However, figuring out exactly how much you\u2019ll pay isn\u2019t always straightforward because iPhone repair prices vary from store to store. In practice, iPhone screen repair could cost as little as $49 for an older iPhone screen at your <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/repair\">local repair shop<\/a> to upwards of $329 at the Apple Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does-the-Apple-Store-fix-cracked-screens\"><\/span>Does the Apple Store fix cracked screens?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with Apple Store iPhone repair prices. All new iPhones come with one year of warranty coverage from Apple. But according to the terms and conditions, accidental or incidental damage is not covered. In other words, unless you paid extra for an <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/iphone-screen-repair-guide\/#warranty\">AppleCare+ extended warranty<\/a> when you originally bought your iPhone, you\u2019re stuck paying Apple\u2019s costly out-of-warranty repair prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table-condensed table-hover\"><table

vary significantly. And oftentimes, getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/iphones\">replacement iPhone on Swappa<\/a> ends up cheaper than iPhone screen replacement at the Apple Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save-money-on-iPhone-repair\"><\/span>Save money on iPhone repair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, AppleCare isn\u2019t your only option. Third-party repair shops can usually perform similar repairs for less than you\u2019d pay at the Apple Store. In addition, local repair shops generally offer same-day turnaround time for cracked iPhone screen repair, making them a far better option for people who simply can\u2019t live without their phones.<\/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\/iphone-repairs\">IPHONE REPAIR NEAR YOU<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is-it-worth-it-to-repair-an-iPhone-screen\"><\/span>Is it worth it to repair an iPhone screen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last point to consider is whether it\u2019s actually worth it to fix your broken iPhone screen. iPhone screen repair only really makes sense if it\u2019s cheaper than the cost of a replacement device. In general, it\u2019s only really worth repairing newer iPhones with high resale values. On the other hand, if your iPhone is a couple of years old, you are probably better off getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/iphones\">cheap replacement iPhone on Swappa<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to make it easier to determine how much repair will cost and whether it\u2019s worth it, we\u2019ve created the <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/repair\/phone-repair-calculator\">Swappa Repair Calculator<\/a>.
