Replacement back panel of the iPhone 8 is more expensive than replacement display
When Apple introduced the new generation of its smartphones, many liked the decision to use on the back of smartphones it was glass. I agree, it looks super tactile – also very nice. But all the glass has one drawback – fragility.
Yes, cupertinos claim that this is “the strongest glass ever used in a smartphone”. But it’s strength isn’t even close to, for example, aluminum alloy or some other metal.
Despite the fact that smartphones iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus only recently started appearing in the hands of real users, some have already managed to try a special AppleCare for yourself. Under this program you pay additional $ 129 and all subsequent repairs you made discounts. So, one of the users said that replacing the back panel falls under the category of “other damage” and it cost him an additional $ 99. At that time, as a replacement screen for the program costs an additional $ 29.
Experts believe that the cost of replacing the back panel associated with difficult removal and installation of this glass. Since it uses a very large number of special glue. So be careful and do not drop their smartphones onto the floor.
