Myself? Cracked my iPhone 6s screen and the replacements you can buy on amazon etc aren’t original as some reviewers mention the touch is different or too bright etc etc although a lot of reviews are ok. One mentioned he later had it replaced at appple and it was miles better. An Apple store fix clearly is t worth it as cost is over £150 which is ridiculous.

So is it possible to buy a genuine screen that I can fit myself ? Or do they have it locked down

IIRC the screen is glued in and difficult to remove. Worth phoning these guys, good service and prices.

We do a few iPad and Surface repairs at work.

Apple OEM Parts available here https://www.replacebase.co.uk/
Had some problems with wrong colour parts a couple of times but handled very well and sorted quickly.

£50 to get an OEM screen from the link above and £10 for iPhone tool kit plus your time. I’ve replaced 1 screen which was fine. Second screen was a right pain from the drop it must have bent the frame and was a right pain in the arse.

I know for the extra £90 I’d get Apple to fit it rather than trying again.

£180 gets you an iPhone 7 from music magpie (32gb).

A cracked screen iPhone 6s is selling for at least £80 on eBay (16gb)
