How Much Cost To Fix A Broken iPhone 7 Screen?
The cost to fix iPhone these days has become really affordable. My
iPhone 7 has a cracked screen and the battery doesn’t last too long. I called Apple to get a quote for iPhone 7 screen repair and was told $149, they were the most expensive by far. True, they use original parts but is it worth it? I got a quote from a third party repair store near me and they were less than half the price. I thought this was crazy but the tech explained it to me this way.
Broken iPhone 7 Screen Repair Apple vs Third Party
First, Apple is not in the business of repairing phones, instead they want to sell you one. They will find every excuse not to fix your phone. If there is any sign of water damage they won’t touch it. Second, the rate they charge to fix your device is close to the cost to buy a used one. They offer them for sale as refurbished but they aren’t cheap.
Where To Repair iPhone 7 Screen?
After shopping around I decided to get my broken iPhone 7 screen fixed at a third party repair facility. My iPhone 7 needed a new screen and a new battery. The total costs less than a fifth of the price of a new iPhone 10. Even with the new iPhone 11’s due in September it was a no brainier. The new operating system will still work with the iPhone 7 so I’ll be able to keep all my apps. The tech said if I had the 6 series it would have made more sense to upgrade to a 7 or an 8. The new operating system will only work on an iPhone 7 or newer.
