However, the repair requires disassembling the device, so it isn&#8217;t recommended for beginners or anyone uncomfortable working with delicate components.<\/p>\n<p>For most repairs, your best option is to purchase a complete screen assembly rather than attempting to replace only the glass or digitizer. Expect to pay between $40 and $350 for a replacement screen, depending on your iPhone model, the quality of the part, and where you purchase it. If you don&#8217;t already have the necessary tools, repair toolkits typically start around $5 to $15.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that most DIY parts suppliers sell aftermarket components rather than genuine Apple parts. While many aftermarket screens work well, display quality, brightness, color accuracy, touch responsiveness, and durability can vary. In addition, opening your iPhone can compromise its water-resistance seals unless they are properly replaced during reassembly.\n<\/p>\n<p>Here are some example replacement screen prices for popular iPhone models. Actual prices vary by supplier, screen quality, and whether you choose an aftermarket or premium replacement display.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #d0d7de;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#ffffff;\">\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px; text-align:left; font-weight:bold;\">Model<\/th>\n<th style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px; text-align:left; font-weight:bold;\">Typical Replacement Screen Cost<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f6f8fa;\">\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$250 &#8211; $350<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 17 Pro<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$220 &#8211; $320<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f6f8fa;\">\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 16 Pro Max<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$220 &#8211; $320<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 16 Pro<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$200 &#8211; $300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f6f8fa;\">\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 15 Pro Max<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$180 &#8211; $280<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 15 Pro<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$170 &#8211; $260<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f6f8fa;\">\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 14<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$80 &#8211; $180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 13<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$70 &#8211; $150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f6f8fa;\">\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 12<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$60 &#8211; $140<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">iPhone 11<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; padding:14px;\">$50 &#8211; $120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Prices reflect replacement screen assemblies only and do not include labor.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>How to Replace a Cracked iPhone Screen<\/h2>\n<p><strong>WARNING:<\/strong> iPhone screen replacement can be challenging, especially if you don&#8217;t have experience repairing electronics.

You can opt for professional repair instead. Local repair shops can often replace your screen in a few hours, either in-store or at your location. Online mail-in repair services take longer, but they\u2019re good options if you don\u2019t have a local repair store.<\/p>\n<p>Expect to pay between $100 and $650 for professional iPhone screen replacement, depending on your model and repair shop. Apple\u2019s own repair service can cost more for newer Pro and Pro Max models, especially without AppleCare+. Apple uses genuine Apple parts, while many repair shops use less expensive aftermarket parts. Some independent repair shops can also offer genuine Apple parts through Apple\u2019s repair programs.<\/p>\n<p>Mail-in repair services typically charge between $100 and $300, but they don\u2019t always list pricing for every repair on their websites. Sometimes, it\u2019s because they haven\u2019t updated their service offering lately, especially if newer devices aren\u2019t listed. Other times, they can make the repair, but it\u2019s too uncommon to stock parts.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the repair is difficult and likely to damage the device, so it\u2019s not profitable for the company to offer it. Or, the required parts are so expensive it\u2019s not worth fixing. Either way, if the repair you need isn\u2019t listed on a repair shop\u2019s website, it\u2019s a good idea to contact them anyway to see if they offer it.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some example professional iPhone screen repair prices.
