Sorry, but Apple does not repair just parts of an iPhone 4s, if you decide to pay the service fee, Apple will replace the whole unit for that price:


Out-of-warranty repair service
If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

If you choose the UK on that page, the price seems to be a bit higher:


Out-of-Warranty Service

If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for out-of-warranty (OOW) service, Apple will service your iPhone for the out-of-warranty service fee listed below.

Please note out-of-warranty repair service fees from your carrier may be different than those listed below.

Model Out-of-warranty service fee
iPhone 6 Plus £ 266.44
iPhone 6 £ 236.44
iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c,
iPhone 5
£ 206.44
iPhone 4s £ 166.44
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G
£ 126.44

The out-of-warranty service fee includes a £ 7.44 shipping fee, which applies only if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in British pound sterling and include VAT. iPhone out-of-warranty service may also be available from your wireless carrier. Pricing may vary.
