Replacement screens are not all the same. This guide helps you ask the right questions before you say yes. We come to you at home, at work or in your car.
1. OLED and LCD: two ways to make light
OLED pixels make their own light. Blacks are deep and colors are rich. LCD screens use a backlight. They cost less and can look a bit flatter. Your phone came with one or the other. Both types exist as replacement parts.
2. What "rebuilt" or "refurbished" means
A rebuilt screen is an original panel with new outer glass. It is not a third kind of screen. Ask what was kept and what was changed.
3. What can change with a new screen
- Brightness. Some low-cost parts are dimmer outdoors.
- Color and smoothness. An LCD in an OLED phone looks different. Some parts lose the smooth scrolling.
- Touch. Low-cost parts can miss taps near the edges.
- Battery life. An LCD in an OLED phone can use more power.
- iPhone notes. Some screens turn off True Tone or show an "Unknown Part" note in Settings. Apple explains it in its note on the Unknown Part message.
4. Four questions to ask anyone who fixes phones
- Which part will you use: OLED, LCD or rebuilt?
- What will change: brightness, touch, True Tone?
- Will you test Face ID, the cameras and the sensors before and after?
- What is the total price, and what does the warranty cover?
Ask us these when you get your free quote. We use quality aftermarket parts, not Apple or Samsung factory parts. They are made by other companies and cost less. We tell you your options with the quote. The price depends on your model and where you are. You pick the part, and you hear the price before we start.
5. Face ID and sensors
Face ID lives in the sensors, not the glass. Check it, the cameras and the other sensors before any repair, and again after. We cannot promise a new screen brings Face ID back if a sensor was already damaged.
Our screen repairs come with a 60-day limited warranty on the replaced part and our work.
Part options vary by model.
