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 →
  • An LCD assembly is the cheaper of the two to replace, which usually makes repair worthwhile on a phone where an OLED swap would not be.

    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.
