What this means for a repair
A flat front takes an ordinary 2.5D protector, which is the cheapest and most forgiving case — edge-to-edge coverage is a cosmetic choice here, not a fitment requirement.
Applying without bubbles →Notch width varies between generations that otherwise share a screen size, which is one of the most common sources of a returned protector.
Why screen size is not enough →An OLED panel means the glass and the display are usually laminated as one assembly, so a cracked front is a full-assembly job rather than a glass swap. Price the repair accordingly before you quote.
Glass, digitizer or display? →With no headphone jack, audio runs over the charging port. A worn port can present as an audio fault, so test both before replacing the flex.
Lightning ports are soldered to the logic board on most models rather than sitting on a replaceable flex, which makes port repair a board-level job.
The water-resistance rating does not survive being opened. Replace the adhesive gasket on reassembly, and tell the customer the rating is gone either way — in writing, before you start.
