So you've broken the back glass on your iPhone. I'm sure 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 maximize 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 these damages?
Well, you can take it to the Apple store. We'll save you the trip and tell you what Apple will tell you. Apple does not 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 anywhere from €349 to €599. All for a cracked piece of glass? That's just crazy.
The back glass is glued to the aluminum frame of the iPhone, and removing it is nearly 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 turn in your device to your wireless carrier. 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 actual value.
