i mean, use that argument at a mechanics. most jobs are easy and cheap to do but youre paying for labour
What.
Building a house is also easy if you have knowledge, skill, tools and time.
it is literally a 10 minute job (max)
yup pretty much, no finger print reader so the button is so simple so swap over.
I don't know about super easy. I've upvoted for the cheap link but the job itself takes about 20 minutes to do even for people like me who have done 10+ iPhone screen replacements across different models. $60 all up is about as good as it will get for someone else to do it for you.
Taking the front facing camera, speaker, proximity sensor, LCD frame and more off the original broken screen and getting it into the new screen is a long process in addition to the basic removal of screws, flex cables and prying the casing apart. It's about 20 minutes all up and it's hard for those who don't have a very steady hand. One slip and you tear a flex cable that results in a much more expensive repair and those things break if you sneeze at them hard. For iPhone 5s and up models a slip on the homebutton flex cable means never being able to use touch ID again (without a paid for trip to the Apple store - unless things have changed).
Actually just this morning I did a battery replacement on a 6s. In theory it's a simple job I've done a few times before with other models however I found out that the battery replacement is really hard if you can't get the adhesive strips off in a single go. If they are old the adhesive strips will tear rather than pull through regardless of technique. I had to spend 15 minutes carefully prying the adhesive strips away but I still tore the black casing of the battery as the original adhesive turned to solid glue (but silver protective sleeve still intact). What could have taken 3 minutes ended up taking 30.
EDIT: Wrote all of that before I realised this is a glass only repair, and not full LCD assembly repair - oooooops.
Limited time offer?
Is this cheap?
$60 is a pretty normal price for an iPhone 5 these days. Usually for a new third party screen (China copy, some claim OEM screens)
Because of the conditions stated (This price is for the LCD and Touch working with no dead pixel and no blue yellow pink haze and no naked LCD.) they are in fact just replacing the glass during the repair, or swapping out with an already refurbed screen/glass and then refurbing your cracked glass screen with new glass and on-selling again. In effect you are buying a used screen if that is the case.
Oh wait this deal doesn't with the LCD assembly? It's a glass only repair? When I read that sentence the first time I thought it meant that it came with it, not that it was a prerequisite.
Revoking my +1.
Well it may be a complete replacement, but I assume they want to keep your old working LCD with cracked glass (to replace glass and on-sell again).
I don't think it would be worth the risk to the OP to replace screens to keep original OEM to onsell them when really high quality copies can now be found cheaply. They would still need to repair it?
I've replaced my mums iPhone 5s screen twice. Each time was the main LCD assembly with glass but no camera, sensors or buttons.
The first replacement was around $50 (cheapest I could find at the time) and it was noticeably worse than the original. Pixel persistence, brightness, colour saturation and more - everything was really off. It was noticeable enough that my mum could even see that it was worse and she's the kind of person who could sit through a cam-rip of a movie and barely tell the difference to the HDR blu ray.
A bit over a year later I got a second replacement for $25 delivered and after the job was done I thought the screen quality to be very close if not just as good as the original. I compared it to my old iPhone 5 (never been dropped) and it's bang on. It does however have the very faint capacitive digitiser lines that can only be seen when the screen is off (a possible test I've made up myself to see if a screen is OEM is that those lines won't be visible, but I don't know if it's a rule of thumb or not).
@c0balt:
Cost of glass + glue is less than a dollar each when bought in bulk. So is definitely worth it for them. Some large resellers/repairers even buy back LCDs with cracked class for a few dollars for the purpose of replacing the cracked glass then using the repaired assembly for customer repairs.
