what is the cost to repair an iphone screen?
The cost to repair an iPhone screen usually ranges from about $100 to $400 , depending on your iPhone model, where you get it fixed (Apple vs local shop vs DIY), and whether you have AppleCare+ coverage.
Typical price ranges
- Apple or authorized service:
- Roughly $150–$400 without AppleCare+, with newer Pro/Max models at the top end.
* With AppleCare+, screen-only damage is often around **$25–$30 per incident** in many regions.
- Local / independent repair shops:
- Commonly around $60–$300 , depending on the model and whether they use OEM or aftermarket parts.
- DIY kits:
- Parts and tools typically total about $35–$200 , but risk of mistakes is much higher.
Example model-based costs
- Older models (iPhone SE, 7, 8, XR, 11):
- Third‑party shops often quote roughly $50–$120 in many markets.
- Recent models (iPhone 13–15 series):
- Third‑party shops frequently fall in the $130–$300 range.
* Official Apple pricing is usually **significantly higher** than local shops for the same models.
What affects the final price
- Model and screen type
- OLED Pro/Max screens and newer generations cost more than older LCD models.
- Where you repair
- Apple: higher price, official parts, and warranty.
- Third‑party: cheaper but quality and warranty vary; reviews matter a lot.
- Damage level
- If only the glass is cracked, it’s cheaper than if the display and frame are also damaged or if there are other issues (buttons, cameras, battery, etc.).
Quick rule of thumb
- Budget around $100–$200 for an older or non‑Pro iPhone through a reputable local shop, and $200–$350+ for newer Pro/Max models at Apple or a premium repairer.
- If you have AppleCare+, expect a much lower fixed fee, often in the $25–$30 range per screen repair.
