I have an iphone 12, with a cracked screen that needs replacing, my nearest apple store is MH Sheffield, do I have to book a slot for a new screen replacement and how much does it cost and can I wait for the repair?
You always need to make an appointment at the Apple Store, but if you are planning to use an authorized Apple service shop, an appointment is not usually needed.
You can find a list of authorized Apple service shops in your area using this link:
Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
Plan to drop the phone off and allow 4-6 hours for repairs. It will depend on how busy the shop is at the time. Be sure to check with the shop in advance to confirm that they have the new screen in stock. Otherwise, you will need to allow an additional 2-3 days for parts to be ordered and received.
Screen repair / replacement cost is about $300 (U.S.). If the battery also needs replacing, add another $100 (U.S.) Cost in the U.K. would be about 225 Pounds and about 75 pounds (estimated).

- Use the Get Estimate tool to find out the price for your model. It is best that you do that since I do not assume you are in the same country as me.
You may need to contact the store to get answers to your time questions. It will depend upon what they have available. The quickest repair might entail simply giving you a ready refurbished model, in which case make sure you have backed up your old phone.
