IPhone Screen Repair Options & Cost: Is It Worth Fixing. iPhone x display

iPhone Touchscreen Not Working or Responding? Fix it today!

Is your iPhone touchscreen not working, slow to respond, or not responsive in some ways? If so, you are not alone! Some of our readers have reported problems with their iPhone almost immediately after unboxing!

When the iPhone X Series (X, XS, XR) launched, we expected to see a few bugs and quirks that cause issues. However, one problem we didn’t expect to see is issues with being able actually to use the touchscreen.

Follow These Quick Tips To Address iPhone X Series Touchscreen Problems

• Remove Cases and/or screen protectors
• Heat up the iPhone, especially if in cold climates
• Force Restart your device
• Update the iOS to the latest version
• Disable 3D Touch, if possible
• Reinstall iOS using Recovery Mode
• Return the device back to factory settings
• Turn Off Automatic iOS Updates

s:

Users everywhere have reported that the touchscreen on their iPhone X/XS/XR has stopped working, regardless of the situation. The first issue arose after it was discovered that cold temperatures were causing problems with touch input.

Since then, there have been more problems arise with the touchscreen. Luckily, there have seemed to have been a few fixes that you can attempt before throwing your 1,000 iPhone against the wall or out the window.

iPhone Touchscreen Not Working Fixes

Remove Cases with Screen Protectors

It’s often your case with built-in screen protectors or just those anti-glare screen covers that cause problem. Although many think otherwise, screen protectors often interfere with touchscreens–especially if you are reusing an old one or using a screen protector made for a different model or brand phone.

So before any further troubleshooting, remove any case covers the screen. Or if you use a screen cover, remove that. Then restart your phone and check if the screen responds.

Heat Up Your iPhone A Bit

A few readers tell us that heating up their iPhones did the trick to get the screen responsive.

We don’t mean putting on a fire or in the over! Rather, they found wrapping it up in a blanket, towel, or even sitting on it for 5-10 minutes worked. For this to work and generate some moderate heat, the phone must be on.

Give It A Few Taps

Another trick readers use is burping their iPhones! This seems to work for folks whose screen cables are not making good contacts.

It’s best to first cover your iPhone X Series phone in a soft towel or cloth to prevent screen damage. Then, give it a few swift whacks on the backside (not screen side!)

We call this burping your iDevice–a firm smack, done just a few times one after the other. Just like burping a baby–gentle but often effective!

If this trick works for you and your device is under warranty, we suggest contacting Apple Support. And ask for an internal inspection since it’s likely the cable connecting your screen need repaired or replaced.

Perform a Forced Restart

The process to force your iPhone to restart can be a bit frustrating, as you need to perform the steps rather quickly in succession. This is not a factory reset, as you are only forcing your iPhone to simply power down.

• Press the VolumeUp button and release.
• Press the Volume Down button and release.
• Press and hold the Side button for 10-15 seconds until your iPhone reboots.

In the event that you followed the steps above and your iPhone doesn’t reboot, you might want to try pressing the buttons in a faster sequence. The timing is key, as you’ll need to make sure the iPhone recognizes what it is that you’re trying to do.

Some readers tell us they need to force restart multiple times (like 3 times) to get this to work.

Check for a Software Update

To put it plainly, some folks are afraid of software updates. This is especially true for Windows users, as software updates can completely bring your system to a halt. However, there are some software updates that are really quite useful.

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap General.
• Select Software Update.
• Your iPhone will check to see if an update is available.
• If the update is available, tap the Download and Install button.

However, if there is not an update available, you may need to check out the next option on our list.

Use iTunes on a computer to check for software updates if your screen is completely unresponsive

• Use a computer with the latest version of iTunes already installed on it

• It does not need to be your computer

Turn Off Automatic Updates on iPhone

iOS 12 and above feature automatic updating of your device. We suggest you turn this setting OFF. With Automatic Updates, your iOS device updates automatically to the latest version of iOS when connected to a power source and a Wi-Fi connection. The updates usually take place overnight, when you are not using your device.

Quite a few of our readers discovered that after their iPhones updated automatically, their phones became unresponsive to their touch. That’s why we recommend updating manually!

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap General.
• Tap Software Update.
• There should be a button that says Automatic Updates, tap that button.
• Tap the toggle next to Download iOS Updates to the On position.
• Next to Install iOS Updates, tap the toggle to the Off position.

