Should you throw away a smartphone with a cracked display, or is it worth getting it repaired? How can you do it? How much does it cost? Is an original or a compatible display better? Today, the guys at iPhone Repair Dubai will answer these and other questions about displays and other components, like the battery!

Let's start right away with a practical example. I bought an iPhone XR with a broken display, a refurbished device that costs AED 2599. Repairing rather than throwing away and replacing certainly makes sense from an environmental sustainability perspective, but does it also make sense from an economic standpoint? The answer is "it depends." It depends because we are faced with four options. We can choose between a compatible display costing 500 AED, a top-quality compatible display with the best color gamut for 600 AED, a refurbished Apple display for 750 AED, and a new Apple display for 800 AED. Leaving aside the new Apple display, which is too expensive for the XR's value, the other three are all valid and sensible alternatives.

The difference between a compatible display and the original Apple one

What would be the difference between a compatible display and the original Apple one? The color gamut is slightly lower, and the white point may be different, but from what I've seen, the differences are only

noticeable when placing them side by side. Overall, I consider a compatible display a really good choice, especially on older models like the XR. The same goes for replacing the battery, which is available in both original and compatible versions with the same capacity and on other components.

Let's finish with the warranty, which depends on the component. For example, iPhone Repair Dubai offers a 12-month warranty on the display and a 6-month warranty on the compatible battery, because Apple's policies only cover the original battery for 3 months. In short, an excellent service both for saving money and avoiding having to buy new phones and for supporting the virtuous nature of the circular economy... and the results are satisfying.
