It’s surprisingly easy to crack an iPhone screen these days. A simple drop can result in a spiderweb of damage, leaving most of us holding our breath in panic. iPhone screens are generally made of glass, which, despite improvements, remains fragile. But aside from making your phone look like it’s been through a warzone, a cracked screen can cause some serious issues beyond aesthetics.
As we’ve seen time and again at Imfixed, continuing to use a damaged screen doesn’t just make your phone harder to use, it can also put your health and data at risk. So, does a cracked screen affect your iPhone? Let’s take a look at the facts and why it’s crucial to get it repaired professionally.
Finger Injuries Are No Joke
We’ve seen it happen too often, someone swiping across their phone only to catch a painful splinter of glass. Cracked screens often lead to sharp edges and loose glass, making every scroll a potential cut hazard. The deeper the crack, the more likely you’ll hurt yourself. That’s not something to ignore.
Your Touchscreen Might Give Up
Over time, cracks in the screen lead to more than just cosmetic damage. The touchscreen functionality can start to deteriorate. You might notice your iPhone isn’t responding properly to taps or gestures. Worse, it might stop working altogether. And as dust, dirt, and oils from your fingers collect in the cracks, the problem only gets worse.
Eye Strain Becomes a Real Issue
One of the joys of an iPhone is its stunning display, bright, clear, and detailed. But cracks interrupt this, distorting the image and making it harder to read or watch videos. You’ll likely find yourself squinting, straining your eyes, and generally getting frustrated trying to view content clearly.
More Exposure, More Radiation
While it’s true that smartphones emit a level of radiofrequency radiation, a cracked screen can make this worse. With the internal components potentially exposed, there’s a risk of increased emissions, not to mention possible electrical faults. While the health impact is still being researched, we believe it’s better to be safe and protect yourself with a screen in perfect working order.
Say Goodbye to Water Resistance
Water resistance is one of the iPhone’s most reassuring features. But once the screen is cracked, that protection disappears. Water and cleaning fluids can easily seep into the device, potentially causing short circuits and permanent internal damage. If your phone’s been cracked and you’ve still been cleaning it the old way, stop. And come see us right away.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Many people delay getting their phone repaired, hoping the damage won’t get worse. But the truth is, it always does. From reduced resale value to malfunctioning sensors, to data loss in severe cases, a cracked screen brings with it a long list of risks. If you’re using your iPhone for work, entertainment, or daily life, the downsides can quickly become overwhelming.