In doing so, this will download the update when you are connected to Wi-Fi, but won’t actually automatically install any pending updates until your iPhone is placed on a charger and is connected to Wi-Fi. In the event that you have toggled both options off, then the updates will only be installed manually by navigating to the Software Update section and following the on-screen steps.

Enable/Disable 3D Touch

If forcing your iPhone X Series to restart doesn’t do the trick, then you may want to try toggling 3D Touch on and off.

This has seemed to work for some folks, and you can do so via the steps below

To be more thorough, you might want to turn off 3D Touch, Force Reset your iPhone, and then see if everything works.

If not, then you’ll want to keep moving down the list.

Try Recovery Mode

An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode shows an iTunes or computer icon on the screen, prompting you to connect it to a computer. When you do so, you can choose to Update or Restore the software on your device.

Either option reinstalls the latest available operating software from Apple, but the Restore button also erases all the content and data from your device. Afterward, you can choose to recover a backup or set it up as new.

If possible, we recommend backing up your iPhone before trying to use Recovery Mode to get things working again.

Recovery Mode on iPhone 8, iPhone X, or later

• Connect your device to a computer using an Apple-certified USB cable.
• Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
• Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
• Press and hold the Side or Top button.
• Your iPhone or iPad will restart, keep holding the Side or Top button until it enters recovery mode. Choose to update or restore your device.

Once your iPhone has entered Recovery Mode, you’ll then be able to connect it to a Mac or Windows computer. This is necessary as the computer is needed to either download the update and transfer it to the iPhone, or install the latest version of iOS that’s currently available.

Restore to Factory Default via iTunes

This next step may be the most frustrating, but it could also be your last hope before making the trek up to your local Apple Store. When all else fails, you should factory reset your iPhone in order to try and work out any bugs.

Backup First

However, before doing that, there are a few steps that you need to take. The first of which is creating an iCloud backup or iTunes backup of your iPhone.

This saves all of your app data, media files, photos, and more so you can restore your iPhone back to normal

• Open Settings
• Tap your Apple ID at the top
• Select your iPhone from the list of devices
• Tap iCloud Backup
• Tap Back Up Now

Turn off Find My iPhone

The next step before completing a factory reset is to turn off ‘Find My iPhone’. We don’t recommend leaving this turned off, but it can help figure out what is causing the problem if your iPhone touchscreen is not working.

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Tap [Your Name] at the top of the screen.
• Select your iPhone from the list of devices.
• Tap Find My iPhone.
• Tap the toggle next to Find My iPhone to the Off position.

If you do not turn find My iPhone off, then you will not be able to reset your phone back to factory settings.

If your iPhone is entirely non-responsive to touch, you can use a different iDevice to remove the one with the touchscreen problems. Or visit your Apple ID or iCloud Account via a web browser and remove the device there.

Wipe Everything Clean

Now that you have a brand new backup and have turned off Find My iPhone, you can now factory reset your iPhone to its original settings. But of course, if your iPhone touchscreen not working, you’ll need to physically connect it to your computer.

Factory Reset iPhone with iTunes on Windows:

• Open the iTunes app on your Windows computer.
• Connect your iPhone using a Lightning cable.
• If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps.
• Select your iPhone in the sidebar when it appears.
• Click Summary.
• In the main window, click the Restore iPhone button.
• Click Restore again to confirm
• iTunes erases your device and installs the latest iOS.
• After your device restores to factory settings, it restarts.
• Set it up as new or connect to your recent backup.

Erase Content and Setting With iOS

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap General.
• Scroll to the bottom and tap Transfer or Reset iPhone (iPad).
• Tap Erase All Content and Settings.
• Enter your passcode if prompted.

It’s important to note that if there is a new software update available, your iPhone will likely download and install it. This is to keep your phone in tip-top shape with the latest version of iOS on board.

Check Out Apple’s Display Module Replacement Program

Occasionally, a problem is so widespread that Apple takes notice and investigates to see if there’s something wrong with the hardware itself. This has happened at various times over the years, most notably with the last-generation MacBook Pro with its butterfly keyboard. It seems that the touchscreen issues on the iPhone X became such a problem that the company announced a “Display Module Replacement Program for Touch Issues.”

