iPhone 8 screen replacement cost<\/h2>\n

People often think getting a screen repaired will be expensive and time-consuming. Sure, that can be the case in some instances, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. In fact, you should be able to get an iPhone 8 screen repaired for under $100. And, when you look towards a local repair shop you can often get the screen replaced the same day.<\/p>\n

If you have AppleCare or AppleCare+ it makes sense to look towards Apple and get the repair done under warranty. But Apple stopped selling the iPhone 8 in April 2020, so there is a good chance that any repair work being done in 2021 will be out-of-warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n

Apple currently charges $149 for an out-of-warranty iPhone 8 screen replacement. At first thought, the Apple out-of-warranty price point may not sound bad, but current estimates from the Swappa Phone Repair Calculator show you will be able to get your screen replaced for $89, which is a savings of $60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other aspect to consider is time. Apple has less than 300 retail locations across the United States. The Swappa Repair Network has over 2,400 shops. Essentially, this means you have a much better chance of getting to a local repair shop. While each shop listed in the Swappa Repair Network is independent and sets its own schedules and timelines — many are able to offer same-day repair services, often repairing your phone within an hour or two.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is iPhone 8 screen repair worth it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fixing your screen is the most important aspect, obviously, but you should also consider the overall value of the phone when you are trying to decide if iPhone 8 screen repair is worth it. The $149 iPhone 8 screen repair cost that Apple charges are obviously not worth it because you can get a used iPhone 8<\/a> on Swappa for about the same price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
