NOPE. If you go anywhere other than Apple or an actual Apple Authorized Service Provider to have your screen replaced, you won't get an authentic screen and not only will Apple NOT accept the phone in trade, but they won't be willing to touch the phone if you have any other issues. You'll have a permanent message in the phone there are unauthentic parts installed and that will make it pretty difficult to even sell the phone yourself to someone else. Face ID will likely never work again (if your phone has Face ID).


So you decide if saving some money now, would be worth the negative impacts later........