According to Apple, “iPhone X displays may experience touch issues due to a component that might fail on the display module.” If you are having issues, you may find that the display does not respond, responds intermittently to touch, or reacts even though it was not touched.

If your iPhone is part of the program, you can have it serviced. However, it will first need to be examined in order to “verify that it is eligible for this program.” In the event that you are having these problems and want to have them remedied, these are the options at your disposal:

Apple also notes that despite the problems, this program will not extend the standard warranty coverage of the iPhone X. Additionally, if you experienced problems and paid to have the touchscreen replaced before this program was announced, you can reach out to Apple in an effort to get a refund. Lastly, the program covers affected iPhone X devices for 3 years after the first retail sale of the unit.

Suspect Hardware Issue? Take it to Apple

The final option, if you continue to have issues with your iPhone touchscreen, is to take it to Apple. Remember that Apple covers your device for one year from the date of purchase and for two years with the additional purchase of Apple Care for iPhone.

Some users discover that they need a screen replacement or that the cable connecting their screen inside their device is loose or not making good and consistent contact.

Regardless of whether you have AppleCare or not, setting up an appointment with your Apple Store’s Genius Bar or chatting with Apple or contacting Apple Support (800-692-7753 or 1-800-MY-Apple) could result in you getting an entirely new iPhone.

Of course, if your iPhone was previously damaged, then you might run into some issues and may end up having to pay some type of deductible. Nonetheless, it’s better than paying another 1,000 for a phone or being stuck with a paperweight.

Let us know if any of these methods worked for you, or if there’s a method that we didn’t make mention of!

Just FYI for you X phone users. From Apple: Apple has determined that some iPhone X displays may experience touch issues due to a component that might fail on the display module. An affected device may exhibit the following: The display, or part of the display, does not respond or responds intermittently to touch The display reacts even though it was not touched Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will replace the display module on eligible devices, free of charge. No other iPhone models are part of this program.

I have an XS that the whole second row of the touch screen from top to bottom is non-functional. I’ve tried a few times with Apple support to see if they would warranty it like the X model. No luck, so I’m out a couple hundred dollars to get mine fixed. Hopefully, there will be enough of the other X models affected that Apple see’s they have a problem with the whole series and ponies up.

hello i have a issue with my iPhone XR. the screen is freezing while using the phone and it works after i lock and unlock it (buy pressing power button). it is a used phone i bought it for second hand, now the question is will i have to replace the screen or do i need to check the cable so that it may work

I have an iPhone X that looks fine but at the top of the screen there’s an area that doesn’t respond to my taps. I can swipe in that area side to side only (vertical swipes don’t respond) and I can hold down but I cannot tap in the area. The area of no response is where the top row of apps are in the home screen.

according to Apple it’s the screen, and it has to be replaced, so I suppose no iTunes or anything can help, I tried everything the restore with iTunes, changing settings, and it’s crazy only the green buttons in the settings are unresponsive, the rest of functions work perfect, why the green buttons can’t respond, I have no idea, I had to push the green button like 10 times for it to respond, also the key in the keyboard that is located to the right next to the border of the phone has the same problem, but if I move my finger up and down, the screen responds and moves up and down in that area, it’s just when I click a green button in “settings” located in that area, that don’t respond, so weird!

Hello everyone. I am using iPhone X for a while. It has been few months that i also face intermittent touch problem. I did not change my screen, however opened my phone and disconnected and connected back everything. Everything looks normal but it won’t work. Did everything available online including factory reset etc. Nothing worked. However, I have figured that whenever my phone touch get unresponsive, I LOCK MY PHONE, PRESS ON UPPER SIDE OF THE SCREEN AND UNLOCK AGAIN. It works. But hard to get used to. Just turned off my screen time in settings from the Комментарии и мнения владельцев above and hope it solve my problem, just another hope from the Комментарии и мнения владельцев above. Hope Apple solve all these problems, it doesn’t suit them. Regards.

I have the XR I have run into this problem randomly the screen touch does not respond I get it to goto power off screen the touch wont work at all, this all after being working completely fine. I will either have to heat it up to get it to shut down on its own or let it run out of power.

I tried EVERYTHING in this article none worked. I believed this is iOS bug. My phone was working fine running iOS 14 – after I updated it to iOS 14.2 that’s when the screen issues started. Now I am hoping when Apple rolls out next update will fix the issue. Currently the iPhone XS is just a paper weight. Using my iPhone 7 right now.

