Understanding iPhone Screen Damage
Not all screen damage is created equal. Understanding the type of damage you're dealing with helps determine the right repair approach and cost:
Cracked Glass
The most common type of screen damage. A drop on a hard surface can crack the outer glass while leaving the display underneath still functional. In many cases, only the glass needs replacing.
Dead Pixels
Small black or coloured dots on your display that don't change. These indicate damage to the OLED or LCD panel itself, and typically require a full display replacement.
Touch Response Issues
If parts of your screen don't respond to touch, or register phantom touches, the digitiser layer has been damaged. This often accompanies visible cracks but can occur without them.
LCD/OLED Damage
Visible lines, discolouration, bleeding, or a completely black display with the phone still vibrating/making sounds indicates internal display damage requiring full replacement.

DIY vs Professional Repair
While DIY repair kits are available online, we strongly recommend professional repair for several reasons:
- Risk of further damage — modern iPhones use adhesives and delicate ribbon cables that are easy to damage
- Waterproofing — DIY repairs almost always compromise your phone's water resistance
- No quality guarantee — professional repairs come with guarantees; DIY does not
- Face ID & True Tone — improper screen replacement can disable these features
Preventing Screen Damage
Prevention is always better than repair. Protect your investment with:
- A high-quality tempered glass screen protector
- A case with raised edges to protect the screen from flat drops
- Avoid placing your phone screen-down on rough surfaces
- Don't put your phone in the same pocket as keys or coins
