iPhone 4 Screen Replacement (Cracked)
As you can tell by the direct subject line of my post, yes, my iPhone 4 screen is knackered.
My phone slipped off of my office chair today when I put it down mid-text to read an email. It's about a whole foot off the ground, since I like to low-ride around at work. I picked it up, nonchalant, as you do if it has a small fall, looked at the screen and gasped. I never thought they were that fragile!
Anyhoo, I was wondering how much it would cost for an iPhone 4 screen replacement in GBP from Apple.
I phoned their automated system and the nice robotic girl was very helpful at not being very helpful at all. I never thought I'd try and argue with The Terminator's sister, but I did!
I've decided against insurance since most (if not all companies) are wanting about £100 upfront for any iPhone 4 claim + the monthly premiums. Plus trying to claw any sort of solace out of an insurance company usually takes about 6 months.
I've had a look at a couple of third party repairs companies and mobileease.co.uk seems like one of the best bets thus far, although I don't know if they'd use the fabled and genuine aluminosilicate glass.
I can't seem to find the price for an Apple repair anywhere online. I was even quoted £60 for an iPhone screen via my service provider (Which I think was for a 3G/3GS).
I think my iPhone 4 could of used a replacement screen anyways, as there were some major scratches around my screen and it was hard to use it in direct sunlight.
Thanks in advance for reading my rant,
Jamie.
