So you've broken the back glass on your iPhone. I bet you didn't even know it was glass until it broke. It's a bit of a silly design in our opinion, but Apple doesn't design devices for practical repair purposes. They design them to maximise aesthetics. We also have a hunch that the glass was used to better support wireless charging on all the newer models.

In any case, what are your options with this damage?

Well, you can take it to the Apple Store. We'll save you the trip and tell you what Apple will tell you. Apple doesn't repair the back glass. They will simply offer to replace the entire device, even if this is the only problem. A replacement device through Apple will cost you between 349 and 599 euros. All for a cracked piece of glass? That's just crazy.

The back glass is glued to the aluminium frame of the iPhone, and removing it is almost impossible even with fairly intense heat. This is one of the main reasons why this repair is not offered by Apple, wireless carriers, or even most repair shops.

This is our new machine:

With the help of this machine, we can offer this repair at a much more reasonable price:

• iPhone 8/8 Plus, XR, X, XS, XS Max: 80-85 €.
• iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE 2020, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max: $75-120

This is especially useful if you want to hand in your device to your mobile operator. Repairing the back glass greatly increases the trade-in value of your iPhone. With a broken back glass, your iPhone is only worth a small fraction of its real value.

The above procedure takes between 4 and 6 hours. If you are interested, feel free to drop by at any time during our business hours. If you are too far away from our repair shop in Madrid, feel free to mail it to:

C/Bravo Murillo 122 Local 95.

We will repair your device the same day and send it back the next morning.
