## MacBook Screen Repair Pricing 2026: Complete Cost Analysis
A cracked MacBook screen is stressful, but overpaying for repair doesn't have to be. In 2026, the gap between authorized service pricing and independent specialists like Techfix has widened, offering smart consumers significant savings without compromising quality.
### 2026 Price Comparison Breakdown
| Model Family | Apple Authorized | Techfix (Premium OEM) | Savings |
|--------------|------------------|-----------------------|---------|
| MacBook Air M1/M2 | RM 1,800 - RM 2,200 | RM 850 - RM 1,100 | ~50% |
| MacBook Pro 13" (M1/M2) | RM 2,100 - RM 2,500 | RM 950 - RM 1,300 | ~55% |
| MacBook Pro 14" (XDR) | RM 3,200+ | RM 1,400 - RM 1,800 | ~50% |
| MacBook Pro 16" (XDR) | RM 3,800+ | RM 1,600 - RM 2,200 | ~50% |
### Why Is There Such a Price Difference?
**1. Component Sourcing**
Apple mandates replacing the entire "Display Assembly" (lid, hinges, cables, camera) even if just the LCD is cracked. At Techfix, we can often perform LCD-only replacements for specific models or source OEM-equivalent assemblies that cut out the "Apple Tax."
**2. Labor Rates**
Authorized centers charge premium hourly rates. Our specialized technicians work more efficiently, passing labor savings to you.
**3. Turnaround Time**
- **Apple**: 5-14 days (often sent to a central depot).
- **Techfix**: 2-4 hours (Same-day service).
### Quality Assurance: What Are You Paying For?
Many customers worry about "fake" screens. At Techfix, we prioritize transparency:
- **True Tone Retention**: We transfer the original IC chips to preserve True Tone functionality.
- **Brightness & Color**: We use panels that match the original PPI and nits brightness.
- **Warranty**: 90-day warranty on all screen replacements (vs 90 days from Apple).
### When to Choose Apple Authorized
- Your device is covered by **AppleCare+** (excess fee is cheap).
- The device is less than 1 year old (under standard warranty).
- You require absolute 100% original serial-number-matched parts for corporate policy.
### When to Choose Techfix
- **Out of Warranty**: Pricing is significantly better.
- **Accidental Damage**: Not covered by standard warranty.
- **Need It Fast**: You can't wait 2 weeks for a repair.
- **Older Models**: Apple considers 5+ year old Macs "Vintage" and won't fix them. We do.
