Q: Can't see iphone screen with polarized lenses

Hello everyone! Recently my iphone 6 plus screen was broken so i had to return it to my carrier where i bought it from to have it fixed (under warranty).

 

After 1 month of wait, i've received my iphone fixed but i've noticed something strange. When my  phone is in portrait position, I can't see the screen at all with my Polarized sunglasses on!

 

Does that mean that the company who fixed my iphone's screen installed a not original apple screen?

    If whoever did the repair was not Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider, it's quite likely that it's not an original Apple screen. However, being able to see or not see it with polarized lenses doesn't, in itself mean that. I've see I phone screens that could be viewed through such lenses and ones that couldn't.

    All of my original Apple iPhones (6s, 7) work nicely with my polarized glasses.....

    Most likely the carrier used a non Apple glass - like a cheap Asian glass you can buy on eBay for $10 or less.
