I literally just paid $200 for my daughters phone to get fixed 3 days ago and she cracked it again! When I do decide to fix it I’m definitely trying this thank you so much! All these positive reviews are amazing and makes me Hopeful I can do it myself.
You definitely got charged way too much. The costs for the screen are about $45-$80 depending on the quality grade. $120 additionally for an 0,5 to 1 hour of work is insane. Here, In the Netherlands repairing an XR screen may cost $85-$110.
I just replaced my iphone screen watching this videoand it only cost me $50 bucks, the repair shop wanted $160. You saved me a lotta money bro, thank you so much.
Thanks a ton for this video! I just successfully repaired my daughters iPhone! I've changed a couple of screens on iPhone 4 and 5 way back and I love the feeling of turning on the phone and seeing it come back to life.
You missed a very important step. You can get replacement seals for the chassis of the phone and that will help it retain its water resistance. you should thuroughly scrape off and clean the old gasket with alcohol and a plastic scraper and reapply a new one. this way you keep your OEM features
@@justink34 The cost of that apple care during the year that I had the phone before it needed the screen replacement would've been $100+ and then you add on the $29 for the replacement as you pointed out. Based on my calculations a $60 DIY screen replacement is the better option. Plus I'm not continuing to pay for apple care making my decision more and more worth while every month.
Thank you so much!!! Following this video allowed me to replace the screen on my XR with minimal frustration. These step by step instructions are perfect! Hardest part was getting the little screws back in even though my tools were magnetic. I ordered one of the screens you recommended from Amazon, although I should have ordered an isesame tool or whatever you use to pry open the screen from the shell. The screen I ordered came with all the other tools I needed except it only had a little plastic guitar pick for prying up the screen, which just couldn't do the job. I ended up using a mini flathead screwdriver to get it open, which ended up leaving a little spot of damage on the shell where I first popped open the screen, however it's barely noticeable and is covered by my normal phone case. I'll take that little hidden spot of scratched aluminum over the huge crack I had going through my old screen!
@@aidaford5094 Yes I transferred the front facing camera to the new screen when I did the replacement and the Face ID and selfie mode still works as good as new after about 2 months, have never had an issue with that or any of the touch capabilities of the screen. The transfer of the camera from the old screen to the new one was a little nerve racking as I was worried about breaking something, but I just took it slow and watched that part of the video several times and actually watched one or two other videos on RUclips of people doing it, so I had multiple perspectives and angles to watch and it worked out fine. The only odd thing about the screen I've noticed is that when unlocking and sliding the lock screen up, sometimes the lock screen goes up part way and then pauses or freezes for half a second before continuing up the rest of the way, don't think I ever noticed that with the original screen, but it doesn't really interfere or cause problems so it doesn't bother me. Also the battery drains a little faster than it used to, it's not terrible and I'm not even sure if it's from the new screen or just because the phone's a few years old now.
Thank you for this tutorial, very easy to follow and I’ve replaced my screen, but now the colors of all my photos are a lot darker and not as good definition. It’s an LCD screen also bought from amazon- also I’ve noticed the phone got warm after as well- could it be bad quality screen ?
After market screen quality is not as good as Apple OEM. Sometimes you might able to find use Apple OEM screen on eBay. If you go with after market, try soft OLED, it has better quality of all after market screens.
In Australia it’s about $300 for screen replacement from the apple store or retailer. I just looked up an XR screen replacement kit and it was from $50 to $150, if that is correct you have just saved me so much money and time!!
Great tutorial thank you! Saved me a ton of money. The only thing I would add is my replacement screen came with the adhesive to put in it which you need to do before connecting the ribbon cables. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for this video. I just bought the kit , trying to fix up my old iPhone screen just to have a back up. You explained very well and demonstrated very well. New sub!
Amazing! This was stressful at times where the screws wouldn’t unscrew. Make sure you use the right one all the time, otherwise you can cause damage to screw or screw driver, luckily I had two sets of screw drivers. But yes still better than paying more, good luck to others
Bro I think I f*cked myself , none of the screw drivers are working , the screen replacement came with 3 ... I tried all 3 screwdrivers , I think I stripped the tiny screw holding the screen together
Thank you, very helpful! I have replaced screens on other iPhones before but I was not sure how to swap the camera over, your video was just what I needed.
