iPhone Repair? Click Me First!
Do you need a..
Back Glass? I do have a laser machine and can safely & effectively remove the old glass! Total job takes 2-3 hours.
Battery? Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page for more on batteries.
Front Camera? On Models that have Face ID, it will be lost unless you are willing to pay for microsoldering to transfer the components from your old camera flex cable to the new camera flex cable. Ask me for more info.
Home Button? These are mostly phased out, but if your home button needs replacing, Touch ID will be lost. You can however regain the click function which returns you to the home screen, but even that was not initially available and you must choose the replacement HB that has that function.
Rear Camera? The rear camera on the iPhone 12 series is currently impossible to replace via 3rd party. The following link summarizes it nicely https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/30/iphone-12-camera-repair/
Screen? All iPhones starting from iPhone series 8 and up have the True Tone feature. This is lost unless it is transferred from your old screen or otherwise. Don't worry, this is an easy & standard practice that I and other reuputable shops incorporate with their screen repair/replacements. And even if true tone is not transferred, your screen will still work, it is purely aesthetics. (True Tone is a lighting feature on your iPhone that adjusts brightness and color based on your surroundings. You can enable or disable True Tone on your iPhone through Settings or the Control Center.)

There is a wide array of "Aftermarket" parts.
The ones we source have overall higher QC (quality control) than the average aftermarket parts found on Amazon or Ebay.
Since Apple & Samsung dominate the mobile phone market, there is more emphasis on providing parts for their phones. iPhone screens are offered in 6 out of the 8 screen options listed below.
Models available:
Google Pixel Series
Motorola X, Z, E, Droid, Nexus, Moto One/P Series
LG G, V, K, Stylo, G Pad, Q, Aristo, X, Nexus Series
Samsung Galaxy, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy J, Galaxy A, Galaxy Mega Series
Apple iPhones
Huawei
ZTE
HTC
Every single phone has aftermarket screens & parts made for it.
These are the ones our suppliers offer as their choice of aftermarket parts.
The 3 Screens Below Are Considered "Premium Aftermarket" for iPhones.
Looking for screens info on other Brands like Samsung, LG & Motorola? Scroll down to the next tiers...
FX5 or X07 INCELL LCD
FX5 or X07 INCELL LCD
(Premium Aftermarket LCD, Flex Cable, Glass/Digitizer, & Cold Pressed Frame)
iPhones Only
The flagship screens for each of our suppliers.
Those suppliers are directly involved in the sourcing of materials, engineering, manufacturing quality control and etc. of these screens which ultimately raise the standard of quality for the industry.
Both use Incell technology which means the LCD is infused with the digitizer thus they are thinner & fit better than other aftermarkets, and they offer a lower defective rate.
FX5 and X07 are equally considered top aftermarket brands.
Models available:
iPhone 6/6+ & up
FX5 or X07 Hard OLED
FX5 or X07 Hard OLED
(Premium Aftermarket OLED, Flex Cable, Glass/Digitizer, & Cold Pressed Frame)
iPhones Only
Hard OLED quality is considered to be more fragile than soft OLED, but my suppliers decrease that percentage through their higher quality materials and manufacturing processes.
Hard OLED is slightly more expensive than LCD and the benefits largely outweigh the added cost.
Highly Recommended over an LCD option. Scroll up to see why "Screen Info: LCD vs. OLED"
Models available:
iPhone X & up
FX5/X07 Soft OLED
FX5/X07 Soft OLED
(Premium Aftermarket OLED, Flex Cable, Glass/Digitizer, & Cold Pressed Frame)
(Premium Aftermarket OLED, Flex Cable, Glass/Digitizer, & Cold Pressed Frame)
iPhones Only
Soft OLED is the same type of OLED (flexible) used on original panels and is considered the highest grade of aftermarket OLED for iPhone screens.
Flexible, durable & more expensive than Hard OLED.
Models available:
iPhone X & up
The Phone Screens Below Have An 100% Original OEM LCD/OLED
Resulting In An Original Display Quality.
Premium FOG LCD/OLED
Premium FOG LCD/OLED
(OEM Grade LCD/OLED, Aftermarket Flex Cable, Glass/Digitizer & Cold Pressed Frame)
iPhones Only
As a step up from the FX5/X07, Premium FOG uses new original OEM LCD/OLED panels with aftermarket flex cables.
They offer similar color and brightness specifications as refurbished screens, but these high quality aftermarket screens are a great price alternative to premium refurbished screens.
So to keep it simple, these screens are a mixture of OEM and Aftermarket components. This might have the largest price jump overall from Soft OLED but is the 2nd best iPhone screen.
Models Available:
iPhone X & up
Premium Refurbished LCD/OLED
Premium Refurbished LCD/OLED
(OEM LCD/OLED Panels, OEM Flex Cable, Aftermarket Glass/Digitizer & Cold Pressed Frame)
iPhones, Galaxies, Notes, LG, Motorola, Etc.
Premium refurbished screens use original panels removed from devices with original flex cables.
The original LCD/OLED panels are re-glassed and being original parts, they offer similar performance and screen specifications as originals.
These are the highest quality screens available beside OEM Pulls/ Genuine OEM.
Best & most expensive option for iPhones and Apple products as it is extremely difficult to qualify to get 100% OEM apple parts.
Samsung screens: The ones we buy come with frames.
Models Available:
iPhone
Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Note S
LG
Google Pixel

