FAQs about iPhone Screen Repair

If your iPhone screen is cracked, you’re not alone. Even if you are as careful as possible with your device and use a screen protector, cracks can still happen. A cracked screen is definitely not something you should ignore. Small cracks can spread over time. This is not only a cosmetic issue—it can also interfere with your ability to use your touchscreen effectively. Cracks can also make your phone vulnerable to dust, debris, and moisture that can then impact the phone internally.

If you have a cracked iPhone screen, the good news is that you don’t have to buy a new phone. In most cases, a technician with experience in iPhone screen repair can return your phone to a like-new state, so it looks and acts as it should. If you’re looking for a provider of iPhone screen repair Tucson residents rely on, come to Gamers Warehouse. You can learn more about our iPhone screen repair services below.

Can all cracked iPhone screens be repaired?

In general, most iPhone screens can be repaired. The sooner you get your smartphone repaired after screen damage occurs, the better your odds are of getting your phone back like new. This is because cracks can spread easily over time. If you ignore a minor crack for too long, it can spread and splinter the rest of the screen. Even if this kind damage can be repaired, it dramatically increases the risk that other damage will occur within your phone. If internal damage occurs, fixing your screen won’t entirely fix the problems with your phone, so it is possible that you could need further repairs.

How are iPhone screens fixed?

Typically, iPhone screens are fixed by replacing them. The technician working on your phone will remove your existing screen and install a replacement that looks like new. This involves opening up the phone and removing all of the components that are attached to the screen, and then reattaching them to the new screen and closing the phone back up. There will be no obvious signs of the repair afterwards.

How long does iPhone screen repair take?

The repair process is generally fast. The amount of time you have to wait for your repairs will depend on whether or not the technician has the right screen in stock. It will also depend on how many other customers have iPhone repairs scheduled ahead of you.

Why can’t I fix my cracked screen on my own?

Chances are that you have seen advertisements for at-home kits for fixing your own cracked iPhone screen. Although these products walk you through the same general process that professional repair technicians follow, they are not worthy substitutes for letting a pro do the job. Replacing the screen of an iPhone is much more challenging than simply popping it in and out. Are you comfortable removing a front-facing camera and menu button, and then re-installing them without any kind of loss of function?

Even a slight variation in placement can lead to problems. Furthermore, today’s phones rely on touchscreen functionality. If the screen is not placed in precisely the right position, then your touchscreen will become unresponsive, and you will need additional screen repairs. In contrast, iPhone repairs performed by our professional technicians come backed by a warranty, so if there is an ongoing problem with the screen, you can get it addressed without spending extra money.

How can I avoid future iPhone screen damage?

It is not possible to completely prevent iPhone screen damage from occurring. However, you can greatly reduce the odds that it will happen by only using your device with a screen protector and using a hard phone case that will protect your phone if you drop it.
