Apple Stores will replace broken iPhone displays

I broke the screen on my iPhone a while back. I was gonna do the Apple screen swap deal for $200 but I found ubreakifix.com during a quick Google search. They offered the same repair for about $80 so I figured I'd try it and save some money. Turns out, they did a great job and I had my iPhone back and looking like new in just a few days. Glad I found them before Apple got their hands on more of my money.

"Speaking of repairs, we've seen iPhones and iPod touches survive some serious knocks, like a run-in with a pickup truck."

doubt it'll survive a shotgun, though.

So wait, if I have Apple Care and I drop my phone and the screen cracks I can get it replaced for free?

That would a awesome incentive to get apple care!

200 bucks for a stupid little piece of glass and a 10 min fix? how do you spell ripoff? I mean its great that they're fixing it and all but at that price? Especially since we all know that piece of glass costs nowhere near that.

almost better to just say eff it and get a go phone and throw your SIM in it for 30 bucks...granted you lose a lot of features (a ton actually), but at least you get a working phone

I can replace them for 100 plus parts...which depends on if it is the touch digitizer or LCD or both

it's a rather simple fix...so send me your iphones...original not included in offer...lol

Apple announced nothing about this as they have been replacing screens for a few months now.

This does NOT cover broken screens because that is considered accidental damage. Replacing a broken screen will still cost $199.

Add me to the list of people who have experienced this first-hand. My iPhone screen stopped working, so that same day I made a Apple store genius appointment. I was underwarranty so I just showed up, and left 10 minutes later with a new screen on my iPhone for $0.

This article is misleading...We just called the Apple support line and they said that Apple will only fix something deemed a manufacturer defect. This does not include the display of a phone that has been dropped, ran over or anything as such. It may include dust that many are blogging about here but that would be a mfg defect since dust is not suppose to be in the phones display. Apple says if this where true then there would be an Apple article you could find online at their website. I have found no such thing.

This past April I went to the Apple store in Clarendon (the same one that had the shooting) to see if they could clean the dust out from under my screen. I figured they'd open it up and blow out the dust. Instead the genius suggested they replace the screen which he said they "just started doing". I was still within my 1 year warranty so the whole thing was free. About an hour later is was done.

I called my local apple store and they said this is not true - just a blog rumor.
