Keep reading to learn how much iPhone 8 repair costs and whether you’re better off repairing your phone or getting a cheap iPhone 8<\/a> replacement instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When trying to figure out how much an iPhone 8 screen replacement will cost you, you mostly have two options: either take it to the Apple Store or find a local repair shop to perform repairs. Apple is clear when it comes to their repair pricing, and according to their support page<\/a> an out-of-warranty iPhone 8 screen repair will cost you $149<\/strong> (or $29 with AppleCare+) using genuine Apple parts. Keep in mind that doesn’t factor in their additional site-visit fee, which is only waived you have AppleCare+ still active on your device. <\/p>\n\n\n If you’re looking to save money on iPhone 8 screen repair, local options can be much more affordable. Using the Swappa Phone Repair Calculator<\/strong><\/a>, we can see that the average cost to repair an iPhone 8 screen is around $93<\/strong>. This is taken from a pool of participating Swappa Repair Network shops who’ve provided their pricing information upfront. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s usually pretty easy to tell if your iPhone 8 is experiencing battery issues and may be in need of a replacement. One of the telltale signs is your phone shutting down prematurely before<\/em> the battery ever reaches 0%. At the Apple Store, battery replacement for the iPhone 8 will cost $49<\/strong>. But first, you’ll need to start a service request and make an appointment several weeks ahead of time. <\/p>\n\n\n Alternatively, a local repair shop could be more cost-effective and get the job done quicker than waiting for Apple. According to Swappa Repair Network averages, local repair shops charge about $62 for iPhone 8 battery replacement<\/strong>, around $12 more than the Apple Store pricing. Of course, these are only averages, so we invite you to call your local repair for more accurate pricing. In either case, if you’re in a hurry — or don’t feel like waiting several weeks to bring your iPhone 8 into an Apple Store — most local repair shops offer same-day services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The back glass on the iPhone 8 give the phone the ability to charge wirelessly. It’s certainly convenient, but also means the iPhone 8 is more prone to breakage in the event of a fall. While this may seem like merely a cosmetic issue, broken back glass can cause a number of serious issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the back glass is permanently attached to the main body of the phone, it’s not exactly a simple process to repair. This is why it’s often times more expensive than repairing the screen itself. In fact, Apple says the iPhone 8’s back glass costs $349 to repair<\/strong>, something they classify as “other damage” or a total loss requiring a complete phone replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n On the other hand, local repair shop pricing varies widely when it comes to iPhone 8 back glass repair. This probably has to do with various methods to repair the back glass, for instance, new machinery can actually separate an iPhone’s back glass using a laser. When looking at the Phone Repair Calculator, the average price for iPhone 8 back glass repair is $83 according to local shops in the Swappa Repair Network<\/strong>. That’s significantly less than paying $349 at Apple, and the turnaround time is quicker too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Should the day come when something happens to your iPhone 8 and the screen is broken or the battery needs replacing, you really only have two options: repair the phone<\/strong> or buy another phone<\/strong>. It really comes to figuring out what the repair costs will run, and comparing that to the price of buying another gently used model on Swappa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of an iPhone 8, a broken screen from Apple costs $149 to repair, or somewhere around $93 using local repair shops in the Swappa Repair Network. This means it’s probably a better idea to get a cheap iPhone 8<\/a><\/strong> instead, since prices start at just $148<\/strong>.

For instance, you can get a cheap iPhone SE 2020<\/a><\/strong> for around $205 on Swappa, and that’s a fantastic option for anyone who loves their iPhone 8, but could use an upgraded camera and faster performance.
