iPhone Repair

The most common iPhone repairs include screen replacement and battery replacement. Screen repair is often necessary when your iPhone gets cracked glass from a drop or other accident. Battery replacement is often sought as the device gets older and loses battery cycles.

The cost to fix an iPhone depends on the model and the type of repair that is needed. Newer model phones, such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, are often more expensive to repair than older model phones, such as the iPhone 7. Additionally, screen repair and replacements costs are typically more expensive than battery replacements.

Getting your iPhone repaired at an Apple Store is a great option if you have AppleCare. Otherwise consider a quality local repair shop where you can often get your broken iPhone repaired for less money and in less time. Find a local repair shop

The average iPhone is made up of hundreds of parts, with the most common iPhone repairs involving a cracked screen, broken back glass, bad battery, or water damage. Cost for each repair varies according to the iPhone model, parts being replaced, and if it’s an out-of-warranty repair. For iPhones still covered by AppleCare+, prices range from $29 for screen damage, to $99 for any other damage. In the case of older, out of warranty iPhones, it may make more sense to shop for a gently used iPhone on Swappa instead.

iPhone screen repair prices vary depending on each model generation. At Apple, an out of warranty iPhone screen repair costs anywhere between $329 for newer devices like the iPhone 11 Pro Max, to $129 for the iPhone 5C. In most cases, you can save a lot more money on out of warranty iPhone screen repairs by visiting local iPhone repair shops where something like a cracked iPhone 6S Plus screen can be repaired for as little as $59.

Despite most newer iPhones featuring water resistance, they’re still not 100% waterproof and can suffer from water damage under the right conditions. Water damage on an iPhone can affect everything from the microphone, to the speakers, charging port or even Face Unlock. When water damage is present, Apple will not repair individual parts, instead requiring a full phone replacement and can be very costly. Meanwhile, most local repair shops offer free diagnostics and can identify which iPhone parts are in need of repair and charge accordingly.

Another common iPhone repair is the charging port where foreign material can become lodged inside and/or bent connector pins can prevent proper charging using a certified Lightning cable. Most qualified repair shops offer charging port repairs, a complex process involving micro soldering that should be performed by a trained technician. A broken charging port is typically one of the lesser expensive iPhone repairs, with prices often times much lower than cracked screen or broken back glass repairs.
