## iPhone Screen Repair: Glass vs LCD
Did you know there are two types of screen damage? Understanding the difference can save you hundreds of Ringgit.
### 1. Glass Only Damage (Cheaper)
If your screen is cracked but:
- The touch works perfectly.
- There are no lines, black spots, or color bleeding.
- The display looks normal.
Then you might be eligible for **Glass Refurbishment**. This involves specialized machinery to slice the broken glass off and bond a new one, keeping your original Apple LCD/OLED panel.
### 2. LCD/Display Damage (Standard Price)
If you have:
- Green/Pink vertical lines.
- "Touch disease" (touch not responding).
- Black ink-like spots.
You need a **Full Assembly Replacement**.
### Price Comparison (Estimates)
| Model | Glass Only Repair | Full Assembly (OLED) |
|-------|-------------------|----------------------|
| iPhone 13 Pro Max | RM 450 | RM 900+ |
| iPhone 14 Pro | RM 550 | RM 1,200+ |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | RM 700 | RM 1,500+ |
### True Tone & Face ID Warning
Swapping an iPhone screen is complex.
- **Face ID**: Linked to the earpiece/sensorflex. If a clumsy technician tears this, Face ID is gone forever. We take extreme care here.
- **True Tone**: Requires a programmer tool to copy serial data from old screen to new. We always do this.
- **"Unknown Part" Message**: On iPhone 11 and newer, a non-Apple serialized screen will show a message. This does NOT affect performance, just a settings notification.
### Why Choose Techfix?
We offer both options. If your LCD is good, we won't charge you for a full assembly. Honest pricing is our policy.
