Cracked I phone screen
The mrs dropped her iPhone 5 today doh. Anyone recommend a place to send it off for repair? Would prefer someone who uses genuine parts

Whatever you do, don't get an aftermarket screen installed!
I had this done and proximity sensors stopped working. Apparently the aftermarket screen lets too much light in. You'll be pressing speaker and other buttons with your face while on a call. |

I've been in the Apple store when they changed an iphone for the second time free of charge for a girl who had broken the screen. They warned her it was the last. I've seen other people take their water damaged phones back and get a refurbished replacement for £130. This was for the 4s, not sure how much for the 5. |

you post it to them, they call you with a price, you say yes or no, then the fix and return to you. will take no longer than a week I should think*
they fixed my Nano and had it back to me inside 3 days and it cost £50 but was cheaper than buying a new one, and mines the tiny old Nano that you cant get anymore. It was also cheaper than the official Apple repair. I cant remember how much the Iphone screen cost, but was cheaper than a new phone and worked as original once I got it back. *im not responsible if its not as easy as this for you! |
