When should you get your screen fixed?
Whether it is an iPhone, or any other phone, getting your screen fixed should be done sooner rather than later. As soon as you notice one of these signs, you should schedule your phone for a screen repair. Here are some of the signs…- Cracks on the screen.
- Dead pixels.
- Touchscreen not working.
- Discolouration of the screen.
Not addressing any of these issues can lead the phone to get worse over time.
Does screen burn mean the screen needs replacing?
Some screens can experience scream burn as time goes on. Screen burn is when an image is left on a screen for so long, that it leaves a faint mark permanently of what was on the screen.
Although screen burn can be an annoyance, and a distraction, it isn’t an issue that can damage the phone's functionality, only how it looks. Though it doesn’t have to be replaced, replacement is the only way to deal with the issue, as it can not be reversed.
Does full brightness ruin a phone screen?
Using a phone on full brightness can lead to screen burn, aside from that, you will find that full brightness also drains the phone’s battery.
The iPhone XS
The iPhone XS, is part of the iPhone range released in 2018, along with the iPhone XS Max, and XR. Although they are 6 years old at the time of writing, this range is more than effective and useable presently, as long as they are well maintained. You can click here for the full specifications of the iPhone XS.
IOS or Android, which is better?
The answer could be either, depending on whom you ask. Apple exclusively has its own OS (Operating system) in its iPad, iPhone, MacBook & Apple Mac products. The operating system for Apple (IOS) is known for efficiency and simplicity to navigate.
Devices such as Samsung smartphones use an operating system known as Android. Android operating systems are known to be more customisable for those looking for it, but still easy enough for anybody to navigate. The capabilities of each system are dependent on the device operating it. Understandably, the better the performance specifications of the phone, the easier it can handle the operating system and its features.
How much does it cost to fix a iPhone XS screen?
To repair an iPhone XS max screen through imFixed, it will cost £65. This is a total screen replacement, meaning you can rest assured that your screen is literally as good as new.

How much do Apple charge for repairs?
Apple only provides an estimate of how much your repair will cost. This pricing can easily rise once Apple repair services have made an assessment on your phone, which is likely to be more, especially if it is a newer iPhone that needs a total replacement.
Apple Warranties
In the case of Apple, you have a standard manufacturer warranty, however, the likelihood is that accidental damage isn’t covered under your warranty. (Check this before making any choices repair-wise). That being said, you can still go to Apple to get repairs outside the warranty. However, you will be paying for this service.
Apple extended warranty
Apple does have an additional support plan for your Apple devices, called AppleCare+ which greatly subsidises the cost of phone repairs and gives you access to more support services. Services include 24-hour priority calling, however, you still have to pay a monthly fee of £9.99, this might not be worth it for some, along with a cheaper price to repair the fault at hand
Is it better to upgrade from an iPhone XS?
If you want a phone with a more up-to-date specification, it would be worth considering a more recent phone, as a iPhone XS is 6 years old. A 6-year-old phone isn’t exactly unusable, but in comparison to modern counterparts, you may find its performance is not as sharp. Additionally, newer features, improved screen quality, and quality of life changes will be apparent when upgrading from a smartphone released 6 years ago. Even upgrading to a phone that is 2 or 3 years old, you will notice a significant improvement.
Understandably, the price point of modern smartphones, even some older models, presents a problem, especially considering the current cost of living crisis. In instances like this, second hand phones seem like the appropriate answer. The issue with this, is that second hand phones may not be of a factory shipped standard, meaning you can find dents, cracks, performance issues etc. The way to work around this, is to consider buying a refurbished phone.
When should I get a refurbished phone?
We would recommend getting a phone repair if it is fairly new and/or has precious memories you would like to try to recover before looking towards getting a replacement. If this is not possible, you should consider purchasing a refurbished phone. But what is a refurbished phone? Most second-hand phones have been repaired aesthetically but not necessarily functionally, so even though there may not be scratches on the back or cracks on the screen, you don’t know that the phone is working well.
On the contrary, refurbished phones have been repaired by professionals, meaning the inner workings of the phone have been repaired as well as the outside. That makes refurbished phones slightly more expensive than used or second-hand phones, but it’s worth it to know that the phone is working well and won’t need any urgent repairs, or professional phone unlocking
