Broken iPhone 5 Screen... Cost to Replace???

I had the un-lucky distinction to become the first person to break their iPhone 5 screen in my entire county.  I went to our local repair shop and they said with the new technology replacement parts were extremely expensive and hard to find.  After $350, two "defective" replacement screens, and 3 weeks later, the owner of the repair shop gave me the new screen off his personal iPhone 5 (which really was a stand up gesture).  I was just wondering if iPhone 5 screen replacments were as expensive for you in the community.  Once again to summarize:
iPhone 5 Screen Replacement:
-$350 plus tax up front
-2 defective screen attempted to be installed
-3 week total turn around time
Thanks for you replys

Here is my extremely broken, but still functional iPhone5!!!

  • Where do broken iPhone screens go after Apple replaces them?

    Was just wondering where do broken iPhone screens go after Apple replaces them
    Our business buys them back from non-official iPhone repair centers but it seems Apple stores don't have the authority (for good cause) to sell to a company like ours. Regardless, I was wondering what Apple might do with them as I'm sure it's tens of thousands a week if they added up from all of their locations in just the US alone.

    I always assumed they went to Apple Heaven.

  • Broken iphone screen and backing up

    I broke my iphone screen, and i can't see anything. the screen is partially coming off. i never had the chance to back it up before and didn't know how to. i just tried to back it up but its telling me i need to enter in my password in order to back it up, Is there any other way to get my pictures onto my computer?

    No.  Frequent backups of any device that can easily be droped, broken, or damaged should have been performed.  If you failed to do this, then your data are gone.

  • Iphone 5 cost for replacement

    hi,
    i had dropped my iphone 5 last week and had the screen replaced as it had cracked. The phone is now having problems with its speaker and internail camera . Does anyone know if the apple store will replace my iphone/fix it and how much it will cost. I am in Australia

    Thank you for your response Peter. What if the phone is out of warranty period, will apple still replace or fix the pohone at a price or will they not touch it at all. I am just tempted to purchase a new phone.

  • Broken iphone screen

    Apple with all the knowledge and technology they have has done a very poor job on their crystal like screens. My family and I have 4 iphone4s and mine fell in an apple bumper from my hand and the screen got shattered. Apple store is asking $199 for replacement. IT is not fair if apple can't produce a shatter proof screen. I am a loyal Apple consumer, but this one is hard to digest. I need my phone really bad, since I am in car business and need to use bar codes constantly.

  • Insured Broken iPhone 6 with no replacement

    Oh, Verizon.  You have once again boned me without the courtesy of a warning.
    I would like you to know I am a proud owner if a brand spanking new iPhone 6.  On 9.15.14, I bit the bullet and wandered into a Verizon store in the city I live.  I was greeted promptly and assisted right away.  I told the associate that I needed to upgrade my old iPhone 4s to the new iPhone 6.  I also explained to him I was going to need the phone as soon as possible, as my 4s was malfunctioning.
    We discussed new plans, and although my previous plan was adequate enough for my husband and I, I listened to his pitch.  I did decide to upgrade our plan, and was given an option that was right for our cellular needs.  After that was decided, I was offered an iPad, which I declined.  We finalized the color and memory size that wasn't on backorder.  I was then offered an iPad.  I declined.  Again.
    Here is where my experience really gets interesting.  I told this gentleman that I wanted to purchase insurance on my phone.  (did you know Verizon associates are paid on how many insurance packets they sell??)  I looked him square in the face and told him my very presence around electronics causes them to fail.  We went over the details of the insurance. Like, how if I was to damage my phone, the insurance company would have me a replacement phone within 24 hours.  How much it was per month.  Then, after all of this, I was offered an iPad.  Which I again declined.
    After all of the charges were discusses, like the $30.00 upgrade fee (am I really paying YOU to keep ME as a customer???) and the monthly insurance coverage, I was told to sign for the account changes, on his IPad.  No printed receipt, just a torn in half piece of paper with notes on it.  I guess his iPad wasn't working well.  No receipt proving I purchased the insurance.  Thank you, Verizon, for silently screwing me without my consent.

