Oh no! You’ve dropped your iPhone and the back is now a spiderweb of cracks. It might look scary, but don’t panic! Replacing a cracked back is definitely possible. But how much will it set you back?
This blog will break down the repair costs for a cracked iPhone back, depending on where you get it fixed.
The Official Route: Apple
Apple itself doesn’t publish specific repair prices for back glass replacements. In the past, they offered a complete phone replacement for any kind of back damage. This could be pricey! However, there have been rumors that newer iPhone models (iPhone 12 and later) might be eligible for back glass repairs only.
If you go this route, it’s best to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store to get an exact quote. Don’t forget to factor in whether you have AppleCare+. AppleCare+ can significantly reduce the repair cost.
Third-Party Repair Shops
Many third-party repair shops specialize in iPhone repairs, including back glass replacements. The cost here can vary depending on the shop and your iPhone model. Generally, expect to pay anywhere from ₹2,000 to ₹3,500 (Indian Rupees) for the repair.
Before You Get Your iPhone Fixed
Here are some quick tips before you get your iPhone back repaired:
- Get quotes: Don’t settle for the first price you hear. Get quotes from Apple and a few reputable third-party repair shops to compare prices.
- Consider AppleCare+: If you’re accident-prone, consider investing in AppleCare+ next time. It can save you a significant amount of money on repairs.
- Ask about quality: If you’re going with a third-party repair shop, make sure they use high-quality replacement parts and offer a warranty on their work.
A Cracked Back Doesn’t Have to Break the Bank
While a cracked back isn’t ideal, there are affordable ways to get it fixed. Do your research, compare quotes, and you’ll be back to snapping pictures with your iPhone in no time!
