What changes the price

Your model

Newer and larger iPhones use bigger, more advanced OLED panels, and those parts simply cost more. That is the main reason a 16 Pro Max costs more to fix than an 11.

The type of screen you choose

For many models there is more than one screen option, from genuine to good-value replacements. They all restore touch and display, but differ in colour accuracy, brightness, thickness and battery use. OLED vs LCD screens explains the difference in plain words.

What else is damaged

If the phone was dropped hard, the back glass or camera lens may also be cracked. I check everything when I arrive and confirm the price before starting, so there are no surprises.

Is it worth fixing?

For most iPhones from the last five or six years, yes. A screen repair costs a fraction of a new phone, and you keep your data, apps and settings exactly as they were. If your battery is also tired, doing both in one visit is good value. Here's how to tell if the battery needs replacing.

What to do before the repair

• Back up the phone to iCloud or a computer if it still works.
• If glass is splintering, put clear tape over it so it doesn't cut your finger.
• Stop using it if the screen is flickering wildly or the phone is getting hot, and get it checked.

Good to know

On newer iPhones, Settings may show an “unknown part” notice after a screen replacement. This is normal for replacement parts and does not affect function or how your phone works.
