It depends mostly on your model and the type of screen you choose. Our iPhone screen repairs start at $94.99 for a budget LCD panel, and OLED panels, which are closest to the original, cost more. Newer and larger models cost more because their displays cost more. You'll always see the exact price for your model before any work starts.
What you're actually paying for
A screen repair is mostly the cost of the part plus the time it takes to fit it properly. On modern iPhones the glass, touch layer and display are one fused assembly, so even if only the glass is cracked, the whole assembly is replaced.
Labor covers more than swapping the panel. A careful technician moves over the earpiece and sensor assembly so Face ID keeps working, preserves True Tone where the model allows it, replaces the adhesive seal, and tests touch, brightness and the sensors afterwards.
1. Your model
This is the biggest factor. Newer, larger and Pro models use more expensive displays, often with higher refresh rates and brighter panels. An older iPhone with an LCD screen is usually the cheapest to repair.
If you're not sure which model you have, open Settings → General → About and look at Model Name.
2. OLED or LCD
If your iPhone came with an OLED screen (every iPhone 12 and later, plus the X, XS and 11 Pro models), you can usually choose between an OLED replacement and a cheaper LCD one.
- OLED is closest to the original: true blacks, accurate color, and better battery life. OLED screens cost more than LCD; you'll see the exact price for your model when you book.
- LCD is the budget option. It works well but looks a little duller and can sit slightly higher in the frame. Ours start at $94.99.

3. Part quality
Not all replacement screens are equal, even within the same type. Original panels, flexible "soft" OLEDs and rigid "hard" OLEDs all exist at different prices. A cheap quote can mean a cheap part with worse color, weaker touch response or a shorter life. Ask which part you're getting, and whether the warranty covers it.
Ask about the warranty on the screen itself, too. Some shops only cover their labor, not the part. Ours covers parts and labor for 90 days.
4. Anything else that's broken
Sometimes a drop damages more than the screen. A bent frame, a damaged display connector or a cracked back can add to the job. A proper diagnosis catches this before any work begins, so the price you approve is the price you pay. Our diagnosis is free.
Fix it now or live with it?
It's tempting to put off a cracked screen when the phone still works. Small cracks rarely stay small, though. Glass under stress keeps spreading, edges can chip and cut fingers, and moisture and dust get in through the cracks. If the display underneath gets damaged, a cheaper fix can turn into a bigger one.
Waiting can be reasonable when:
- It's a tiny chip at the edge that isn't spreading, on a phone you'll replace soon.
- Only the screen protector is cracked, not the screen. Peel up a corner to check.
- The display and touch still work perfectly and you're about to upgrade.
If touch starts acting up, lines appear, or the crack spreads across the display, it's time to fix it. A screen protector on the new screen is the cheapest insurance against doing this again.
How to get a fair, exact price
- Know your exact model.
- Decide whether you want OLED or LCD if your phone offers both.
- Ask what's included: warranty, True Tone, testing and a new adhesive seal.
- Get the final price confirmed before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my iPhone screen repair more expensive than my friend's?
Different models use very different displays. Newer, larger and Pro models cost more to repair, and an OLED replacement costs more than an LCD one.
Is a cheaper screen repair worth it?
Sometimes, if you're getting a quality LCD on an older phone you'll replace soon. But very cheap quotes often mean a low-grade part, so ask which panel you're getting and how long the warranty is.
Do I pay if the screen isn't the problem?
No. We diagnose first. If it turns out to be something else, we'll explain and quote that instead, and you only pay for repairs you approve.