Hey I have the exact same problem and have tried literally anything I can find to fix it. Have you found a fix yet? I also waited but ios14.3 has not done it

I had my touchscreen blocked, and when I tried to enter the pin cod,it was writing different numbers,and I couldn’t close by sliding to the right ,it was completely blocked. I tried several times using the volume buttons ,didn’t work. Finally,I installed iTunes on my laptop,and I don’t know what I did next,but it seems it worked. So thank you for the advice.Since we are blocked at home,I didn’t know what else to do…

SUPER helpful article. My screen was going haywire – randomly clicking all over the place. After it made a couple of emergency calls of its own accord, I found this article. Leaving the phone out in the sun and smacking it a couple of times got it to the point where I could actually enter my passcode, disable Find my iPhone, and trust my computer. Ultimately, the Restore to Factory Default via iTunes option is what fixed my screen problem. I plugged it in, backed it up, restored it using iTunes, and set it up from the backup. Now, the issue is completely gone. Thanks so much for the great article and help!

I’ve had the same problem twice now. Randomly the screen becomes unresponsive. Moments before was working fine. Both times, I resolved with force restarting phone exactly three times. Not sure why this is but work fine again.

Hi Paul. Have you tried to restart or force restart your iPhone XS? First, try restarting: On an iPad with no Home Button and iPhones X or later: press and hold the Side/Top/Power button and either volume button until the slider appears. Drag the slider to turn the device off and after the device turns off, press and hold that Side/Top/Power button again until you see the Apple Logo Or a forced restart: On an iPad with no Home Button and iPhones 8 or later: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Then press and hold the Side/Top/Power button until the device restarts and you see the Apple Logo on-screen, then release. If you cannot get your device to restart via either method, connect your iPhone XS Max to iTunes and see if it recognizes the device.

Hi Teresa, Check if you have any restrictions on. Go to Settings Screen Time and turn it off. See if that makes a difference. Liz

I have an iPhone X, the screen became unresponsive. I tried to restart the phone, nope. I plugged it into the computer and did the recent update with iTunes, nope. I then did the factory reset with iTunes and still after it loaded the screen is still unresponsive to any touch. The phone is now stuck on the hello screen to set up the iPhone. Any ideas? Thank you.

I was trying to add my Apple account but everytime i do that my phone says “unfortunately, settings has stopped”

Unfortunately, only the first and last steps in this article are of any use if your new iPhone XS Max screen is unresponsive, as mine is. The “force reset” and “take it to Apple” steps are what I am referring to. All of your other steps require using the touch screen! I thought I could plug into iTunes and do a backup/restore or factory reset, but alas, the new security protocols in iOS 11/12 require the user to unlock the phone even before the USB connection is allowed to operate. Impossible without touch. Has anyone else figured out a real fix or workaround for the iTunes lockout issue? How would even Apple itself access the phone by wire? This is certainly frustrating seeing as my new phone was pristine at less than 24 hrs out of the box and already contains birthday party pix and vids! argh

you dont necesserilly need unlocked phone do everything as for the force restart just dont let go of your right button then you’ll be able to get in some sort of safe mode/recovery srry for my english

Have a broken iPhone screen? Here are three iPhone screen repair options and how much each costs, plus a breakdown of whether you should fix it or sell it.

NOTE: If your iPhone is still under warranty, check with Apple to see if you can get your screen fixed for free. Here’s Apple’s warranty coverage checker.

iPhone screen repair costs compared

Here’s what you can generally expect to pay for iPhone screen replacement.

iPhone Screen Repair Option	Estimated Price Range
DIY Repair	45 – 280
Professional Repair Service	119 – 520
Phone Insurance Claim	29 – 149

Option 1: DIY iPhone screen replacement – 45 to 280

You can replace your own iPhone screen with a little tech savvy and a bit of patience. The repair requires disassembly, however, so you shouldn’t attempt this fix if you’re not comfortable doing that.

Is it just a scratch? Here are 7 ways to fix a scratched phone screen

Your best bet is to buy a complete screen assembly, which is a much easier repair than replacing just the front glass or digitizer. Expect to pay between 45 and 280 for a new iPhone screen, depending on your model, where you buy parts and whether you buy a standard LCD or premium OLED screen. Toolkits start at 5 if you don’t already have the necessary tools.