    For some reason, the post posted without it complete.  Here is the rest of the story
    Alas, I dropped my phone.  On the ground.  That was concrete. (this was on Monday the 25th) You can guess what happened.  I called Verizon to find out how to file a claim.  After 5 attempts of calling without being hung up on or being redirected to someone that doesn't answer the phone, I was connected to someone that did verify I had insurance.  He texted me the number to call.  I called the insurance company.  She took all of my information and said I did, once again, have insurance.  But, she told me that my phone didn't have any "air time", therefore was not covered under my policy.
    Back to Verizon.  I walked back into the store where I pre-ordered it and was told there was a 20-30 minute wait to be assisted.  When I asked him if the wait time really was 20-30 minutes, I was told to "deal with it".  35 minutes later, I was approached and assisted.  My concern was documented and I explained about the call to the insurance company.  He called them from their land line and told me she would need to speak to him to resolve.  When I got them on the phone, my "no air time" went to "no insurance purchased".  I was then told there wasn't anything else she could do to help me. 
    I told the associate that he needed to fix whatever this was.  He went to the back and got his manager.  Let's bring Sam into the picture.  He told me that Verizon had only one record of purchasing insurance on the phone and that was the morning I broke my phone.  After I told them I broke it.  Before I started the claim...get where I am going here?
    I, at this point, was very upset.  When I told him I had purchased the insurance when I PRE-ORDERED MY PHONE, he told me he had spoken to the associate that took my initial order and that I DECLINED the insurance.  The only thing he could do at this point was offer me an early upgrade (FOR A FEE!!!!!) and buy another iPhone. He kept repeating that I declined the insurance and he couldn't help me.  And he sure didn't help me.  All he did was look on the computer and say that I didn't have insurance. I told him I wasn't leaving until there was a resolution.  I asked about cancelling the plan and started to receive a lot of attitude.  I just finally, thinking I was completely screwed even though I KNEW I purchased it, asked for a printed receipt for the initial pre-order of the phone.
    My husband texted me pictures of the receipt I had where it PROVED I HAD INSURANCE.  20 minutes later, when they emerged from the back, I showed them the pictures through the shattered screen of my INSURED iPhone.  It seems they had the same document in their hand showing THE SAME THING!!  With the date being September 15, 2014.
    I was treated like I was a liar and a thief by the STORE MANAGER of a CORPORATE store.  The level of disrespect that I was shown was absolutely reprehensible.  If I treated any of my customers the way I was treated, I would have been fired on the spot.  I find this incredibly unacceptable.  And unprofessional.  And disrespectful (didn't I say that one already...?).  I couldn't let this experience end at that store.  I can't imagine another one of your customers being treated that was again.  NO CUSTOMER should ever be treated that way.  FOR ANY REASON.
    I was at that store for 2 hours that night.  2 HOURS and I have no resolution.  A piece of tape over the screen and a "promise" of a phone call and a new phone by the end of the week.  It has been 4 days without being contacted.  I would like to see how some of these empty promises be met.  I would also like to be personally contacted as soon as someone feels like they can help me.  It's about time customer service becomes actual customer service again.

  • I can't sync/back up iPhone data to my computer b/c iPhone screen is shattered and i cant unlock it to enter in my passcode. How can I sync my broken iPhone with my computer and back up my data so I can sync and transfer the data to my replacement iPhone?

    I can't sync my iPhone and back up my data with my computer because iTunes says to enter the passcode into my iPhone to unlock it, but I am unable to unlock and enter in my passcode on my iPhone because the screen is shattered. I have my replacement iPhone with me and I'm not going to activate it until I can sync/get the data from my broken iPhone. I have the envelope to send my broken iPhone back to the Verizon store or whatever so that's not a problem. I just can't sync my old iPhone with my computer.
    Thanks.

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

    The glass is part number 922-9795 and dvwarehouse sells it.  So that might give you an estimate of the minimum cost for replacement (unless you do it yourself).

  • Cost of replacing a broken or stolen iPhone?

    I'm planning to buy the iPhone when it comes out on O2 in the UK, but I'm a little unclear about whether the cost of the iPhone itself is subsidised or just a standard purchase.
    In the UK it's common to get a phone free or cheap when taking out a contract. If the phone gets damaged or stolen, then the cost of buying a replacement (if it's not insured) is substantially more than the original price.
    Does anyone know what the situation is with the iPhone - anyone using AT&T had such an incident? Can you go out and buy another iPhone and carry on using it with your existing contract, or do you have to pay a higher price for a replacement.
    Along a similar line, if Apple were to bring out a better version of the iPhone in future, would existing customers have to wait for their contracts to end before getting the upgrade, or could they simply buy the new phone and continue with their existing iPhone tarriff?
    Message was edited by: bilbo_baggins

    I would presume that the cost of replacement is just the normal cost of the phone - but there is no information to confirm this - that is why I'm a little unclear.
    The reason for wanting to know is so I can decide on whether it's worth considering insurance, cases etc. If it's simply a case of buying another iPhone then fair enough - if it turns out that you cannot buy another iPhone without signing up to an additional contract (and so paying two lots of £35 per month) or paying vastly more than the initial purchase price for a replacement, then I would be far more concerned about protecting my iPhone.
    Really it's a balance between cost of insurance vs risking it, and the bulkiness and inconvenience of using a case vs increased risk of damage.
