the most expensive ways to repair your phone. You must also be close to an Apple Store. This solution for your broken screen will cost you $199 + sales tax.

The cheapest alternative is to go on eBay and buy a new glass screen for roughly $20 - $30 and install it yourself. A quick eBay search for "iPhone touch screen" reveals a number of different companies offering the touch screen glass. Then, go to YouTube and search for "how to do iPhone x lcd screen replacement," and you'll find a video teaching you how to conduct the repair.

Buying an entire screen assembly - not only the touch screen glass - is a much easier and safer solution for a repair person. This route has two options: Purchase the assembly with the LCD (about $100) or without LCD (around $60). Using one of these techniques eliminates the need for a heat pistol to replace your glass, and you'll be able to complete the repair in approximately 10-15 minutes. A video is worth 10,000 words, so go to YouTube and search for "iphone x lcd screen replacement" to find multiple videos that use this procedure.

The best solution is among the safest and most cost-effective: have a third party fix your iPhone. If you reside in a reasonably sized city, a quick Craigslist search will reveal anyone within driving distance who would do it for less than $100. While you wait, they ought to be able to accomplish it in around 15 minutes.

If you don't even live in a major city, a few companies offer mail-in repairs. Again, this is usually less than $100, but you will be missing your phone for approximately a week. A simple Google search for "Mail in iPhone repair" yields a flood of organisations who provide the service.
