If you have cracked an iPhone screen, the first question is usually simple: how much will it cost to fix? The answer depends on the exact iPhone model, the display option available for that model and whether the damage is limited to the screen.
This guide uses Fonebook's live repair catalogue as a real UK example. Prices below were checked on 23 September 2026 and are starting prices, so always check the current iPhone screen repair price for your exact model before booking.

Why does iPhone screen repair cost vary so much?
1. The iPhone model
An iPhone 11 display is not the same part as an iPhone 16 Pro display. Size, display technology, connector layout and part availability all affect the repair option and price.
That is why a useful quote should start with the exact model rather than simply saying "iPhone screen".
2. The screen-quality option
Some Fonebook model pages offer more than one screen option. For example, the current iPhone 16 page lists both an LCD option and a Soft OLED option.
The lower-priced option can make sense when budget matters. An OLED option may be preferable for someone who wants display characteristics closer to the technology used by many newer iPhones. The important point is to compare the actual option, not only the headline price.

3. Cracked glass is not the only possible damage
A phone can have:
- cracked outer glass while the picture and touch still work;
- black areas or coloured lines;
- flickering;
- no display;
- touch that works only in some areas;
- damage around the frame after a heavy impact.
A screen assembly replacement may solve many display faults, but a severe impact can also damage other parts. If the symptoms do not clearly point to the screen, choose a diagnosis rather than ordering the wrong repair.
4. Manufacturer cover or insurance can change what you pay
Apple provides in-person and postal repair routes and says the device may need inspection before the final service fee is confirmed. AppleCare cover can also change the amount a customer pays for accidental damage.
So before paying privately, check whether you have AppleCare, mobile-phone insurance, bank-account phone cover or another policy that applies.
5. The cheapest quote is not always like-for-like
When comparing repair prices, ask what is actually included:
- What display type or grade is being fitted?
- Is the quoted price for your exact model?
- Is labour included?
- What repair time is expected?
- What warranty applies to the fitted part?
- Will the phone be tested after the repair?
A £10 difference is less useful if the two quotes are for different screen technologies or different warranty terms.
LCD vs OLED: what should you choose?
There is no single answer for every customer.
If a supported model has multiple choices, think about how long you plan to keep the phone, how important display quality is to you and what you want to spend. Fonebook shows the configured part-quality option on the model page so you can compare before booking.
For example, Fonebook's iPhone 16 page currently shows a CIDOS FHD+ LCD screen at £72 and a CIDOS Soft OLED option at £82, both with an estimated 45-minute repair time at the time of writing.
The live model page should always take priority over an older article because repair catalogue prices can change.
Apple repair, mail-in or a local repair shop?
Each route has a place.
Apple or an Apple Authorised Service Provider may suit customers who want Apple's own service route or have relevant AppleCare cover.
Mail-in repair can be useful when there is no suitable repair option nearby, but you need to allow for shipping and time without the phone.
A local repair shop can be convenient when speed matters and you want to discuss the part choice before work begins. Fonebook shows prices and estimated repair times online for configured repairs, and customers can book a repair online or make a walk-in enquiry.
Before handing over your iPhone
If the phone still works, make a current backup before any repair. A screen replacement normally should not require your data to be erased, but a backup protects you if the phone has suffered more damage than the broken glass suggests.
Also tell the technician if you noticed anything else after the impact, such as:
- Face ID not working;
- the phone restarting;
- cameras shaking or failing;
- the frame being bent;
- charging problems;
- unusual heat.
Those details can help separate a straightforward screen replacement from a wider fault.
Is it worth fixing a cracked iPhone screen?
Often it is worth getting a quote before replacing the whole phone.
Compare:
- the screen repair cost;
- the phone's current value;
- battery condition;
- any other faults;
- how long you want to keep it.
If the phone is otherwise reliable, a screen repair can be much less disruptive than setting up another device. If the phone has several expensive faults, the decision may be different.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an iPhone screen repair cost?
There is no single UK price for every iPhone. At Fonebook, supported iPhone screen options currently start from £37.50, while newer models and different display qualities cost more. Check the exact model for today's price.
Can I use an iPhone with a cracked screen?
A small crack may leave the phone usable, but cracks can spread and sharp glass can become a problem. If the display has black areas, lines, flickering or unreliable touch, arrange an inspection rather than continuing to press on the damaged panel.
How long does an iPhone screen repair take?
It depends on the model, part option, diagnosis and testing. Fonebook shows an estimated repair time against configured repairs before booking. For example, the iPhone 16 screen options listed at the time of writing show a 45-minute estimate.
Does a cracked screen always mean the whole phone is damaged?
No. Sometimes the display assembly is the main damaged part. A harder impact can affect the frame, cameras or other components, which is why additional symptoms should be mentioned when booking.
