That's crazy.

I remember reading and article that Apple wanted to open a retail store in Israel, but no mall accepted their terms, here is the article: https://9to5mac.com/2019/04/01/apple-store-in-israel/

Too bad.

I guess without an official Apple store there, the local resellers can inflate their prices due to lack of competition. Unfair!

There could be a few things at work here. One is that only a fraction of AASPs around the world have access to Apple's "Horizon Machines" that are supposed to be used after reassembly to check on mechanical integrity, display calibration, communications between the processor and biometrics, etc. In such as case, then the "repair" would be done as a full device replacement. That being said, I thought that they would typically set the price similar to that of an actual service.

You can't really go by how much a screen replacement costs in the US and then convert the currency, that isn't how it works. There is not a standard fee across the world based up US prices. Ask them at iDigital how much an out-of-warranty replacement is. And what was the retail cost of your phone when you purchased it?

Are you sure they are just replacing the screen? Sounds to me like they are doing an out-of-warranty replacement of the entire device.

You can get as much attention to your complaint by going out in the street and yelling at people. No one from Apple will see it here. Where did you purchase this iPhone?
