You definitely got charged way too much. The costs for the screen are about $45-$80 depending on the quality grade. $120 additionally for an 0,5 to 1 hour of work is insane. Here, In the Netherlands repairing an XR screen may cost $85-$110.

[@andrewstevens5145]

Thank you so much!!! Following this video allowed me to replace the screen on my XR with minimal frustration. These step by step instructions are perfect! Hardest part was getting the little screws back in even though my tools were magnetic. I ordered one of the screens you recommended from Amazon, although I should have ordered an isesame tool or whatever you use to pry open the screen from the shell. The screen I ordered came with all the other tools I needed except it only had a little plastic guitar pick for prying up the screen, which just couldn't do the job. I ended up using a mini flathead screwdriver to get it open, which ended up leaving a little spot of damage on the shell where I first popped open the screen, however it's barely noticeable and is covered by my normal phone case. I'll take that little hidden spot of scratched aluminum over the huge crack I had going through my old screen!

[@UbergeeksBiz]

You are welcome. Glad the video helped.

[@aidaford5094]

Hey! Cracked my iPhone XR screen yesterday. Considering changing on my own. Did your Face ID still work after replacing at home?

[@andrewstevens5145]

@@aidaford5094 Yes I transferred the front facing camera to the new screen when I did the replacement and the Face ID and selfie mode still works as good as new after about 2 months, have never had an issue with that or any of the touch capabilities of the screen. The transfer of the camera from the old screen to the new one was a little nerve racking as I was worried about breaking something, but I just took it slow and watched that part of the video several times and actually watched one or two other videos on KZbin of people doing it, so I had multiple perspectives and angles to watch and it worked out fine. The only odd thing about the screen I've noticed is that when unlocking and sliding the lock screen up, sometimes the lock screen goes up part way and then pauses or freezes for half a second before continuing up the rest of the way, don't think I ever noticed that with the original screen, but it doesn't really interfere or cause problems so it doesn't bother me. Also the battery drains a little faster than it used to, it's not terrible and I'm not even sure if it's from the new screen or just because the phone's a few years old now.

[@aidaford5094]

@@andrewstevens5145 thanks so much for your response, I’m definitely more confident about changing it on my own now!

[@guccisocks2897]

which screen did u buy?

[@Zakumei]

You missed a very important step. You can get replacement seals for the chassis of the phone and that will help it retain its water resistance. you should thuroughly scrape off and clean the old gasket with alcohol and a plastic scraper and reapply a new one. this way you keep your OEM features

[@UbergeeksBiz]

Good point.