Equally as good as XCap batteries. They both pass important battery standards making them reliable and safe.
These guys are in direct competition with XCap, but they also provide batteries for iPads. I find nothing wrong with this brand, we just happen to buy 90% of our parts from one supplier who happens to make XCap.

iPhone Battery Notes:
iPhone Battery Notes:
Apple is and has been very much against Right to Repair aka 3rd party repair. Similar to buying a car from a dealer, a customer has the right to choose where to repair their car, either they themselves or at any auto shop, but not necessarily the dealer who charges the MOST.
Apple wants to be the ONLY option customers have to repair their apple products.
So in another attempt from apple to discourage 3rd party repairs, from iPhone XR & up, You will lose the “battery health” feature if you get a battery outside of apple and apple authorized repair shops.
This message applies to iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and later.
"Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery. Health information not available for this battery. Learn more…"
Sigh...
This is a result of Apple putting a chip on the battery flex cable which pairs or connects it to the motherboard creating an encrypted connection. When that specific connection is broken by a new battery, the battery health feature is lost. (There is a work around but it is very labor intensive so for the price it is not worth it for the most part)
Naturally, when someone sees this message for the first time, it becomes a cause for concern, but it is more of a nuisance than an informative notification. This message appears simply because the battery is not paired to the motherboard. Even if you bought 2 iPhones, and swapped batteries, you will receive this message, because each battery must be individually paired or programmed to the board. It really is a flawed system in that regard because the message itself does not determine the condition of your battery, being either good or bad. In fact, your battery can be equal to that of a brand new OEM iPhone battery. Apple is doing a good job at scaring customers unnecessarily over a basic battery repair, which is bound to be needed after 2-3 years on any phone or tablet in general.
So if you cannot live without battery health there are apps that can be downloaded that will give you a fairly accurate reading of your battery health (charge cycles, original capacity vs current capacity, etc).
Apps (laptop/desktop): iMazing (Mac/PC), Coconut Battery(Mac), or 3U Tools (PC). We use all three.
Or you can go to Apple and have them replace your battery which entails sending your device off to get repaired, therefore you will be without it for at least 1-2 days.
Non-iPhone Batteries:
Non-iPhone Batteries:
Samsung, Google Pixel & other brands: More often than not, 100% OEM or OEM standard batteries are readily available. Ones we have replaced all have been exactly the same as the OEM ones inside.
Again it is highly recommended to have your battery replaced along with your screen if it is 1.5-2 years old AND you plan on keeping your phone/ device. It can save you up to 50% on the battery install when it's bundled. Again, the time & labor to install a battery is nearly the same as getting a whole new screen. Bundling cuts the labor in half & we will gladly pass the benefits to you!
