What is the difference in quality between aftermarket and original screens?
In our opinion, the quality of aftermarket screens is acceptable considering their relatively low price. For some models, the price difference is quite significant, so it's worth considering if cost is an important factor for you.
The display, contrast, and sharpness of our aftermarket screens are surprisingly good, and touch responsiveness is of course adequate. However, the following minor issues may occur during use:
- True Tone may not function properly"
- In some cases, the backlight may not be completely uniform (not noticeable for the average user), and the colors may appear more contrasty than on the original screen.
- There may be slight differences in resolution that do not affect usability.
- There might be a slight fitting issue around the screen frame (barely noticeable, and not at all when using a case).
It’s important to note, that there are many aftermarket screens on the market — we only use those that we consider to be of acceptable quality.
The original quality option always includes a genuine Apple display
, so you don’t have to make any compromises in everyday use. We clone the data from your old screen to the new one using a specially designed programming tool — this is the only way to ensure the True Tone feature works on your phone.
Exclusively at our service center, we offer—upon customer request—the option to replace the original display IC. After this process, your phone won’t be able to distinguish the new screen from the original one, so it will never display any warning messages. Without this, the phone may still show a message in the settings stating that a non-genuine display has been installed—even if that’s not actually true.
