NGKUR: Broken Phone Screen

[youdontsay]

There's a kiosk at my mall that fixes iPhone screens for $99, I'm sure there might be one where you are too!

Sorry to hear about your phone!

[joy]

I broke the screen on my iPhone 3ish and they said that replacing the screen was as much as a new phone. The design allowed for a new back easily but not a new screen.

They gave me a new phone for free :-)

But, I have to believe they fixed that fault. Glass phone screens are just asking to be broken. Don't get me started on that money grab...

MH has had his fixed a few times, I think for about $80, and they threw in a new case once. He went to a local "gadget guys" type place that does computer repair and stuff like that.
ETA: I also once shattered my old iPhone and at that time it was as expensive to fix as get a new phone, but I do think that has changed.
Also...H broke his by slamming it on the counter bc it wouldn't work fast enough...at which point I smartly said, "well now it really won't work."

I had to look this up recently too: iphone screen repair

$109 for a iphone 6. I think there is a caveat that if it's a "complex case" they may have to send it away and if it doesn't pass inspection after they are done with replacing the screen, they charge a lot more for a replacement (though cheaper than a new phone).

There is also a kiosk in a mall near me that will do it. (Can't remember if you're in Boston, if you are, there is one in the Cambridgeside Galleria).

Is your phone under warranty and/or covered by insurance? If you have insurance, they should just replace it for you. If you take it somewhere else to have the screen fixed, I think it voids the warranty, so if something else were to happen to it, it wouldn't be covered.

I've replaced the screen on my current phone twice now and my old phone twice as well (I know, I need a LifeProof case but just can't bite the bullet)

The first two times I utilized the insurance on my phone and had a new one sent to me. The deductible was about $150. Then, my H broke his phone screen. He didn't have insurance on it (I can't for the life of me remember why) so he had googled phone repair and found a place near us that would replace the glass for $100. Knowing that, I took my iPhone 6 there for both recent instances. It was $125 out the door (the extra $25 was for a tempered glass screen protector) and only took about an hour.

Ill echo that it is apparently very easy to replace yourself. That being said I've always just brought it to a local tech shop I've seen prices railing from 60-100$$. Put a piece of clear tape over it in the mean time so you don't end up with glass bits it your finger/ear/cheek

I fixed my iPhone 6plus screen at the Apple Store.
It took about an hour and I think it was 179$ or something (Canadian)

The Apple store will replace it for something like $109 (in the US). If you bring it to the Apple store it won't void any warranty you have as it would if you brought it to an outside shop. Keep in mind that if you have any liquid damage to your phone the Apple store won't replace the screen and instead will try to make you buy a whole new phone.

Ask Apple if there is a store near by. Usually they charge $109 (plus tax) to fix a broken iPhone 6 screen. If you can't get to an Apple store, you can mail your device in to Apple for a shipping fee of $6.95. If you purchased AppleCare+ ($99 for two years) for your device, you'll only have to pay $79 for a screen repair -- though AppleCare+ only covers two incidents of accidental damage. If you don't have Applecare+ you can choose a reliable supplier like hcqs.com.cn to buy a screen replacement and then let a repair man replace the broken screen for you.
