14 DAY TRIAL // Apple has officially launched the iPhone 12 last week, and the first units are projected to land in the hands of owners who pre-ordered it next Friday.
Unfortunately for the most unlucky fellows, once the iPhone 12 starts shipping it’s all just a matter of time until we see the first posts on social media revealing how the device ended up shattered into pieces after falling to the ground.
Broken screens are something that we can’t avoid, and while using a case sometimes helps, they’re not bulletproof. And unfortunately, many of us learned this the hard way.
A broken display, however, isn’t the end of the world, and Apple has recently published the screen replacement costs should the operation be not covered by warranty.
New iPhones going on sale in November
More specifically, replacing the screen of the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro (these are the only two models that are available for purchase today, with the iPhone 12 mini and 12 Pro Max to hit the shelves in November) costs $279.
This is the same price that Apple is charging for the iPhone 11 Pro, though it’s higher than on the iPhone 11, whose screen can be replaced for just $199 at an Apple Store. Needless to say, given the iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a larger screen, the whole thing is likely to be more expensive.
As a matter of fact, replacing the iPhone 11 Pro Max display currently costs $329.
Worth keeping an eye on is the price of a screen replacement for the all-new iPhone 12 mini coming with a 5.4-inch display. Apple is expected to ask for the same price as for the iPhone SE, whose screen can be replaced today for $129. The same price is also used for the many years old iPhone 5.
