Screen damage if determined by Apple to be accidental is not covered by the regular warranty. If you have Applecare Plus you get two accidental damages/incidents for the life of the warranty at reduced cost.


iPhone Repair - Screen Damage [and links to other iPhone repair services] - https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/screen-damage - includes pricing.


iPhone Service Answer Center - https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service - "Learn more about iPhone service options, warranty, and pricing." Repair times.


Genius Bar appointment - Go to https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ > Get hardware help > iPhone > Repairs & Physical Damage > Screen is cracked > Bring in for Repair --> Sign in with Apple ID



Cost will also depend upon service availability and your country. If you have to take it to a third party Apple Authorized place I believe they can set their own price. In that case, try different places: How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) - https://locate.apple.com/country


If you paid for the phone with a credit card you can check if there is any coverage offered by the card company as part of using the card to make the purchase.
