How much will an iPhone X screen repair cost? Apple now has the answer
If you intend to buy an iPhone X (now that it'savailable to pre-order), perhaps you should first know that repairing its 5.8-inch Super Retina screen will be a pricey affair. Of course, the new smartphone itself is expensive,being offered for $999 (64 GB) or $1,149 (256 GB), so we're not surprised tofind out that repairing it will be anything but cheap.
According to Apple, a single iPhone X screen repair costs $279,while repairs for "other damage" will cost users a whopping $549. To be clear, theseare prices for screen and overall damages that are not covered by Apple'sstandard 1-year warranty. Here's exactly what Apple has to say about this:
- You need to replace your screen due to accidental damage ormishandling. Accidental damage isn't covered by the Apple warranty
- Your iPhone screen gets broken while it's still underwarranty and you don't have AppleCare+ coverage
- Your screen stops working and your iPhone isn't covered bythe Apple warranty, consumer law, or AppleCare+
- If your iPhone has additional damage that's not limited tothe screen, see the "Other damage" fees
Compared to repair prices of other iPhone models (including the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus), pricesfor the brand new iPhone X are - obviously - significantly higher:
You can avoid these high repair fees if you subscribe toApple Care+, which costs $199 for the iPhone X, and extends its warranty to twoyears. Under Apple Care+, you can repair your iPhone X's screen for $29 (limited to 2 repairs),while other damage repairs cost $99.
