 of repairing an iPhone Screen and the options you have for repair through Apple or an Apple-authorized repair shop.){kind=link}
If you are unfortunate enough to have gotten a cracked screen on your iPhone, the first thing you probably want to know is how much it will cost to fix it. The second thing you probably want to know is what your options are for getting it fixed.
In this article, we will outline the cost (in $US) of repairing an iPhone Screen and the options you have for repair through Apple or an Apple-authorized repair shop. We’ll also discuss AppleCare (the one-year limited warranty) and AppleCare+.
All costs and warranty information are relevant to U.S. customers.
How much does it cost to replace an iPhone Screen?
How much you have to pay will depend on if you have purchased AppleCare+. The standard warranty that comes with the iPhone does not cover accidental damage, like cracked screens. In general, the more expensive iPhones have more expensive repair costs. The age of the iPhone doesn’t make much difference. For example, the repair costs are essentially the same for iPhone 14 series, iPhone 15 series and iPhone 16 series.

As you can see in the chart, the cost of repairing a screen increases with a larger screen size and depends on whether the iPhone is a Pro model. The cost with AppleCare+ is the same for all models because the (upfront) cost of the AppleCare+ plans are different.
Do I have or can I get AppleCare+?
Obviously, if you are looking at the repair costs for your iPhone, you will wish you had AppleCare+. You may have one of the following questions about AppleCare:
- Does the AppleCare warranty that comes with the iPhone cover the damage?
- Do I have AppleCare+? How can I check?
- Can I still get AppleCare+ and get the repair discount?
Does the AppleCare Warranty that comes with the iPhone cover the damage?
Apple offers a one-year limited warranty for new iPhones. This only covers defects in hardware and workmanship. It does not cover any accidental damage, so it doesn’t help you get your screen repaired.
Do I have AppleCare+? How can I check?
We have previously written about how to check your AppleCare warranty status.
Can I still get AppleCare+ and get the repair discount?
It is only possible to purchase AppleCare+ within 60 days of your iPhone purchase. If you are still within this time period, you have a few ways that you can purchase AppleCare+:
- On your iPhone (go to Settings > General > About and choose Add AppleCare+ Coverage)
- Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
- At an Apple Store (inspection of iPhone and proof of purchase are required)
- By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)
The good news is that if you purchase AppleCare+, you can transfer it to a new owner if you sell your iPhone (or give it to a family member).
How to get your iPhone screen repaired
There are two options for getting your iPhone screen repaired:
- Schedule a visit: Make a Genius Bar appointment at an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Store.
- Send your iPhone in for repair: Arrange to mail your product directly to Apple. Apple will send you a box, and you will mail your device to Apple. It is estimated to take 5-9 days.
You can arrange for any of the above options from Apple’s iPhone screen replacement page.
In the meantime, if your cracked screen makes it difficult to interact with your iPhone, but you still want to use it, you can mirror your iPhone to your Mac. This allows you to do everything you would normally do on your iPhone, just using your Mac screen.
