Cracked Screen? What It Really Costs to Fix Your Phone

A cracked screen is the most common phone injury we see at TechPoint LLC. But many people assume a screen replacement will cost almost as much as a new phone, so they live with a spiderweb of cracks for months. Let's clear up the confusion.

iPhone Screen Repair Costs

iPhone screen replacement costs vary by model. Older models like the iPhone 11 or 12 are typically more affordable to repair, while newer models like the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro Max cost more due to OLED panel pricing. In every case, a screen repair is significantly cheaper than buying a new phone outright.

Samsung & Android Screen Repair

Samsung Galaxy devices, especially the foldable Z series, can have higher repair costs due to the complexity of their displays. However, standard Galaxy S-series screens are very reasonable to replace. Google Pixel repairs are similarly affordable.

Repair vs. Replace: The Math

Let's say your iPhone 14 has a cracked screen. A repair might cost $150-$250. A new iPhone 16 costs $800+. Even if you trade in the cracked phone, you're still spending hundreds more than the repair. If your phone is less than 3 years old and works fine otherwise, repairing the screen is almost always the smarter financial choice.

Don't Wait — Cracks Spread

One of the biggest mistakes people make is waiting. That small crack in the corner will spread across the entire screen over time. Worse, a cracked screen compromises the water resistance of your phone, making it vulnerable to liquid damage. The sooner you fix it, the cheaper it stays.
