How to fix broken iphone 4 back glass?

Hi,

Has anyone fixed their iphone 4 broken glass? Is it done in apple stores?

Heard its cheap only $199 and glass breaks only if dropped from more than a feet.

Unfortunately I dropped more than a feet 😟

Thanks,
SR

iphone 4, iOS 4

Changing the back glass is dead easy and takes a maximum of 5 minutes:

- remove the 2 pentalobe screws

- slide the glass out

- put the new glass in

- screw your screws (or replacement phillips screws) back


done!

I am not sure is this voids the warranty, but it should not...


It does. The previous post in this thread (ten months ago) got it right.

Hey Guys,

I did a change for my niece who smashed the front digitizer and the back glass.

I did the whole thing myself. It was fiddly, but not too difficult. Few tools needed.

A couple of hours (with some coffee in between) and hey presto.

If your iPhone 4 is broken front or back or both, and if your eyes are good, then why not dive right in. There is a great reward in disassembling the whole iPhone and rebuilding it and then everything works great!


Have fun.
