How much is it to fix the X screen? My phone took a nasty spill today because I don't have Apple care
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
How much is it to fix the X screen? My phone took a nasty spill today because I don't have Apple care
$279 without Apple Care in the US.
Damn!!! Ouch. That's a new apple watch for that price
Haha! I know. That’s why I got it for my X. I usually don’t bother, but with the prices so high I decided to get it.
I'll see what third party prices is like
Do you really want a 3rd party company tearing open a $1000+ phone?
At least you don't have to worry about them messing up the finger print sensor on the X, like you did on previous iPhones.
I have a guy that has a very successful shop that repairs nothing but iPhones and iPads. I trust him and he’s done great work for me on out of warranty phones for me. He uses all actual OEM parts unlike a lot of 3rd party repair shops. His advice is to bite the bullet and go to Apple. If you go 3rd party and they screw it up you really have a problem as now you have voided whatever warranty you had left on your X. Don’t try to cheap out on a $1000 phone.

Unlike he is Apple, he can’t use OEM parts as unauthorized repair shops don’t have access to those.
He can, over, use similar quality ones.
Ok. Let’s put it this way. He has replaced a number of screens, cameras and batteries and I’ve never had an issue. Not the point of my post, but thanks.
My point was not to go to a third party with the iPhone X and that was advice from a reputable third party.
