If your in the Antrim area and you need your phone fixed this shop is sharing real advice and it stands out to me because 99% of shops fit cheep screens and back glass knowing you be back.
Is your iPhone back glass broken?
Don’t fix it… ❌
Well… not if you’re planning to replace it with cheap copy glass 😅
I’ll be honest with you — we’re currently witnessing a bit of a “cracked back glass apocalypse” on iPhones.
And there’s a reason for it…
👉 Most repair shops use cheap copy glass or copy housing + glass
Both options are usually just a waste of your money.
Why?
Because your original glass is glued on very strong from factory.
And most importantly — you simply can’t buy original-quality glass on its own (long story, won’t go into that now 😅)
So when someone does a “glass-only repair”, they have to:
– heat the phone up A LOT 🔥
– soften the glue
– and then remove your broken glass piece by piece
This process can go up to very high temperatures, and during that process…
👉 internal components can get damaged
👉 flex cables can weaken
👉 it’s just a bit of a mess, to be honest
Yes — it’s cheaper.
But there’s a reason for that.
And the new glass they put on?
Costs them a couple of pounds… and the durability is nowhere near original.
👉 Real talk:
Your cracked original glass is much stronger than a brand new cheap copy 😬
Pay cheap, pay twice (or three times 😅)

⚠️ One more thing:
Broken back glass is not always just cosmetic.
– small glass pieces can get inside your phone
– they can damage internal parts (even battery)
– and your phone becomes more vulnerable to moisture & liquid damage
⸻
😅 And yeah… I know people don’t always listen to my advice anyway…
Still putting water-damaged phones in rice for a month 🤯
…and only then asking for a repair when everything inside is already corroded 🤦♂️

*On the picture:
iPhone 13 mini that came to us for a back glass replacement.
The previous repair used a non-genuine back glass and frame. The owner had no idea. The glass was simply falling off the frame by itself.
This never happens with an original Apple back glass. Even when the original glass is badly cracked, it creates the typical “spider web” pattern, but the glass stays firmly attached to the frame.
We repaired the phone by replacing the entire housing with a 100% genuine Apple back glass and frame.
