Original iPhone screens v copy screens
Is There a Difference? Customers who bring their iPhones to us for a screen repair are offered two choices of replacement- an original or a “copy” screen. The most common response is “Is there a difference- and which one would you recommend?”
... Originals are those screens containing LCDs that were manufactured for Apple. So-called “copy” screens are compatible replacements, but designed and manufactured entirely independently by third-party companies, typically in China.
Our answer is simple- the original screen is the one we’d go for ourselves, every time. Some people think we make more money on them, but this isn’t the case. We recommend originals because they’re far higher quality and the price difference is fairly small.
We’d rather only fit original screens. The only reason we don’t is that many people will shop around and choose purely on price. As such, we need to offer the cheaper copy screens to remain competitive and avoid losing these customers. In some cases, they didn’t even know there was a difference in the first place- especially since it’s not in some shops’ interest to draw people’s attention to the issue!
See the Difference for Yourself Recently a customer came to our store. They’d had their iPhone 7 screen replaced elsewhere, and they really weren’t happy with the quality.
We’re not surprised. Our photos show a huge difference between the copy screen that had been fitted and a genuine Apple original:-
The copy has much lower brightness, contrast and vibrancy– it looks generally “washed out”. The copy screen appears far coarser in normal use. Our microscope closeups make obvious that it has much lower resolution. When we tried removing it, the frame was already coming off the copy(!) This may well be the worst copy screen we’ve ever come across. As a result, the unfortunate customer has ended up paying twice to have their screen replaced- we’re sure that had they been properly informed, they would have chosen an original in the first place.
While the difference in price between copies and originals can vary across devices, it’s generally around £15 extra to have an original screen fitted. This really isn’t a lot considering the improved quality and reliability.
We compare our prices to our competitors- and we know that we come out of it favourably. While we have to offer copy screens to remain competitive, we always advise customers to go for the original.
When you’ve spent- directly or indirectly- several hundred pounds for an iPhone with a Retina display, it doesn’t make sense to replace it with a lower-quality screen that can make a £400 phone look like a £40 one! Not only that, but you’re likely to have fewer issues, and a longer-lasting screen.
We also offer a long warranty period with our original Apple Lcds
