If you’re handy when it comes to electronics repair, you can replace the display yourself by buying an iCracked repair kit for as little as $50⁴. It’ll cost you about $129 to replace the display of an iPhone 6 if you take it to an Apple Store, according to Consumer Reports³. That’s because a shattered display is harder to swap out than a cracked unit that can be removed in one piece. When a crack in your phone’s display does appear, it’s in your best interest to replace the glass as quickly as possible. Ultimately, cracked glass displays can’t be patched up by using stop-gap fixes and must be completely replaced. Oddly enough, many smartphone displays can withstand drops of over 50 feet but crack irreparably after falling off of a table top. Due to the unique molecular structure of glass, LiveScience² reports, even the most durable and “shatter resistant” Gorilla Glass displays have a finite lifespan once a chip occurs. Once a glass phone screen suffers a crack, it’s inevitable that the problem will spread until you’re looking at a full-blown spiderweb.
