Certainly. I'm going on the following three bits of information:

  1. The back glass repair option for AppleCare+ only applies to iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, and again assumes there is no other damage (such as damage to the metal frame band). -- credit: Michael Black ASC
  2. Apple will stop replacing the whole iPhone just to repair Face ID sensors or cracked glass - iDB
  3. AppleCare Products - Apple. The following image is taken from this article:

Lawrence, I found this in the knowledge base article:


"What if I have AppleCare+ for iPhone?

AppleCare+ gives you expert technical support and hardware coverage from Apple, including accidental damage protection. Each incident of accidental damage is subject to a service fee. 

If you don't have AppleCare+, you'll pay the out-of-warranty fee for that type of repair.


 Screen-only or back-glass only* damageAny other damageAppleCare+ service fee$ 29$ 99

* Back-glass only repairs are available for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models only. Terms and conditions apply.

Not sure if you're covered? Check if you have AppleCare+ coverage by entering your iPhone serial number.

According to MacRumours this went into effect on September 21, 2021. But I cannot find anything in the article regarding repairing the back glass WITHOUT AppleCare +.