I called 3 places to get this screen fixed. $120-150, FU a$#ho13$!!! I ordered a screen for $10 on Ebay, followed this video and fixed it myself. Thank you.
im going to buy a second hand Xr with a broken screen this video is perfect for me to change my screen at home these step by step instruction are wonderful really appericate your video man good work
Thank you very much my dad had needed a screen replacement but we can not afford to get it repaired so I had done it. It is so clear that I could understand it and I am 13.
I remember a few years ago my old iPhone 5c’s lcd was broken and I had ordered a screen replacement and successfully repaired it. I was 8 years old at the time. I’m 14 now and recently repaired my iPhone XR
Great tutorial, but removing the inner screws is soooo frustrating, even though I got the full kit! Especially when you're fixing while recuperating from COVID! It is exasperating😮💨
I’m no phone technician but I fix my own phones and looks like you forgot or just didn’t do a few things. Like the camera mounting you left on the old screen and you kept saying saying the proximity sensor cable/ear piece is the camera. Camera is fitted to the phone. And always test the display before putting brackets back
he was talking about the rear facing cameras and mic, the camera mounts where already installed on his screen, and he tested the phone before putting it back
I used this tutorial a couple of months ago for my phone and it worked! But I didn’t put adhesive around the screen. It was in nice and tight but I dropped it in the toilet tonight and the water started to spread all inside of my screen so fast! My phone was glitching so bad and I knew it was done for 😭😭 it finally turned off and won’t turn back on 😢 BUT, I have an extra phone however, and the screen is just cracked so I will be ordering another screen and using this video again to fix that phone 🎉😊 hopefully I can be more responsible next time, cause I’m honestly over it at this point 😒🙂
Thank you! had some annoying little bit of dust infront of my front camera and all my videos were blurry. This saved me a costly repair for something very simple. Liked
having done this repair yourself, do you think someone could do this with no experience in tech? I want to replace my screen but i'm worried about damaging it further
@@niamhg2354 it will be complicated for the average user. It’s best to practice repairing and always start with test devices and not your main. I am 14 and have been repairing iPhones since I was 8.
I’m having trouble putting the screen back on. Everything works but I can’t seem to get the screen to fit into the frame. Do you have any tips in attaching the screen?
hello i just wanna say THANK YOU you have been a godsned i have been living with this ugly black dot on the side of my screen since foreverr and thanks to you i fixed it and everything works like new
Hi! Thanks so much for this video! I hope you don't mind that I have a few questions. WHICH of the linked replacement screens INCLUDE the back plate, please? (I do not wish to do that extra step). Do you suggest all three sets of tools linked, or which set or sets do you recommend (PREFER)? Do you have any recommendations on a BACK cover replacement? (I am not very careful with my phones, and they are beginning to show it). Thank you in advance. 🤗
Did my xr screen about 3 days ago works great Also camera and Face ID works too. Got the screen on Amazon. I didn’t Program the new screen so I won’t have True Tone. Only other thing I forgot was to put on the water resistant screen it came with. It will be blue. Other than that works perfectly!
Which is your favorite from the Amazon list. All seem within same price range, but I want to buy with backplate and waterproof seals. Which do you recommend?
Very good big man...but in future NEVER install a part on the phone while power running on the motherboard from the battery. You can cause unwanted damages but good job. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great video just know that your phone will not be water proof or water resistant because he did not replace the seal that holds the screen to the back. Other than that it is a great video!
As a novice DIY-er this is the best video I have used so far. Step by step guide that really helps. Saved my kids a half term from hell!

Wish you would have mentioned something about having to disconnect the batter I burnt my backlight because of the
How do you make the screen stay do you apply adhesive or just use the heat machine gun to stick it back together like original
You need to have adhesive seal to glue back as water resistant.
This is a great video just know that your phone will not be water proof or water resistant because he did not replace the seal that holds the screen to the back. Other than that it is a great video!
