Glass replacement vs Full Assembly replacement for iPhone. How to save money if your LCD is still working.
iPhone Screen Repair: Glass vs LCD
Did you know there are two types of screen damage? Understanding the difference can save you hundreds of Ringgit.
1. Glass Only Damage (Cheaper)
If your screen is cracked but:
- The touch works perfectly.
- There are no lines, black spots, or color bleeding.
- The display looks normal.
Then you might be eligible for Glass Refurbishment. This involves specialized machinery to slice the broken glass off and bond a new one, keeping your original Apple LCD/OLED panel.
2. LCD/Display Damage (Standard Price)
If you have:
- Green/Pink vertical lines.
- "Touch disease" (touch not responding).
- Black ink-like spots.
You need a Full Assembly Replacement.
Price Comparison (Estimates)
| Model | Glass Only Repair | Full Assembly (OLED) |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 13 Pro Max | RM 450 | RM 900+ |
| iPhone 14 Pro | RM 550 | RM 1,200+ |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | RM 700 | RM 1,500+ |
True Tone & Face ID Warning
Swapping an iPhone screen is complex.
- Face ID: Linked to the earpiece/sensorflex. If a clumsy technician tears this, Face ID is gone forever. We take extreme care here.
- True Tone: Requires a programmer tool to copy serial data from old screen to new. We always do this.
- "Unknown Part" Message: On iPhone 11 and newer, a non-Apple serialized screen will show a message. This does NOT affect performance, just a settings notification.
