Before you spend money on a phone repair, let’s make sure you’re choosing the option that’s right for you.
One of the first questions I’ll ask is:
Do you have AppleCare+, carrier insurance, or another protection plan?
If you do, I usually recommend checking with them first. In many cases, your deductible may be less than paying out of pocket for a repair using genuine Apple parts.
If you want a genuine Apple display, I can absolutely source one. However, genuine parts are typically much more expensive than quality aftermarket options, and labor is added on top of the part cost. Depending on your insurance coverage, using your protection plan may save you a significant amount of money.
If insurance isn’t an option, don’t worry—you still have choices.
There are several grades of aftermarket screens available. They aren’t all the same. Some are budget-friendly, while others offer performance much closer to the original display. My goal is to explain the differences honestly so you can decide what makes the most sense for your budget and how you use your phone.
I’m not here to sell you the most expensive repair.
I’m here to help you make the most informed decision.
If you ever have questions about your phone, even if you’re not sure what route to take, send me a message. I’m always happy to help.