Note that parts suppliers typically sell aftermarket iPhone parts, not OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts.

Here are some example iPhone replacement screen prices.

Model	iFixit	Repairs Universe	FixEZ
iPhone 12	OLED: 280	LCD: 155 OLED: 270	LCD: 154
iPhone 11	LCD: 120	LCD: 57	LCD: 57
iPhone X	LCD: 85 OLED (used): 150	LCD: 45 OLED: 56	LCD: 45 OLED: 105

How to replace a cracked iPhone screen

Rather buy a new iPhone? Save with these iPhone deals

The process differs slightly by model, but generally involves these steps:

• Use a hair dryer, heat gun or iOpener tool to heat the front glass and soften the underlying adhesive
• Use a spudger or guitar picks to pry around the seam and gently lift the front glass (suction cups can help)
• Disconnect the screen from internal components
• Install the new screen, then reassemble your iPhone

You can find detailed step-by-step instructions on sites like iFixit and YouTube. Here are some example videos for the iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and iPhone X.

Option 2: Professional iPhone screen repair service – 119 to 520

Don’t want to fix your own iPhone screen? You can opt for professional repair instead. Local repair shops can often replace your screen in a few hours, either in-store or at your location. Online mail-in repair services take longer, but they’re good options if you don’t have a local repair store.

Expect to pay between 119 and 520 for professional iPhone screen replacement, depending on your model and repair shop. Note that Apple’s own repair service tops out at 329 for out-of-warranty screen repair. Apple also uses OEM (original equipment manufacturer parts), while many repair shops use less expensive aftermarket parts.

Mail-in repair services like iFixYouri and My Broken Phone typically charge between 100 and 200, but they don’t always list pricing for every repair on their websites. Sometimes, it’s because they haven’t updated their service offering lately, especially if newer devices aren’t listed. Other times, they can make the repair, but it’s too uncommon to stock parts.

In some cases, the repair is difficult and likely to damage the device, so it’s not profitable for the company to offer it. Or, the required parts are so expensive it’s not worth fixing. Either way, if the repair you need isn’t listed on a repair shop’s website, it’s a good idea to contact them anyway to see if they offer it.

Here are some example prices:

Model	Apple (out of warranty)	iFixYouri	My Broken Phone
iPhone 12	279	520	n/a
iPhone 11	199	199	119
iPhone X	279	199	119

It’s a good idea to ask about warranties on parts and labor before you choose a repair company. You should also inquire about your service tech’s experience, credentials and quality of parts.

Option 3: File an insurance claim – 29 to 149

Do you have iPhone insurance? If so, you can file a claim directly with your insurance company, who might offer a choice between mail-in, in-store or on-location repair services. Some companies will overnight a refurbished replacement iPhone rather than repair and return yours.

Expect to pay a deductible ranging between 29 and 149, depending on your model and insurance company. Here are some example iPhone screen repair deductibles.

Insurer	iPhone Screen Replacement Deductible
AppleCare	29
SquareTrade	149
ATT	29 – 49
Verizon	29

Is it worth fixing your iPhone screen?

Should you fix your iPhone screen or sell it broken? You can base your decision on how much your iPhone is worth broken versus repaired, especially if you plan to upgrade soon.

Begin by calculating the net value of your iPhone after screen repair (you can look up your iPhone’s current value on Flipsy).

For example, at the time of this writing, an iPhone X 64GB on the Verizon network was worth 255 in good condition. Here’s a breakdown of its net value after different repair options.

iPhone X Value – Cost of Repair = Net Value After Repair

Repair Method	Value (good condition)	– Repair/Deductible Cost	= Net Value After Repair
DIY	255	45 (LCD)	210
AppleCare	255	29	226
SquareTrade Insurance	255	149	106
Verizon Insurance	255	29	226
Independent Repair Shop	255	119	136
Apple Repair (out of warranty)	255	279	-24

Did You Know? It’s Smart to buy a new iPhone every year. Here’s why

Next, compare the net value after repair to what your iPhone is worth in broken condition. At the time of this writing, a broken iPhone X 64GB on the Verizon network was worth 110.

iPhone X Net Value After Repair VS Broken Value

Repair Method	Net Value After Repair	Value Broken
DIY	210	110
AppleCare	226	110
SquareTrade Insurance	106	110
Verizon Insurance	226	110
Independent Repair Shop	136	110
Apple Repair (out of warranty)	-24	110

As the table shows, our example iPhone will have significantly more value if you repair it yourself or file an insurance claim through AppleCare or Verizon.

