Where to buy genuine Apple iphone screens?

<< < (3/3)

GTIEagles:
From what I have learnt when trying to source a genuine screen is that the genuine screens are only available from Apple or an approved Apple repair shop. The only place I know of that actually sell genuine refurbished screens is this place: https://shop.mendmyi.com/ but I couldn't see any iPhone 7 screens listed.

Thanks mate, I did have a look around the net at some guides and youtube clips before cracking out the tools.   I did consider the refurbed ones but wanted something better than 12 months warranty.  I fell foul of the 'OEM' like quality sales pitch which is very prevalent these days.  As with cars, there is no such thing as OEM like, it's either OEM or it isn't.

It seems Apple are purposely restricting supply of the factory screens to authorised repairers only, such as Carphone Warehouse, Apple stores etc etc.   Whilst the screen I got from Replacebase 'works' and is no doubt better than the cheap £30 ones, you can immediately see all of the icons just looked bleached out, and the deep black of the original screen is replaced with that LCD backlight washout you get on cheap TVs.

I think the worst thing is the loss of the home button.  All of my logins were fingerprint authentication!!  :grin:   It's like going back in time.  You don't realise how quickly you adapt to progress until you lose it.  Still, thanks to the Accessibility functions, the phone is at least usable in the meantime.
