The Cost of iPhone X Screen Repair at Apple Store and Third-Party Service Providers

When it comes to repairing a cracked iPhone X screen, the cost can vary significantly depending on where you go and whether you have AppleCare. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the costs and options available.

Apple Store Pricing

As of my last knowledge update in August 2023, repairing a cracked iPhone X screen at an Apple Store typically cost around $199 if you didn't have AppleCare. If you did have AppleCare, the cost was significantly reduced, usually around $29 for a screen repair.

It's important to note that prices can vary based on location and potential changes in Apple's pricing policies. Always check with your local Apple Store or the Apple website for the most up-to-date pricing.

Additional Repair Costs

If the display is not damaged, you can opt for a top glass replacement. However, since Apple won't help with this alone, you'll need to contact a third-party service provider. According to ShatterFix India, the cost for a top glass replacement for an iPhone X is approximately 4999 INR (around $65 USD). If the entire screen, including the touch and display, needs to be replaced, the cost can range from 8999 INR (around $113 USD) to 12,000 INR (around $152 USD).

Screen Replacement Costs from Authorized Apple Service Centers

When replacing a screen at an Apple Authorized Service Center, prices can range significantly. An iPhone X OLED screen, typically, costs around 24,000 INR (around $300 USD) when there is no liquid damage, no service outside authorized service centers, and no bent frame. If the issue is just with the glass and not the entire screen, a third-party repair service can provide a top glass replacement for around 2,000 to 3,000 INR (around $25 to $37 USD).

Third-Party Screen Replacement Options

If you choose to get a complete screen replacement from a third-party repair shop, you have several options. Here are the approximate costs:

Authentic Refurbished OLED Display: This option is ideal if you want to replace the entire screen with an original-quality OLED display. The cost can range from 10,000 to 12,000 INR (around $130 to $155 USD). Non-Original Display with Thick OLED and Brittle Quality: This is a more affordable option but with lower quality. The cost can range from 7,000 to 8,000 INR (around $91 to $105 USD). IPS Screen (Not Recommended): This is the cheapest option but not recommended due to the limitations with the motherboard. The cost can range from 4,000 to 5,000 INR (around $52 to $65 USD).

Note that the IPS screen is not recommended as the motherboard is not designed for it, which can lead to issues with the screen and other components.

Special Cases

If you damage the back glass of your iPhone X, you'll face a much higher cost. Apple will replace the entire body of your phone, which can cost between 40,000 to 50,000 INR (around $515 to $645 USD).

It's important to always seek professional help to repair your iPhone X. While it might be tempting to look for cheaper third-party screens, it's crucial to ensure the quality of the product. Nonsource screens can lead to further damage and complications.
