A woman walked into our location last week holding an iPhone that looked like it had been attacked by Wolverine.

She said:

“I got it fixed for $60 at the flea market… and then it turned green. Now Face ID doesn’t work. Can you fix that?”

😬

That’s when we realized:

People don’t know what iPhone screen repair is supposed to cost — or what they’re actually getting when it’s dirt cheap.

So let’s break it down. What it really costs to fix your iPhone screen in Barrie, and how to avoid deals that turn your phone into a glowing brick.

💥 Why Your iPhone Screen Broke (Other Than Gravity and Bad Luck)

It usually happens in one of three ways:

• Drops from waist height (aka the “toilet toss”)
• Falls off a car roof (yes, again)
• Gets thrown in a minor emotional crisis (way too common then we’re willing to admit)

Modern iPhones are glass front AND back. They’re gorgeous. And also fragile like a teenage heart.

🧠 OLED vs LCD: The Hidden Price Difference Nobody Tells You About

There are two main types of iPhone screens in the wild:

✅ OEM OLED (Original or high-grade aftermarket)

• Looks amazing
• Deep blacks, rich color
• Responsive touch
• Feels like a brand new phone
• Costs more — but worth it

⚠️ LCD (Low-end aftermarket)

• Dull colors
• Laggy touch
• Often causes ghost touch or “line bleed”
• Cheap as chips
• But your phone will feel like a knockoff

When someone quotes you $80 for a screen repair, it’s almost always LCD. We offer both — but we’re honest about what each one means. Your choice, your consequences.

🚨 Hidden Costs of Cheap Repairs

Let’s say you went with a $60 repair at a pop-up mall booth:

• No warranty
• No frame adhesive
• Dust under the screen
• Touch lags after 2 days
• Face ID? Nope
• You’re back here in a week, sadder and poorer

Cheap screen repair is the most expensive repair in disguise.

We wrote a whole blog post about it here if you want the full horror show.
