So you have a broken iPhone screen. Suddenly, you lost your grip, and now you have a cracked iPhone screen staring up at you. When the screen of your phone shatters, it’s hard to know what to do.
Today, there are so many repair options available. Moreover, if your phone is so old (more than 6 years old?) that Apple has completely stopped supporting it with updates, it might not even be “worth” repairing. Still, it’s always good to know your options. It’s your phone, and you have choices.
Let’s take a look at what to do when you crack your iPhone screen and want to repair it! Remember, when you need tech repair on the go, HAILaGEEK is there to help.
Open up www.hailageek.com (on a computer) or the HAILaGEEK app (on another phone?) to hail a trusted HAILaGEEK technician in your area! They can meet you at home, work, or even your favorite coffee shop. While you take care of whatever you need to do, we’ll take care of your phone.
When you have a broken iPhone screen to deal with, it’s important to remember that you’re handling sharp glass. When a screen shatters or even just cracks, there are shards of glass that poke out.
After you drop and crack your screen, the last thing you want to do is cut open your hand. No one wants a trip to the emergency room over a phone!
In the event that your iPhone screen shatters visibly, use a piece of clear packing tape and apply it to the screen. This helps to keep everything in place. More importantly, it keeps your fingers safe. The touch screen will still work (somewhat) through the tape. (If the screen just has a minor crack or two, it might be safe to skip the tape).
Now you have some time to find out whether you need to replace the screen or can continue to use it.
Next, it’s time to see just how bad the damage is. How broken is the phone screen? Is it a single hairline crack in the glass cover? Does it kind of look like a spiderweb?
More importantly, is it shattered entirely? Does the LCD display still work?
When the damage is minor, and all or mostly to the screen, it usually means there’s a quick fix or replacement option available.

As the owner of an iPhone, you have a few different options. In fact, it can be overwhelming when all you want is a quick, convenient repair. Let’s walk through a few of them to help you narrow things down.
When you have AppleCare+, fixing a broken screen usually costs about $29. Without that insurance, though, a screen replacement performed by Apple can cost anywhere from $100-300. That’s just for a broken iPhone screen.
If there’s additional damage to the phone, such as a dent in the frame, the repair costs even more. Without AppleCare+, your bill starts to skyrocket, and in many cases, Apple will decide the phone is unrepairable.
Still, if you have AppleCare+, using it is probably your least expensive option. If you don’t have AppleCare+, need a faster fix, or Apple says the device cannot be repaired, be sure to consider your other options. Despite what you may be told about your phone, many times, a phone that Apple won’t repair under AppleCare (or at all) can be repaired easily by a 3rd party shop.
There are some mail-in repair services that are available to fix cracked iPhone screens. When you live far out from a city and want to save money, this is an option to consider.
For many people, though, this option takes far too long. In some cases, returns take over a week. When was the last time you went a week without your phone?
For tech-savvy readers or those with friends who love to fix devices, there’s the option to repair the screen yourself. However, most people don’t feel too comfortable with this.
When you try to repair an iPhone, it’s a fairly delicate process. There are so many small components that you have to deal with. That means it’s too easy to make a mistake or leave something out of place. If one of the small, very delicate cables gets a slight tear, it can leave you phoneless until you replace the screen professionally or buy a new phone. In some cases, damaging the wrong fragile cable can cause a particular feature of your phone to be disabled in a way that it cannot ever be re-enabled. You read that right: there are some things in an iPhone that can’t be replaced if they are damaged during a repair.
Additionally, you’ll need a special toolkit in order to open your phone in the first place. Moreover, when a DIY fix goes wrong, Apple isn’t there to bail you out. When they learn you opened up your phone to replace a cracked screen, they often won’t even touch your phone.
Even the techs at the Genius Bar make mistakes, as any human can. Sometimes, more problems occur in the back room of an Apple Store than people realize.
The potential for issues coupled with the cost of the toolkit and replacement screen is enough for most pros to tell you that fixing it yourself isn’t worth the risk.
When it comes to solutions for a broken iPhone screen, most people don’t realize this is an option! It works well for many iPhone users, though. With HAILaGEEK, we send a highly-skilled, certified technician straight to you with the necessary replacement screen and/or other parts your iPhone needs.
Then, they simply repair your phone on the spot. In many cases, if you’d like, the technician will do the work while you watch. What’s more convenient and fun than that?
Come-to-you repairs also tend to be the same price, or even less, than Apple repairs and repairs by walk-in shops. Moreover, they are vastly more convenient. Instead of leaving you wandering around a shopping center while you wait, we send someone to you. That means there’s no interruption to your daily routine.
If you have a broken iPhone screen to deal with, there’s no need for added stress! Hop on the HAILaGEEK app or website and have a trusted technician head your way.
When you need iPhone repair on the fly, our trusted technicians are available to meet you at a convenient location. With a cracked screen, the problem is usually clear, simple, and straightforward, so there’s no need for a diagnostic exam.

We know that accidents happen! Experiencing an iPhone drop is usually just a matter of time. When it happens, though, you need reliable tech repair to provide a high-quality, convenient repair. If you have a broken iPhone screen, you have two main repair options.
• Glass repair
• LCD repair
The glass on the front protects the screen, so it can break on its own, and simply looks like broken glass. Your LCD screen controls what you see on your phone. When this breaks, it usually either looks totally blank or like a bunch of pixelated lines, strange color bars and lines, etc.
No matter the model iPhone you have, we have the know-how to fix your screen. Whether you need an iPhone 6 screen replacement, an iPhone X screen replacement, or a screen replacement on the latest iPhone, we have the experience and expertise you need.
If you need an iPhone screen repair service near you, there’s nothing more convenient than a tech that comes to you!
