An iPhone screen repair cost in the UK depends mostly on your model and the kind of screen fitted. At Mobile Links in Plaistow, a replacement screen for an iPhone 12 to iPhone 16 costs £50 to £130, fitted. A genuine Apple screen for the iPhone 16 Pro is £420 and for the 16 Pro Max £450. Apple’s own out-of-warranty estimates for the same models run from £225 to £389.
This guide gives you the full price table by model, explains what pushes the price up or down, helps you decide whether the repair is worth it, and lists what to do before you hand your phone over.

Mobile Links prices are from our phone repair page and iPhone repairs shop on 8 November 2026. “Ask for a quote” means the model isn’t listed online yet: call 0203 689 8083 or WhatsApp 07440 482830 with a photo. “On request” means a genuine Apple screen can be ordered for that model; ask for the price.
Apple’s figures come from its UK iPhone screen repair page, opened on 8 November 2026. Apple says they are estimates for out-of-warranty service, that they “will be subject to VAT”, that a delivery fee may be added if your phone has to be sent away, and that it inspects the device to set the final fee. Apple Authorised Service Providers can set their own prices. If you have AppleCare+, Apple lists a £25 excess for screen damage on every model in the table.
What decides the price of an iPhone screen replacement?
Four things set your iPhone screen replacement cost.
1. Your model
Newer and bigger phones cost more. In our prices, an iPhone 12 screen is £50, an iPhone 14 Pro Max £90 and an iPhone 16 Pro Max £130. Apple’s estimates follow the same pattern: the Pro Max models sit at the top at £389.
2. Replacement-quality screen or genuine Apple screen
This is the biggest price swing. Our standard price is for a high-quality replacement screen (listed in our shop as “AAA” grade). It costs a fraction of the price of a genuine part: on an iPhone 16 Pro, £120 against £420. A genuine Apple screen is the same kind of part Apple fits itself, and we offer one on the iPhone 16 Pro (£420) and 16 Pro Max (£450), with other models on request.
Apple is clear that a non-genuine display can behave differently. On its “About genuine iPhone displays” page (published 2 November 2026), Apple lists possible issues including:
- True Tone may not work correctly
- maximum brightness may be lower, or brightness may be uneven
- Multi-Touch may not respond on parts of the screen
- compatibility problems after an iOS update that changes the display
On iPhone 11 and later (except iPhone SE), a non-genuine screen also shows as “Unknown” under Settings > General > About > Parts and Service History. Apple says the message doesn’t stop you using the phone, but an Unknown part might affect its trade-in value. Weigh that up if you plan to trade in or sell the phone soon.
3. Glass only, or the display underneath too
Our screen repair replaces the whole screen, so the price is the same whether only the glass is cracked or the display underneath is damaged as well. That is good news if you see more than cracks: our screen prices cover a cracked screen, a black or flickering display, lines or ink-like spots, and touch that has stopped working. Apple also lists one “screen damage” price per model.
What does change the bill is other damage. If the back glass is cracked too, that is a separate repair: back glass on an iPhone 14 is £55 and on an iPhone 15 Pro Max £85 with us. Apple quotes a combined “screen and back glass” price, for example £369 on an iPhone 15.
4. Where you get it fixed
Apple, Apple Authorised Service Providers and independent shops all set their own iPhone repair prices. Always ask what kind of screen you are getting, how long the repair takes and what the warranty covers. At Mobile Links you get a price before any work starts, a 30-day warranty on the part and the work, and no fix, no fee.
How much to fix an iPhone screen: quick answers by budget
- Lowest cost: a replacement screen, £50 to £130 for an iPhone 12 to 16 at Mobile Links.
- Genuine Apple part from us: £420 (16 Pro) or £450 (16 Pro Max); other models on request.
- Through Apple out of warranty: £225 to £389 for iPhone 12 to 16 models, as estimates subject to VAT and a final inspection.
- With AppleCare+: a £25 excess for screen damage through Apple.
Is it worth repairing a cracked iPhone screen?
For most iPhone 12 to 16 owners, yes. At £50 to £130, the iPhone screen repair cost is far less than a replacement phone. Some quick rules:
- Repair it if the phone otherwise works well and you plan to keep it.
- Fix the battery at the same time if the phone also dies fast. Our iPhone battery health guide shows how to check it and see our iPhone battery replacement prices.
- Think about a genuine screen if you are selling or trading in soon, or True Tone and full brightness matter to you.
- Use AppleCare+ if you have it: a £25 excess is hard to beat.
- Ask before paying if the phone was also dropped in water or has other faults. We check it first and quote the whole job.
Screen showing lines or flicker but not cracked? It may be a software fault rather than a broken screen. Our iPhone 16 display problem guide covers what to try first.
What to do before an iPhone screen repair
- Back up your iPhone. Connect to Wi-Fi, open Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud > iCloud Backup, then tap Back Up Now and stay on Wi-Fi until it finishes (Apple’s iCloud backup steps). A screen repair doesn’t touch your photos or data, but a backup costs nothing and protects you if anything else goes wrong.
- Know your passcode, but keep it to yourself. Apple advises never giving your passcode or Apple Account password to anyone. If the screen still responds, you can unlock the phone yourself after the repair to see that touch and display work, and stay with the phone if a technician needs it unlocked.
- Note anything else that isn’t working, such as the camera, speaker or charging port, so it can be included in the quote.
- Remove the case and any loose screen protector if you can, so the damage is easy to see.
If your repair is with Apple instead, Apple’s service preparation page also asks you to turn on Repair or Trade In in the Find My app (iOS 27 and later) or turn off Find My (iOS 26 and earlier), and warns that your device may be erased.

Questions people ask
How much does it cost to fix an iPhone screen in the UK?
At Mobile Links, £50 to £130 for an iPhone 12 to 16 with a replacement screen, or £420 to £450 for a genuine screen on the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Apple’s out-of-warranty estimates are £225 to £389 for the same range, subject to VAT and inspection.
Can you replace just the glass on an iPhone screen?
Our iPhone screen repair replaces the whole screen, glass and display together, so the price is the same whether only the glass is cracked or the display is damaged too.
Is a replacement screen as good as a genuine Apple screen?
It costs much less and works for everyday use, but Apple says a non-genuine display may lose True Tone, have lower brightness or touch issues, and will show as “Unknown” in Parts and Service History. A genuine screen avoids those points but costs more.
How long does an iPhone screen repair take?
Most iPhone screens take about 30 minutes at our Plaistow shop. If a part has to be ordered in, we’ll tell you on the day.
Will I lose my photos if my screen is replaced?
No. A screen repair doesn’t touch your data. Back up first anyway, so your photos are safe whatever happens.
Does AppleCare+ cover a cracked screen?
Yes. Apple lists a £25 excess for screen damage on iPhone models covered by AppleCare+, and says the excess is the same at Apple and its Authorised Service Providers.
