Everything You Need to Know About iPhone X Screen Repair Costs
The iPhone X originally hit store shelves back in 2017, and it had several important features that made it a desirable smartphone. This was the first time an iPhone had ever offered an OLED screen, which Apple referred to as a “Super Retina HD” display. In addition, the iPhone X was the first model with Face ID, which is now a ubiquitous feature of Apple devices.
If you have scratches or cracks on your iPhone X screen, you’re probably wondering how much you’ll spend to fix it. Whether you pick in-house repairs through Apple or visit an independent repair shop, costs can vary. It’s important to understand the pros and cons of these options to make an informed decision for your iPhone X.
What’s the Cheapest Option for iPhone Screen Repairs?
Technically, the DIY option is the absolute cheapest way you can repair an iPhone X screen, but it’s never a great idea. If you replace your own glass screen, you’ll likely void your warranty and decrease the resale value of your phone — and that’s if everything goes right!
Lots of people appreciate Apple’s first-party repair service, but its prices to fix a broken screen can be quite high. In fact, without AppleCare+, Apple charges $279 to fix a cracked screen on an iPhone X. While prices can be lower for some older iPhones, Apple’s in-house repair team often charges higher prices than other options. That said, it’s hard to deny the effectiveness of Apple’s iPhone Repair and Service team, as these are true experts about each device.
The most affordable option that’s actually advisable is taking your iPhone X to an independent cell phone repair shop. These services can save you hundreds of dollars in some cases while still performing high-quality screen repairs.
We got a few quotes, and the lowest was just $79. While that price is for repairs using third-party components, it’s still a massive savings compared to Apple’s in-house expenses. Even if you pay a surcharge for authentic Apple parts, you’ll still usually only pay a fraction of the price to have a third-party repair service fix your iPhone X.
