iPhone Glass Repair in Düsseldorf

On an iPhone, it depends on which side is broken. At the front, the glass is firmly attached to the screen; at the back, it is a separate part. That is the whole difference between a small bill and a big one.

What is different about the iPhone

The front glass cannot be replaced on its own

On every iPhone from the 6 onwards, the glass, touch layer and panel are bonded into one unit. Anyone offering you a glass-only replacement at the front is splitting this unit apart. That can be done, but it rarely lasts long and often ends up costing more than a proper screen replacement. That is why we do not do it.

The back is a separate repair

The back has nothing to do with the screen. It is glued on and loosened with heat. So a broken back does not mean you need a new screen, which is the most common misconception people come to us with.

At the back, the generation decides

On the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and in the 15 and 16 series, the back is removable. On the iPhone 8 to 13 and on the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, the glass is fixed in the housing. What that means for your model is explained on our iPhone back glass repair page.

Wireless charging is checked too

Under the back glass sits the coil for wireless charging and, on newer models, the MagSafe ring. After the replacement, we check both before the phone leaves our hands.

From the shop

What people bring in

The case most people come in with: the iPhone fell on its back, the back glass is cracked, the front is fine. The fear is almost always that the whole phone is now done for. It is not; the back is a single part and is also replaced on its own.

Just as often, it is the other way round: there is only a fine crack at the front, and the hope is for a cheap glass replacement. There we have to be honest: at the front, the glass is part of the screen, and the repair is called a screen replacement. We have a separate page for that.

A broken back is not just cosmetic. Splinters come loose, you can cut yourself pulling the phone out of your pocket, and moisture gets through the gap to the charging coil. If you wait half a year, you often end up with two repairs instead of one.

Tell us by phone or in your request which side was hit and which model you have. Then the part will be ready when you arrive.

Frequently asked questions

Questions and answers: iPhone Glass Repair

The back of my phone is broken. Do I need a new screen now?

No. The back is a separate part and has nothing to do with the screen. It is replaced on its own and costs correspondingly less than a screen replacement. This is the most common misunderstanding people come to us with.

Can you replace just the front glass if the picture still works?

On almost all current devices, no. At the front, the glass, the touch layer and the screen are bonded into one unit, which is why the repair is called a screen replacement. On some older devices and many iPads the layers are separate, and there we really do replace only the glass, which is much cheaper.

How much does a glass repair cost?

That depends on which of the three glass surfaces is affected: the front, the back or the glass over the camera. Camera lens glass is the smallest repair, the back is somewhere in between, and at the front it's a screen replacement. We look at your device for free and give you a quote. Then you can decide in your own time whether you want us to repair it.

My photos have suddenly gone hazy. Could the glass be the cause?

Very likely, yes. There is a separate glass surface over the lenses, and fine cracks in it are hard to see. When shooting against the light, the light refracts in the cracks and the picture turns hazy or gets a veil. In most cases this glass can be replaced without removing the camera itself.

Is a broken back a problem if everything else works?

You can keep using the device, but it rarely stays that way. Splinters come loose and can cut you, and moisture gets through the gap to the charging coil underneath. If you wait a long time, you often end up with two repairs instead of one.

Will wireless charging still work after the back glass is replaced?

Yes. The wireless charging coil and, on newer iPhones, the MagSafe ring sit underneath the glass and stay in the device. We test both after the installation, before the device leaves our hands.