However, SquareTrade insurance leaves a net value of 4 less than the phone is worth broken, while out-of-warranty Apple repair leaves a net value of 134 less, which means you’d lose money by going with those repair options.

The independent repair shop option leaves a net value of just 26 more than selling it broken, which might make you question whether repair is worth the hassle.

Here are some more iPhone screen “sell or fix” breakdowns:

Of course, your decision depends not only on the value, but also how long you plan to keep your iPhone. If you intend to hold on to it for a few years, it’s cheaper to repair it than to buy a new iPhone.

If you plan to upgrade soon and trade in your old phone, however, it’s worth comparing your options to see whether you’ll get more value after repair or selling it as-is.

iPhone X review

The iPhone X was a huge gamble from Apple, yet one that really paid off six months into our testing. Losing the home button and altering the design was a dangerous move, but one that was sorely needed after years of similarity and the premium design, extra power, all-screen front mix together to create. by far. the best iPhone Apple’s ever made. It’s impossible to give a perfect score to something that costs this much. but this is the closest to smartphone perfection Apple has ever got.

Cons

Why you can trust TechRadar

We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.

The iPhone X is the huge leap forward that Apple’s handsets needed after ten years, and it’s even better in 2022 thanks to its iOS 16 upgrade and continually-added new features. Aside from the original iPhone in 2007, the iPhone X had the biggest impact on Apple’s smartphone direction ever – and even its newest successors haven’t changed much of its design innovations.

Apple itself is calling it the future of the smartphone, the embodiment of what it’s been trying to achieve for a decade. But while the iPhone X is all about premium parts and an all-new experience, it was a huge gamble for the Cupertino brand too – which paid off, as every new iPhone since then had largely kept the design, until the iPhone 14 Pro did away with the notch. but even then, Face ID remains and the standard iPhone 14 still has a notch.

Losing known, reliable elements like the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, the home button; introducing new methods of navigating and unlocking the phone – and charging a lot more for the privilege – seems risky for a company that was already treading new ground by doing away with the traditional headphone jack.

But the iPhone X was the handset we’d been demanding from Apple for years – a world away from the increasingly-tired designs leading up to the iPhone 8 that have continued to live in the nearly identical-looking iPhone SE (2022).

Watch our review of the iPhone X’s design below.

The fervor around this phone tells that story – everyone wants to know if the iPhone X is worth having, partly because it actually represents a new iPhone, and that fervor is such that they don’t seem to care about the cost. Thankfully, that cost has come down over the years, and it’s still a powerful phone.

So… is the iPhone X worth having? Did it change the direction of an industry where many of the specs Apple has put in – fast charging, wireless charging, bezel-less displays and face recognition – are already on the market?

We’ve had the iPhone X in our grasp for years now, and while it’s no longer one of the best smartphones around, it’s still an excellent handset. especially considering its age.

Weight: 174g Dimensions: 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7 mm OS: iOS 14 Screen size: 5.8-inch Screen Resolution: 1125×2436 CPU: A11 Bionic RAM: 3GB Storage: 64GB / 256GB Battery: 2,716mAh Rear camera: 12MP12MP (both OIS) Front camera: 7MP

If you’re loving your iPhones X, or considering buying one, the package is a lot more tempting now that iOS 16 is out. Apple’s latest operating system brings many upgrades, like a customizable lock screen, improvements to Focus mode, and tweaks and changes to numerous other apps and features.

iPhone X price and release date

It’s almost pointless to discuss the iPhone X price – it launched as the most expensive flagship phone on the market, but iPhone users are more willing than most to look past cost.

But, while the FOCUS here is going to be on the technology, we still need to at least mention the price and release date. It’s out now, having launched worldwide on November 3 2017. The price. at least at launch. was harder to swallow.

At launch, the iPhone X cost 999 / £999 / AU1,579 for the basic, 64GB model. If you wanted the larger 256GB model it cost 1,149 / £1,149 / AU1,829.

