To put it in some way, the iPhone X has gone on sale today as nothing else appears on the Web Apple except warn of delays in shipments of 4 to 5 weeks. With its arrival in the market, the company has published some information about the repair prices of the phone and, thanks to this data; we already know that repairing the iPhone X screen costs the same as a new mobile phone.
As with the phone itself, if you have not contracted the extended warranty, repairing the iPhone X screen will cost 279 dollars, i.e., the same price as large mid-range smartphones that you can buy at any time, such as the Moto G5S Plus.
It is clear that the iPhone X screen is one of its great features. It is a panel with hardly any bezels with a size of 5.8 inches that populates the entire front of the device, with a flexible OLED panel and a resolution of 2.4360 x 1.125 pixels with a density of 458 dots per inch. These characteristics have caused in repairing the screen of the iPhone X that cost twice the price of a screen replacement of the iPhone 6 – fixed in 129 dollars, and approximately 65% more than a new screen for the iPhone 8 (169 dollars).
A high repair cost
If you have contracted an AppleCare+ plan, the price of repairing the screen and the rest of the smartphone’s components is 29 dollars. All other non-warranty repairs will cost $ 549, much more than it costs to repair other recent iPhones. For example, the repairs of the iPhone 8 cost $ 349, and the repairs for iPhone 8 Plus are close to $ 400.
Although the repair prices are high, we must remember that we are talking about a mobile that in its most basic version amounts to $1000. Because Samsung is the only company that can supply the iPhone X screens, it is logical to see how to repair the iPhone X panel is not going to be exactly cheap.
