Apple starts repairing iPhone 5 screen for $ 149

iPhone 5 broken

With policy changes looming for the Apple Care service, Apple wants to get most of the repairs of damaged iPhones are fixed in their physical stores, thus avoiding having to give a refurbished terminal (repaired by the SAT) and with the consequent cost savings that this means for the company.

Apple has reportedly started offering rScreen repair for iPhone 5 priced at $ 149 (in Spain we do not know the amount). If your terminal has problems, the technicians of the physical Apple Store should be able to replace the display so that you can take home the same phone that you brought.

This measure has caused some non-Apple repair services have to cut the price of their services, an amount that they already had very tight in the case of the iPhone 5. The control that Apple has over the components of the terminal makes it very difficult to get spare parts and that makes the final price more expensive, leaving very little profit margin if really they want to be competitive.

If you have an iPhone 5 with a broken screen or with the front affected by a fall, You may be interested in taking a tour of an Apple Store and request a quote to replace it.

In addition to repairing screens, it is expected that the cameras, buttons and iPhone motherboard in the physical Apple Store itself.

    I really prefer that they change it for another, it is more comfortable and on the outside totally new I have an iPhone 4 of those and it is perfect better than the new one

    If they do that they lose for what it was worth to have an iPhone, that is why I had not switched to Samsung for Apple's service. In other words, if they do that, they become one more

      But what has changed in Apple's service? You keep taking the repaired terminal on the spot, the only difference is that you take yours and not a refurbished one. I don't know what the downside is.

      Does Samsung repair non-warranty terminals (screen broken by bump / drop) on the spot?

        Naa is not the same, if it had scratches on the sides and some blow apart from the broken screen or whatever it had, you would come out with one that seemed new, that was cool. And now you spend your money and you go out with a new screen but with the same scratches in the rest naa that does not beat me, apart here in Mexico there is no place you can take it I had to travel 4 hours to the United States and wait to go And as I say, what was worth it was to go out with one like new

          Is Apple to blame for the user not taking proper care of their mobile? It is as if you buy a car, you give it a blow, you go to the dealership to have the 10.000 review and you complain because they have returned the same car to you with the same blow that you have given it.

        In any case, what it is doing is reducing the quality of its after-sales service, from being Excellent to Notable, nobody says it is bad, but from being miles away from other companies, now it is only a few meters above.

        1.    Joy Israel Encinas said

          Well, if it is still above that what or what, only that it does not have to loosen because they are going to squeeze its heels, Samsung is tightening a lot but it is still a better iPhone for me, apart that is not yet approved, they are just speculations for now

        Another thing the iPhone 5 is a mop but I had to change it about 4 times because they were damaged, I pay 910 dlls to give it to me with blows on the corners because of course not, until the 4th it turned out good

        Hello, the same thing just happened to me ... broken iphone 5 screen, with 5 months of use. Do you know from when they will start to repair the screen in apple, and that you take your phone and not a refurbished one? I have been to Apple in Xanadu, Madrid, and they ask me for 250 euros for another phone… they say that in Spain they still don't do this, do you know when they will?
        thanks in advance

          No idea, sorry. If you get an original screen, you can repair it yourself for a lot less money. Greetings!

    Today I was in an Apple Store in France to change the broken glass screen of my Iphone5:

    -1st surprise. They do not attend you if you have not previously requested an online appointment.

    -2nd surprise. They don't change my glass. I have to hand over my mobile and they give me another one… for 229 Euros !!! That is a total scam. My mobile is 5 months old and works perfectly, I don't want to pay 229 Euros for a broken glass that, according to the videos on YouTube, changes it yourself in 3 minutes. If my mobile was 4 years old, still, but that amount of money, WHY A GLASS?

    -3rd surprise. They tell me that if I change the screen in another store (almost all Chinese electronics stores do) I lose the "apple" warranty. What guarantee? Pay 229 Euros for a glass? If that's more than this phone costs them!

    I'll keep my phone with the glass broken, but I plan to campaign against buying an Iphone. Let no one buy this phone because in addition to continuously having the feeling that it is not yours, but theirs (you are limited in all the applications, videos that you save, etc.) on top of that, then you are hooked to pay large sums of money for nonsense .
