Questions

Frequently asked questions about phone screens

How long can I use a phone with a cracked screen?

A few days, as long as the image and touch are normal. There is no safe time limit, because the crack grows with use.

Is a parallel screen (not the original) bad?

Not always. Some are good and give an image and touch close to the original.

Does replacing the iPhone screen stop Face ID from working?

It should not. Face ID uses sensors at the top of the device that are not part of the screen.

Does the green line go away on its own?

Usually not. It may disappear for a few minutes after a restart, but it comes back and tends to get bigger over time.

Want to replace your phone screen?
