How much does an iPhone screen repair cost?

Fixed, transparent prices for every iPhone. Most models offer a choice of a budget LCD panel, a quality aftermarket OLED, or a genuine Apple screen. Where the table says n/a, that option isn’t made for that model. Every price includes parts, labour, testing, return postage and a warranty of up to 12 months. Tap your model for an exact quote.

LCD vs aftermarket OLED vs genuine Apple

Cheapest LCD

A budget LCD panel, the most affordable fix, available on older models (iPhone 11, X series and 8). Recommended as a cheap temporary screen, or to get the phone working for a data transfer before you sell or upgrade. Solid everyday display, though not as deep on blacks or brightness as the original OLED. Carries a 3 month warranty (aftermarket OLED: 12 months).

Best value Aftermarket OLED

High grade aftermarket OLED that matches the original for blacks, brightness and touch. The sweet spot for most repairs. On iPhone 11 and later (not the SE) Settings lists it as “Unknown”, a repair record, not a fault; Apple says it doesn’t stop you using your iPhone. iPhone 8, X, XR, XS and SE show no screen message.

Premium Genuine Apple

Reclaimed genuine Apple panel at this price, with a 3 month warranty because it comes to us used. A brand new Apple screen is available on request, quoted separately, with the same 3 month warranty. Full True Tone, and ProMotion on Pro models. On iPhone 12 and newer a reclaimed panel shows “Used” in Settings; a new one shows “Genuine” once finished with Apple’s Repair Assistant. The closest you can get to factory condition.

What a proper iPhone screen repair actually involves

A screen isn't just glass. A rushed repair can cut corners that show up weeks later, these are the things we get right, and why the repair lasts.

🔬
OLED vs LCD vs genuine, they're not the same

Budget LCDs look washed out and drain battery faster on OLED phones. Quality aftermarket OLED matches the original for blacks and brightness. Genuine Apple panels keep True Tone and (on Pro models) ProMotion 120Hz working; we finish them with Apple’s Repair Assistant where it allows. We tell you which your model needs.

🛡️
A new seal fitted, not skipped

The factory adhesive gasket has to be cleaned off and a new one fitted, or the phone loses much of its water resistance. Some repairs skip this step, we reseal every device. No repair can promise the original factory water rating.

⚠️
Black screen isn't always the screen

A dead or flickering display can be a loose connector or a logic board fault, not the panel. Fitting a new screen wouldn't fix it. We test first, so you never pay for a part you didn't need.

🔧
Face ID & True Tone preserved

The flex cables and ambient light sensor have to be transferred to the new screen correctly, or you lose Face ID or auto brightness. Done right, everything keeps working exactly as before.

Common questions

LCD is the budget option on older models, best as a cheap temporary screen or for a data transfer, and it carries a 3 month warranty. Aftermarket OLED matches the original screen for colour and brightness, suits most repairs, and has the full warranty of up to 12 months. Genuine Apple is a reclaimed Apple panel with full True Tone and a 3 month warranty, because it comes to us used (a brand new one is available on request, quoted separately, also with a 3 month warranty); on iPhone 12 and newer it shows “Used” in Settings. Where a tier shows n/a, it isn’t made for that model, and we'll recommend the best fit.

On iPhone 11 and later (not the SE), yes, Settings lists an aftermarket LCD or OLED as “Unknown”. iPhone 8, X, XR, XS and SE don’t record the screen, so no message. It’s a repair record, not a fault: Apple says it doesn’t stop you using your iPhone, though True Tone and auto brightness may not behave exactly as before. On iPhone 12 and newer a reclaimed genuine Apple panel shows “Used”, and a new one shows “Genuine” once finished with Apple’s Repair Assistant.

Usually, yes, but a black or flickering display can occasionally be a connector or board fault rather than the panel. we check before ordering parts, so you never pay for a screen you didn’t need.

Most screen repairs are done the same day we receive your phone, then returned with free tracked postage: 3 to 5 working days door to door.

LCD, aftermarket OLED or genuine Apple, your choice

On most models you can choose between a budget LCD panel, a cost effective quality aftermarket OLED, and a genuine Apple screen. On iPhone 12 and newer, a genuine panel restores full True Tone (and ProMotion on Pro models); a reclaimed one shows “Used” in Settings, and a new one “Genuine” once finished with Apple’s Repair Assistant. Aftermarket screens show “Unknown” on iPhone 11 and later (not the SE). We explain the trade off clearly and never fit a part without confirming with you first.
