IPhone phones are the best sellers and most sought after. They are reliable devices and, thanks to their components, can last for years. However, like any other smartphone, they can suffer bumps or falls. Official Apple repairs are extremely expensive, so in many cases it is possible that the repair could be more expensive than the phone itself, especially on older models.
If you’re a bit of a DIY enthusiast, we’ll tell you how to save money on repairing your iPhone: with the tutorials you can find online and the cheap spares you can buy on AliExpress, you can do it yourself : Change screen, flex charging, external chassis, speakers, headphones.
Find Cheap, High-Quality iPhone parts on AliExpress
The quality of the spare parts you can find on AliExpress is very good, in fact, most of the repair shops buy their spare parts here. Not only do we find good quality spare parts, as you can see here, you can also find good prices and products with real reviews from other buyers.
It is important to remember that any type of repair that is not performed by Apple technical service could void your warranty. However, changing them yourself can be a good option if you have already exhausted the warranty and do not want to spend the price of the 1st official repair.
Screens for iPhone
The most common repair is that of the screen, which in the event of a fall is the most sensitive part of our smartphone and the replacement is not covered by the warranty. Changing the screen can cost between 150 and over 300 $, depending on the model. Because of this, many people go to unofficial tech services, but we run the risk of poor quality screen being installed.
If you have electronics skills or can do it yourself using tutorials available online, we recommend that you buy the screen from AliExpress and make it yourself. This is how you will know exactly the quality of the screen you are installing.
- Screens for iPhone XS / XS Max
- Screens for iPhone XR
- Screens for iPhone X
- Screens for iPhone 8/8 Plus
- Screens for iPhone 7/7 Plus
- Screens for iPhone 6s / 6s Plus
- Screens for iPhone 6/6 Plus
- Screens for iPhone SE
- Screens for iPhone 5s
- Screens for iPhone 5c
The price depends on the technology of the screen (the latest models have high quality screens) and the quality of the screen. We recommend that you read the screen specifications carefully before purchasing as some offer different qualities of their screens. The bestsellers also explain the tests they run on the screens in their factory to check quality.
Battery Replacement parts for iPhone
Even the famous iPhone phones are not spared one of the most common problems that all phones have over time: the battery is losing capacity and we have to recharge it more often. If you don’t want to wear a power bank on top, you can give your mobile phone a second life by changing the battery. As you can see in this link, it’s easy to find batteries for iPhone, the best sellers are those of the iPhone 6 and earlier.
Motherboards and circuits for iPhone
The motherboard is a fundamental part of every cell phone, but iPhone phones also have a special feature: you cannot change the motherboard without changing the Touch ID (touch button). Both parts are linked and if we don’t change them at the same time, our central button will no longer work. Fortunately, all sellers on AliExpress offer the plate plus Touch ID. You can find them by clicking here, but I recommend reading our iPhone Motherboard Replacement Parts Buying Guide, which explains everything you need to know to get this repair done.
If something very specific goes wrong, you may need to change some flex, the flexible ribbon circuitry that connects the components to the motherboard. If any of these circuits do not work properly, the components to which it is connected (speakers, charging connector, antenna) will fail.
Replacement iPhone cases and Bezels
While on other phones the case is just a decorative element, on the iPhone the case contains most of the buttons on the phone that will work, I recommend that you buy replacement parts for your iPhone’s case or bezel on Aliexpress.
Replacement Camera Modules for the iPhone
If your iPhone’s camera stops working, you can also find very cheap camera modules on AliExpress. It’s not one of the best-selling replacement parts as it doesn’t fail very often, but you can find modules for iPhone 6, 7, 8, and X on Aliexpress website.
