Repairing the rear glass of the iPhone 8 is more expensive than the screen

The iPhone 8 has arrived with a brilliant feature that many of us have been demanding for some time. That nice rear glass that for some reason Apple abandoned years ago, and that fits the iPhone 8 extremely well, despite the fact that the black edition is quite attractive for the stains caused by our fingerprints. But that is not the topic that brings us here and now, but the great doubt ... How much will it cost to repair the glass back of the iPhone 8?

Much has been made of possibly including a version of Gorilla Glass make it the toughest in history, but that certainly won't make it indestructible, and a good fall on the indolent asphalt of the big city will possibly break it down.

Apple has not contemplated in the Genius Bar a fixed price for the repair of this rear glass, and we imagine that its breakage will possibly affect the wireless charging coil, as well as the need to completely disassemble the phone to be able to snatch the glass, especially considering that it is most likely that it is fixed through adhesive mechanisms, so it will probably automatically lose its tightness (water resistance).

In short, in Apple Spain as in the rest of the world, the Cupertino company has seen fit to include these repairs in what it considers to be "Other Damages", hence, while the screen repair in a iPhone 8 will cost € 181,10, the rear glass will cost no less than € 401,10, and taking into account the characteristics of the device, going to an external repairman does not seem like a good idea. For the iPhone 8 Plus things get worse, € 201,10 for the screen and the front glass, and nothing more and nothing less than € 451,10 if you want to repair the rear glass. As they say, someone who wants something has a hard time.

    I think that we are losing the pot with the issue of the price of telephones. 99% of the population uses it to:
    Photos
    Messenger service
    Sporadic GPS

    € 999 on a phone? (iPhone X)
    € 500 to repair it? (iPhone 8)

    That is what a work tool costs for some, such as a PC.

    Y? The apple is bitten. Carving the apple by hand in that indestructible glass is very expensive.

    I have been using the apple brand in many of their devices for a long time ... but the truth is that lately it has gotten out of hand. Honestly, I am increasingly disappointed with some policies, I have suffered in its guarantee and the truth, it begins to tire me so I am forced to look for alternatives.

    You cannot defend the indefensible, this from the rear seems laughable…. Half the price of iPhone 8 is the rear? Really?
