iPhone Screen Replacement
- Face ID kept
- True Tone restored
- Same-day screens
- Water-resistant reseal
Cracked glass, dead touch, black display, ghost touch, or green and pink lines across the panel, we replace iPhone screens the right way, with the calibration and sensor work that keeps your phone behaving like Apple intended.
A screen swap on a modern iPhone is not just glass. The display carries the Face ID dot-projector flex, the proximity and ambient-light sensors, the earpiece, and a chip Apple pairs to your logic board for True Tone. Done carelessly, you lose Face ID, lose True Tone, and earn an "unknown part" warning. We do it as board-level techs who understand every connector under that panel, not a kiosk that pops glass and hopes.
When you need a screen replacement
- Cracked or shattered front glass, even if touch still works
- Black screen or backlight out but the phone still rings and buzzes
- Dead spots, unresponsive touch, or "ghost touch" tapping on its own
- Green, pink, or white vertical lines across the display
- Flickering, washed-out color, or a screen stuck dim
- Lifting or separating display where it has popped away from the frame
Honest by default
Every device starts with a $65 diagnostic and a written report, exact cost and timeline before we touch it. The fee applies toward your repair.
Cost is driven mostly by model and panel grade: a soft-OLED Pro or Pro Max assembly with ProMotion and Dynamic Island costs far more than an older LCD model, and a genuine OEM OLED runs above a quality aftermarket panel. Where only the outer glass is cracked but the OLED underneath is perfect, glass-only refurbishing can be cheaper than a full assembly. The $65 diagnostic applies toward whatever repair you approve.
OEM OLED vs quality aftermarket screens
| What matters | Genuine OEM / OLED | Quality aftermarket |
|---|---|---|
| Warranty | 1 year | 1 month |
| True Tone & auto-brightness | Fully preserved | We tell you up front what iOS restores |
| Color & brightness | Factory match | Close, can vary slightly by panel |
| Face ID & sensors | Your flex transferred, kept intact | Your flex transferred, kept intact |
| Best for | Keeping the phone long-term | A sensible, lower-cost fix |
Both options carry your original Face ID flex and sensors. We tell you which panel your quote uses, and why, before any work starts.
Our screen replacement process
$65 written diagnostic
We confirm it is genuinely a screen issue and not the logic board faking one, a failed display IC or a damaged connector can mimic a bad panel. You get a written quote before we touch anything, and the $65 applies toward the repair.
Transfer your sensors and flex
The earpiece mesh, proximity and ambient-light sensors, and the Face ID dot-projector flex move from your old assembly to the new one under a microscope. Disturb that flex and Face ID dies permanently, so we treat it like the soldered part it effectively is.
Pair the display and restore True Tone
We program the new panel so iOS recognizes it, carrying over True Tone and auto-brightness calibration where the part supports it. With OEM displays you keep full function; with aftermarket we tell you up front exactly what iOS will and won't restore.
Full function test before you leave
Touch across the whole panel, 3D/Haptic Touch, True Tone, auto-brightness, proximity blanking on calls, Face ID enrollment, and color uniformity all get checked. We seal it with fresh adhesive so water resistance and fit are honest, not floppy.

Why bring an iPhone screen to WeFixed
We have spent 11 years doing board-level microsoldering, the work most shops mail out to someone like us. That matters on a screen job because the failures hide below the panel: a damaged display connector, a lifted pad, or a logic-board display IC that no amount of new glass will fix. We diagnose the real cause, transfer your Face ID flex and sensors with the care they demand, pair the display so True Tone comes back, and tell you plainly when an aftermarket panel is the sensible call and when your phone deserves OEM. Walk into our Clarendon lab at 2722 Washington Blvd N, or mail it in tracked from anywhere in the country.
