The one consumable much harder to replace is the oleophobic coating. There are drops you can buy and apply, they seem to work alright, but don't last nearly as long as the factory coating.
By year two, the screen just gets grubbier and grubbier. By year three its just plan nasty.
- arcticbull 2y agoIf you get AppleCare+ the screen replacement is $29. I usually get it replaced right before I can hand it off to my family. It's not as good a deal obviously if you don't plan on getting AppleCare+ anyways.
- Dylan16807 2y agoIf the drops work, then are you forgetting to reapply them every few months, or is that not viable, or what?
- bzzzt 2y agoSeems you need to apply them about every month because they wear off so fast. And then you're looking at multiple $18 bottles per year...
- causi 2y agoIt's very easy to just apply a glass screen protector which has a fresh new oleophobic coating on it.
- itchyouch 2y agoI buy them in packs of 3-5 on ebay for $5-10. (no need to buy the really expensive brands) They are quick to replace, have a nice oleophobic coating on them, and can be replaced as frequently as desired.
