Screen replacement

iPhone XS & XS Max screen replacement in Cincinnati

Cracked iPhone XS & XS Max screen? We fit it the same day, from $79, at our shop in Kenwood - and you pick which panel goes in.

Aftermarket OLED is what we fit unless you ask otherwise - it matches the original closely for a fraction of the genuine part. LCD is the budget option and a real step down on these models. We keep both aftermarket panels in stock so those are same-day; genuine Apple panels are ordered in and take about two days.

Is it worth fixing?

Your call. The screen costs about 88% of what the phone is worth working, which is the awkward middle. If the phone is otherwise healthy and you like it, fix it. If the battery is also tired, put the money toward the next one instead - we will tell you honestly which it is when we test it.

Figures are for an unlocked 256GB in good order apart from the screen. "Worth working" is what we would pay you for it; a shop selling you one charges more than that. Bring it in and we will confirm both numbers in minutes.

Older glass, and why the crack spreads

The iPhone XS predates Ceramic Shield, so its front glass is the older formulation. Cracks on these tend to spread across the panel over weeks rather than staying put, and once they reach the digitiser you start losing touch response in patches. If you are going to fix it, earlier is cheaper than later.

Other repairs, priced

Not just screens. These are the prices every other shop near Kenwood makes you ring up for, and every one of them is same-day.

Water damage stays quoted in person - the honest price depends entirely on what the water reached, and anyone quoting it sight-unseen is guessing.

Or replace it instead

If the repair is not worth it, we usually have refurbished ones on the shelf - iPhone XS from $199 (1 in stock); iPhone XS Max from $219 (2 in stock). Every one is tested, graded, and carries the same 90-day warranty. See what is in stock today.

Same day, or ordered in?

We keep both aftermarket panels on the shelf, so those are same-day repairs and usually done while you wait. Genuine Apple panels take about two days - we order them in rather than stocking them. So if that is the one you want, call 513-745-0059 first and we will have it waiting, rather than you driving over with a cracked phone and leaving with the same cracked phone.

What we write on the receipt

Whichever panel you pick, we put it in writing. If a shop quotes you one price without saying which part they are fitting, it is usually the cheapest aftermarket LCD - worth asking before you hand the phone over.

Common questions

How long does a iPhone XS & XS Max screen replacement take?

Most are done the same day, and common models are often finished while you wait. Call 513-745-0059 before you come in and we will tell you whether the panel is on the shelf.

Is it worth repairing a iPhone XS Max, or should I sell it?

A working iPhone XS Max is worth about $90 and the cheapest screen we fit is $85 - roughly 94% of its value. That is a marginal call and depends on the rest of the phone. If you would rather not fix it, we buy cracked ones for around $45.

Do you use genuine Apple parts?

We offer both. You choose - aftermarket LCD, aftermarket OLED, or a genuine Apple panel - and we tell you exactly which one is going in. We never fit an aftermarket part and describe it as original.

Is the repair guaranteed?

Yes. Every repair carries a 90-day warranty, and every phone we open gets a water-resistant reseal before it goes back together.

Will replacing the screen break Face ID?

No. Face ID lives in the sensor array, not the panel, and we transfer it across. A shop that returns your phone with Face ID dead has skipped that step.

Do I need an appointment?

No, walk in. If you would rather have a slot held for you, book on the site or call 513-745-0059.