Since then of course numerous newer models have landed, and Apple has discontinued the iPhone X. You can still find it at third-party retailers, but usually only refurbished models. The here vary but this has dropped from a high-end price to more of a lower mid-range one now.

Screen

The first thing you’ll notice about the new iPhone is hard to miss: the new screen blazes into your eyes the second you pick up the handset.

The 5.8-inch OLED display is, quite simply, the best thing Apple has ever crammed into an iPhone, or it was, until the iPhone XS arrived. It’s leaps ahead of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus for so many reasons: the sharpness, the quality, the fact that it fills the whole front of the phone, and the color reproduction.

It’s also using a new, longer, screen, but while it looks larger than the iPhone 8 Plus’ 5.5-inch display on paper, it’s only marginally bigger in terms of actual screen real estate – it’s just stretched upwards, so it’s taller, not wider.

OLED technology means you’re getting deeper blacks and more blinding whites, so everything from websites to the photos you take in will look a little better.

Some will point to the fact that Samsung has been using OLED screens on its phones since the first Galaxy, but Apple counters that by saying it’s only now that the technology is good enough for its phones.

On the face of it that sounds defensive, but when you use the iPhone X you can see it’s a screen that’s incredibly, well, Apple.

It’s not the sharpest or most colorful screen on a smartphone, but it’s clean, crisp and doesn’t suffer from terrible color shifts when you move it around. It’s a great display to look at from all angles, and that’s what you want on a mobile device.

It’s also been dubbed the best in the world, by the esteemed DisplayMate testing, showing that it’s the brightest and more color-accurate OLED on the market and good off-centre brightness shifts. showing Apple can tune the tech from Samsung really well.

The term ‘bezel-less’ has been bandied about for the iPhone X, but that doesn’t really tell the right story. Yes, there are slight bands around the edges of the screen as this isn’t a curved screen iPhone, but they don’t mar the experience – they give the fingers something to land on, preventing accidental touches of the screen.

Apple could reduce these further in the future and offer a more visually-appealing iPhone, but on the X the experience is still striking.

Talking of visual appeal, the notch at the top of the iPhone X is something that’s been divisive, and that’s fair. Apple has taken this little chunk out of the top of the screen to house the new TrueDepth camera, and it encroaches on the display. A lot newer Android phones, including the OnePlus 6, copy this style, though even newer phones such as the OnePlus 6T are offering much smaller notches.

In portrait mode it’s hard to notice it’s there, and the way the notifications bar spills around it is nice.

However, place the phone in landscape mode and it’s far more noticeable; it’s an irritant when you’re watching movies, as when we wanted to expand them to fill the screen (one of the real beauties of having a longer display) elements of the action were cut out by the notch.

The longer screen is also thinner though. this means there’s less real estate for typing. We didn’t notice this at the start, but when flipping between the X and an older iPhone, you’ll really see there’s less space for your digits to tap onto.

While we’re talking about that longer screen, the 18:9 format is something we’ve seen on a number of other phones this year, and in the Android world the apps are largely encoded to fill the display just fine.

On the iPhone X, however, that’s not the case, with many apps we used packing massive black bars above and below the display. That’s quickly started to improve though, and each day more apps update for the longer screen.

The issue with apps using the black bars is that it makes the iPhone X look like any other handset from Apple. even an iPhone 3GS – and given the screen is the main visual differentiator on this phone, and you want every app to fill the display nicely. There are now very few apps left that have these bars above and below, with most expanding the screen to fill the whole front of the phone and curve around the notch.

The new display on the iPhone X also showcases a new feature for Apple: HDR playback. The phone can show movies encoded in the HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats, and combined with the OLED display the images offer so much more depth and realistic color reproduction.

If you’re watching a scene with explosions in it, the effect is incredible on the iPhone X – much like with all OLED screens.

However, it’s inherently harder to make out detail in darker scenes in HDR movies – that’s something you’ll need to adjust to.

Compared to the LCD screen of the iPhone 8 Plus, there are times when you can see less of the action, but compare them side by side and you’ll see that the overall richness, depth and quality for watching movies is just higher on the iPhone X.

Like the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, the X uses a True Tone display, which mimics the lighting conditions around it and will adjust the white balance accordingly. It’s not a reason to buy the phone on its own, but it’s a really premium little extra that you’ll grow to like.
