A cracked iPhone screen can be frustrating, affecting both functionality and appearance. Finding reliable information about iPhone screen replacement costs in India can be challenging with prices varying across models and service providers. This comprehensive guide breaks down the exact costs for each iPhone model, compares original vs third-party options, and helps you make an informed decision for your screen replacement needs.
Understanding iPhone Screen Types and Replacement Options
Before diving into the costs, it’s important to understand the different types of iPhone screens and replacement options available in the Indian market:
Screen Types
- LCD Displays: Found in older models (iPhone 8, XR, SE 2020), these are more affordable to replace.
- OLED Displays: Present in premium models (iPhone X onwards), offering better color accuracy and contrast but at a higher replacement cost.
- Super Retina XDR: The latest display technology in iPhone 12 and newer models, featuring the highest quality but also the most expensive replacement.
Replacement Options
- Original Apple Display: Highest quality with perfect compatibility but most expensive.
- OEM Quality: Manufactured to Apple specifications, offering excellent quality at a lower price.
- Compatible/Standard Quality: Third-party screens that work well but may have slight differences in color and touch sensitivity.
- Front Glass Only: When only the outer glass is damaged but the display underneath works perfectly.
Factors Affecting iPhone Screen Replacement Cost in India
Several factors influence the cost of replacing your iPhone screen in India:
iPhone Model
Newer models with advanced display technology cost significantly more to replace. Pro and Pro Max variants are typically the most expensive.
Screen Technology
OLED screens (used in premium models) cost more than LCD screens. Face ID components integrated with the display also increase replacement costs.
Replacement Type
Original Apple parts cost significantly more than OEM or compatible alternatives. Front glass-only replacements are more affordable than full display assemblies.
Important: After a screen replacement, your iPhone may display a notification message for up to 4 days on the lock screen and later in Settings. This is normal and doesn’t affect functionality – it’s Apple’s way of alerting you that your device has been serviced.

- Invest in a shock-absorbing case – Look for cases with raised edges around the screen and reinforced corners.
- Apply screen protector immediately – Don’t wait to protect your new screen; apply protection right after replacement.
Handling Practices
- Avoid extreme temperatures – Heat and cold can affect adhesives and screen performance.
- Keep away from water – Even water-resistant iPhones can be damaged by prolonged exposure.

- Be mindful of pocket placement – Don’t store keys or coins in the same pocket as your iPhone.
Frequently Asked Questions About iPhone Screen Replacement
How long does an iPhone screen replacement take?
At iFix India, most iPhone screen replacements take 30-45 minutes to complete. Our technicians come prepared with all necessary tools and replacement parts to ensure efficient service at your doorstep.
Will I lose my data during screen replacement?
No, screen replacement doesn’t typically affect your data. However, we always recommend backing up your iPhone before any repair as a precautionary measure. Our technicians only work on the display assembly and don’t access your personal data.
Does replacing the screen void my Apple warranty?
If your iPhone is still under Apple’s warranty or AppleCare+, third-party repairs may void that coverage. However, for out-of-warranty devices, our service provides excellent value with a 6-month warranty on the replacement part.
Can you replace just the glass without replacing the entire screen?
Yes, if only the outer glass is damaged but the display underneath works perfectly, we offer front glass-only replacement at a significantly lower cost. However, if there are display issues (touch problems, discoloration, lines), a full screen replacement is necessary.
Are your replacement screens waterproof like the original?
Our OEM and original quality replacements maintain the same water-resistance properties as factory screens when properly installed. However, we recommend avoiding water exposure regardless of screen type, as water damage isn’t covered under warranty.
Do you offer any discounts on screen replacement?
Yes, we offer seasonal discounts and special offers for returning customers. We also provide combo offers if you need multiple repairs (e.g., screen + battery replacement). Contact our customer service for current promotions.
