iPhone screen repairs cost almost $400??
- doublepg23 5y agoOLED screens are still surprisingly expensive IME, especially at the high quality Apple procures. It's $200 for a modern iPhone screen itself on eBay, and adding labor plus Apple tax it doesn't seem that insane.
- ksec 5y ago>OLED screens are still surprisingly expensive IME OLED has actually been cheaper than LCD since 2020 for Mobile Display Panel at the same PPI. Even at it peak ( iPhone X ) including glass it wouldn't cost Apple more than $120. Right now it down close to $80. Mostly because Apple insist on using flexible display and how they blend the notch. There are plenty more OLED cost optimisation coming in the next 10 years.
