Cheap iphone screen repair kits

[gmaz]

My son's old iphone 12 has a bad crack on the screen, and I've noticed these kits on amazon at about £20 that seem to be cheap and have reasonable reviews.

Has anyone used one of these?

Seems suspiciously cheap.

But you can replace screens yourself. I did it on a Nokia tablet with a screen I bought off of AliExpress. Not sure about Apple products but I'm certain there will be a YouTube tutorial.

You can use a household iron with a t-shirt over it to melt the glue (when removing the old screen).

If its anything like the one I bought for £20 (For my 12) from Amazon also:

It will be an LCD not OLED
It will have a massive "chin" on the bottom where the bezel is much thicker and look crap

It was generally all round crap, but for £20 and as I needed it same day, I had no choice. I replaced it with a proper OLED one from replacebase within a couple of days. Much, much better, but still not as good as an original screen, and was also double the cost ~£45

Depends if you can live with the drawbacks or not
