Accidental drops are an inevitable part of being a smartphone owner, and with phones carrying more expensive components, cutting-edge display panels, and fragile all-glass bodies — sometimes even a small drop onto the pavement can leave you with a cracked iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than throw the phone away, the smarter thing to do would be to get the phone repaired. This is why it’s important to know what options are available to you and how much repair pricing will set you back. This way you’ll have a better idea of what you can expect to spend should the day come when you need to repair your broken iPhone X<\/strong>, whether it’s a cracked screen, bad battery, or any other type of hardware failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone X screen repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Screen repair is probably the most common type of iPhone repair out there. Whereas broken back glass can be unsightly, a cracked iPhone X screen could cause a host of issues that prevent the display from working properly or obstruct the view. Common issues are a blank screen, what looks like black liquid spilled across the screen or even just colored lines running up and down the screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When trying to figure out how much iPhone X screen repair<\/a> will cost, the first place most people turn to is the Apple Store. Although the Apple Store is great for warranty repairs (AppleCare+), what happens when your Apple warranty runs out? According to\u00a0Apple<\/a>, iPhone X screen replacement with AppleCare+ costs $29, whereas out-of-warranty iPhone X screen repair costs $279<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you decide to go through with an Apple screen repair, you\u2019ll first need to schedule an appointment. This may be easier said than done, with current wait times requiring appointments to be made weeks<\/em> in advance. This means if your iPhone\u2019s screen is completely destroyed or nonfunctional, Apple Store repair may not be the best option for you, especially if you need prompt repair service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking to save both time and money, the\u00a0Swappa Repair Network<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0might be a better fit. While the number of Apple Stores around the country is limited, the Swappa Repair Network helps you find local repair shops with services that are not only faster but oftentimes significantly lower priced than if you went to the Apple Store. With over 2,300 phone repair shops located in 270 metropolitan areas across the US, odds are there\u2019s a Swappa Repair Network shop already in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPHONE X SCREEN REPAIR<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

iPhone X back glass repair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The iPhone X was one of the first Apple phones to introduce wireless charging, a technology that required Apple use glass panels on the back of the phone instead of traditional metal. Because of this feature, the phone was also more fragile, with broken back glass being a common issue whenever the phone was dropped. Having broken back glass isn’t just uncomfortable, but it can compromise the phone’s water resistance, allowing water to creep into the internals, or cause erratic power issues (random reboots for instance). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to broken back glass, Apple says<\/a> you can expect to pay upwards of $549<\/strong>. That’s right. This has to do with the back glass which is glued to the entire housing, requiring the replacement of more than just a simple glass panel. Of course, you can find much more affordable repair options by going with your local repair shop. For instance, using the Swappa Phone Repair Calculator<\/a>, the average price to repair a broken iPhone X back glass is only $121<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With used iPhone X prices averaging $397 on Swappa<\/a>, you could replace the whole phone for less than what Apple would charge you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
