Screen Repair vs Full Replacement -- Which Do You Need?

When your iPhone screen cracks, you have two options: repairing just the glass or replacing the entire screen assembly. Here is how to know which one you need.

Glass-Only Repair

If the LCD display works fine (no black spots, color lines, or dead pixels), you may only need a glass replacement. This is cheaper but not all repair shops offer it. Most replace the full assembly for reliability.

Full Screen Assembly

If you see colored lines, black spots, flickering, or the touch does not respond, the LCD/OLED is damaged. A full screen assembly replacement is needed. This includes the glass, digitizer, and display.

Our Recommendation

We always recommend full assembly replacement for the most reliable result. A glass-only repair has a higher risk of issues later. Our full assemblies come with a 30-day warranty.
