Need a IPhone5 Screen where to get a OEM one

Apple does not supply parts. You cannot replace the screen yourself anyway without voiding the warranty.

I don't know? Do you have any insurance on the iPhone? You cannot add insurance to an already damaged device - no company will allow that.

The only parts available are used parts. Because there is no repair program for iOS devices, there is no parts supply chain other then private party salvaged used parts.

The out of warranty exchange fee from Apple will swap your damaged phone for a factory refurbished one - which does have a brand new screen and battery installed by the same company that makes new iPhones for Apple.

We can not advise you here on where to get parts for your iPhone as there are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts.

As for insurance, you can't buy insurance AFTER the fact...

Assuming you are in the UK

Apple will exchange for a refurbished unit for £179

Either that or live with a broken screen

Do you really expect any other answers on an Apple hosted Forum ................

Some Apple stores will replace the screen on an iPhone 5 while you wait. The cost is about half the cost of an exchange. check your local Apple stores.

MONOPOLY? Do you have any idea what a monopoly is? Apparently not. According to an article in the NY Times today there are currently 4,000 different smartphones on the market, from over a dozen different manufacturers. A monopoly means that one company controls the market for a product or service class.

And if you ask any of those manufacturers every last one of them will tell you that their devices are not user serviceable.

Not in the UK they don't ,see OP mentions pounds ...................

u can get OEM iphone 5 new screen onine

Looking at that web site (and be sure to read the fine print at the bottom of the various parts pages - I love how they refer to these as "leaked" parts from "our suppliers") those are countefeit, as KiltedTim says, or outright stolen/blackmarket parts.

There is no legitmate source of Apple original equipment parts. Apple does not repair, and since all refurbishment is done by the original manufacturer in their own facilities, there has never been any point in setting up a parts distribution system. Anything you buy online is either used/recycled, stolen, or counterfeit/fake parts. But, believe what you will - it's your money to throw away.

Apple does indeed repair. I was given that option when my phone developed a rattle. The Apple store was going to reglue the battery. Another person in the store was having their screen replaced while they waited in the store.

As to what Apple actually repairs beyond screens and batteries I do not know.

The screen replacement option is only for some models of iPhone, is only available in some stores (and not all countries) and is a quite new option.

I have never known Apple to offer repair of a battery for any iOS device. Apple's battery replacement service for iOS devices involves replacing your entire device with a factory refurbished unit (as clearly explained in their support section on the iPhone battery replacement service). They do not service the battery in your existing device.

Other than that, no, they do not repair, they replace with service units, and send the exchanged item back to the manufacturer for recycle or refurbishment. Refrubished units all have new screens and new batteries.

And regardless, the initial answer to the original post is that there is no legitmate source of new original equipment parts for any iOS device. Even for those devices Apple is beginning to initiate in-store repairs for (the iPhone 5s and 5c were in part specifically redesigned to accomodate in-store repairs of some things), they will not sell just parts to anyone.

Bull. Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all.
