Getting your mobile phone repaired is never a pleasant job, and when it comes to the iPhone, it gets worse due to the costs involved. One of the most widely used Apple phones today is the iPhone XR. The iPhone generation X has brought in many new features and is seen as a major improvement over earlier versions and has become a darling for many, especially the XR phone, as it is relatively less expensive.
Is your iPhone XR damaged and wondering how much of your pocket will burn? Here is some data for you.
One of the most common issues is damage to the back glass of the phone. The iPhone XR back glass replacement cost in India can vary between Rs. 2000 and Rs. 4000. These replacement glasses come in matching colours to your phone. While the backglass itself costs as little as 500–600, replacing a broken requires a special skill set as it is not easy to remove and fix, and that costs a ton. Though there are DIY kits available with detailed instructions, it is still not an easy job as the back glass is attached with hard glue and is hard to remove. And worst of all, you have to spend all this iPhone XR back glass replacement costyourself, as accidental damage is not covered by Apple Care even if you have one. Though Apple Care+ covers accidental damage, it is not available in India.
The second most common damage is a broken screen. One can get an OEM iPhone XR screen replacement for Rs. 11500 and it comes with an 18-month warranty. You can get cheaper screens from vendors such as iTweak. With them, the iPhone XR display price can be around Rs. 9000, but it comes with only 6 months of warranty.
As always is the case, the most reliable and assured way of getting your iPhone XR repaired is to go to an authorised Apple service centre, but these cost a lot. Using DIY kits can be a good option, but only if you are a geek and not for normal people. You can get much cheaper options from local repair shops, but it involves risks. Take your call!
