If you cracked an iPhone 14 screen in London, you have three real options: Apple Store, a local repair shop, or DIY. Apple charge £329 inc. VAT for an iPhone 14 screen (April 2026 list price). Most reputable South-London independents charge £119–£149.

Why the price gap?

Apple use genuine Apple panels. Local shops use OEM-grade panels — made by the same factories that supply Apple, sold without the Apple branding. For 95% of customers the difference is invisible: same brightness, same touch response, same True Tone if calibrated right.

What you should actually check before paying

Is the panel labelled OEM-grade or "premium aftermarket"? The £45 "screens" online are not the same product.
What warranty is included? 90 days is standard. Anyone offering less is cutting corners.
Will True Tone work after? A proper shop calibrates the panel so True Tone is preserved. Some don't bother.
Is the chassis re-sealed? iPhone 14 is rated IP68. Open it without re-sealing and you've lost that.

What we charge

IS Repair: £129 for iPhone 14 / 14 Plus, £149 for 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max. Fitted in 45 minutes. 90-day warranty. True Tone preserved.

Apple Store: £329. Genuine panel. 1-year warranty. Walk-in slot may be 1–2 days out.

If your phone is on AppleCare+, Apple drops to £25. If it isn't, the £200 saving is real.

One thing to avoid

Stay away from anyone advertising iPhone 14 screens under £80. The supply chain doesn't allow it — they're either using counterfeit panels (no True Tone, ghost-touch in a few weeks) or skipping the seal. We've seen the result.
