Is it cheaper than picking up a used iPhone XR<\/span> replacement? And, should you spend the money on the repair, or should you put that money towards an upgrade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e7e7e7\"><strong><em>Read more: <\/em><\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/broken-screen-repair-cost\/\">How much does it cost to repair a broken phone screen?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does iPhone XR screen replacement cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve gotten past the initial shock and sadness of having broken your phone, you should begin figuring out how much the repair will cost. There are several factors at play when it comes to the cost. Repair pricing can vary from shop to shop, and even from market to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common first reaction may be to visit your local Apple Store. But Apple has fewer than 300 locations across the country so not everyone will have an Apple retail store near where they live. Not to mention, you may be setting yourself up to pay more, and also wait longer for the repair to be completed. Instead, we recommend looking for a local repair shop. You will likely save time and money if you go with a local option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a local repair shop using the Swappa Repair Network. And with shops listed across the country, you shouldn\u2019t have much trouble finding a shop that is close to where you live. Now that we\u2019ve covered the time aspect, how about we shift to the money aspect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/repair\">SWAPPA REPAIR NETWORK<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As of September 2023, Apple charges $199 for an out-of-warranty iPhone XR screen replacement. According to the Swappa Phone Repair Calculator, the current average for an out-of-warranty iPhone XR screen replacement is $127. The bottom line here is that you\u2019re not only looking at the possibility of getting your screen replaced in a few hours time, but you are also going to save about $70 by choosing the Swappa Repair Network of trusted repair shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/repair\/phone-repair-calculator\">SWAPPA REPAIR CALCULATOR<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1746\" height=\"1038\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/iphone-xr-screen-repair-swappa-repair-calculator.png\" alt=\"Swappa Repair Network iPhone Xr screen repair replacement cost\" class=\"wp-image-27760 img-responsive\"\/><figcaption>Swappa Repair Network &#8211; iPhone Xr screen repair replacement cost<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/guide\/apple-iphone-xr\/repair\">SWAPPA IPHONE XR REPAIR GUIDE<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the iPhone XR screen repair cost worth it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how much it will cost to get an iPhone XR replacement screen, you are probably moving on to that follow-up question, which is whether you should spend the money on the repair, or whether you should put that money towards a new phone. It doesn\u2019t really make sense to fix a cracked screen if the repair cost is close to the phone\u2019s value. This is where the <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/\">Swappa Marketplace<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/repair\">Swappa Repair Network<\/a> can assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current starting pricing for a used iPhone XR sits at around $175. Since the amount of internal storage does not change the cost of a screen replacement &#8212; we can look back at the repair cost. As we noted earlier, Apple charges $199, and the current average price from a local repair shop is $127.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"apple-iphone-xr\" data-section=\"mobile\"><div class=\"swp_subscription hidden-xs\" style=\"position:relative;;z-index:100\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:20px;position:absolute;right:20px;top:7px\" alt=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"hidden-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:16px;top:2px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-xr#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"swp-wgt\"><div class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_config\" class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_device\"><div class=\"swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_device_select\"><div class=\"swp-left\"><div style=\"height:60px;;width:60px;\" class=\"swp-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Product Image\" id=\"swp_device_img\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/26\/1e\/261ed909a926f03875f4be3b2c5f3ddb.png\"\/><\/div><div style=\"margin:10px 0;\" class=\"swp-right img-responsive\"><div id=\"swp_device_name\" class=\"swp-title\" style=\"padding-left:  7px;\">Apple iPhone Xr<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_options\" class=\"swp_options_select\"><div class=\"swp-size swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_options_select\" style=\"height:76px;\"><div class=\"swp-left\" style=\"margin:10px 10px auto;\"><div id=\"swp_opt2_name\" class=\"swp-title\">Unlocked<\/div><div id=\"swp_opt1_name\" class=\"swp-muted\">64<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-down\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Device Options Select\" width=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/static\/widget\/caret-down.svg\"\/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_options_select\" class=\"swp_select_options img-responsive\" style=\"width:184px;display:none;\"><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">CAPACITY<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 8px;\"><div style=\"overflow-x:overlay;;width:100%;\"><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">NETWORK<\/div><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_price\" class=\"swp-row\" style=\"width:200px;position:relative;\"><div id=\"swp_col_start_at\" style=\"width:85%;\"><div class=\"swp-col-50 swp-left\">LISTINGS<br\/> START AT<\/div><div class=\"swp-col-50\"><span id=\"swp_price\">180<\/span><\/div><hr class=\"swp-dotted\" style=\"width:100px;\"\/><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_buy\" style=\"width:100%;\"><a class=\"swp-buy swp-button swp-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-xr\">SHOP NOW ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swp_subscription visible-xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:18px;position:absolute;right:9px;top:0px\" alt=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"visible-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:4px;top:0px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-xr#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone Xr\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at these numbers, we find that a screen replacement from Apple on a 64GB model (at $199) means the repair would cost more than it would to replace the phone with a gently used model from Swappa. Compare that to the average iPhone XR repair cost of $127 using the Swappa Repair Network, which equates to spending about $70 less if you were to use Apple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending less on repair not only means keeping more money in your pocket right now. But spending less (percentage-wise) as compared to the phone\u2019s value also brings the possibility of getting more money in return if you decide to sell the phone and upgrade to something newer in the future. And, some of that money you save by using a local repair shop could also be used to pick up an iPhone XR screen protector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eceff1\">Looking to upgrade and don&#8217;t know what to get?
