Repairing it doesn't make economic sense. Apple would charge $329 for the repair, and you'd end up with a device worth about $200-250. A third party might charge less for the labor, but the parts might be hard to find or non-OEM. You could buy a kit for 50 and try to fix it yourself, but it's not easy. I'd just replace it with a newer device that will be supported for a long time. Answer from ChocolateEater626 on reddit.com

r/mobilerepair on Reddit: Which screen brand to go with to replace screen on iPhone XS
November 14, 2022 -

I want to try my hand at replacing iPhone XS screen and I been doing some reading up on the net on how to do it. Look simple enough but there seems to be different type of screen LCD, Hard OLED and Soft OLED.

I am leaning toward to Soft OLED but there so many different brand and everyone know that reviews are often fillers. Can anyone recommend a brand to check out on?

Looking to replace a completely spiderwebbed display on an iphone xs max, the picture is still good under the glass. How much should I expect to pay for this and can I do it myself as a complete novice?

The shell or case may need bent a bit straighter as well, apple refused to repair it and wanted almost $700 for a replacement refurb model.

I don't really care if it isn't perfect I just want a good screen on it to use it as a back up phone. It's a 512gb model and still works great aside from the screen damage.

r/mobilerepair on Reddit: iPhone XS Max replacement OLED...are they all decent quality?
April 9, 2020 -

I recently got my hands on a used iPhone from a friend. I was told it was an XR but it was actually an XS Max (not sure how you mix those up). Anyway, it had some water damage but still worked, and I was taking off the screen to allow the insides to fully dry. During this, a green pixel line popped up in the middle of the display, of course. I'm not sure if this was due to the heat applied to loosen the adhesive or just the suction force of trying to pry the screen up. Anyway, if it doesn't go away when I put it back together once it's dry, I'm going to need a new screen.

I refuse to buy an LCD screen, so I won't even consider those an option. I noticed eBay has a few options for OLED screens, with varying pricing. They all seem to have decent return/warranty options. Is there anything to look for so I know I'm not buying a "junk" OLED replacement? I feel like the best option would be to buy an OEM screen but I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Thanks for the help, sorry if this is against the rules...I am just trying to get some information before I dump $100-$170 on a new screen! I tried looking at the vendorlist thing but not sure how that can be used to find specific screen sales or anything...

February 3, 2022 - Try finding a refurbished one, refurbished displays are apple original but was previously cracked but got the top layer of glass replaced. It's kinda hard to find one like this... ... It’s on the apple website. Out of warranty, screen repair.

So my phone just fell on a corner and there's a sort of small bar of green light coming out when it turns on, as well as a black dot in the corner. After a conversation with my best friend chatgpt, I'm 99% sure it's just the screen that should be replaced. I'm thinking about taking it to a third party repair shop, I'm wondering if I should rely on them to have what I need to repair it as well as how much it should cost for their service.

From my research, get soft oled GX, only downsides are bigger bezels and lower brightness. What about other mfrs? I don't care about true tone.

I've already disassembled the phone because you can't turn off iPhone using only buttons, just restart it so your alarms go off all the time and even after hour of snoozing they were still going off... (disabled siri so couldn't use voice)

Has anyone here had replaced their XS Max screen with oem or off-brand replacement screens? I am trying to get mine replaced.

I am choosing between these brands: YK Suoer Oled, GX Soft Oled, or Smatt Spares lcd screen. Which of these have you tried using?

Any recommendations? Thanks!☺️🤘

October 12, 2025 - For context, the screen replacement only cost me 2,500 (labor and oled). I am planning to go back to the shop as they have 30 days warranty. True tone and Face ID still works though.

Hey guys how has your experience been with 3rd party screen repairs? I’ve got some cracks that I’ve been ignoring for the past few months partially because I didn’t want to invest more money on an old phone. But since I don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon, I found this retailer nearby who changed displays for a pretty reasonable price. Should I expect any issues with a 3rd party display? I’d love to hear you guys’ experiences.

I cracked my own screen. Yeah the guy who repairs phones as a part time job cracked his phone 😭. Been looking at replacement displays and can’t find any less than 250 bucks. Which is crazy expensive when previous models are less than 50. Yes I know it’s OLED but still. Anybody know of display that cost about 150?

March 12, 2022 - You get what you pay for 99% of Amazon and eBay screens are shit but cheap if you want a reputable source see the menu in r/mobilerepair · I would avoid Amazon. Either try injuredgadgets.com Mobilesentrix.com or Mobiledefenders.com
