iPhone 6: Broken display - you can do that
If the display of your iPhone 6 is broken, you can not avoid a repair. We show you where you can have the screen replaced and how you can repair the display yourself.
iPhone 6: Have the broken display repaired
- According to Apple, the fees for replacing a display amount to 161.10 euros. That is relatively cheap.

iPhone 6: Repair broken display yourself
The iPhone 6 hardly differs in structure from its predecessors. Hand repair is therefore also possible.
- With these instructions from iDoc, you can change the entire display in just a few steps. The required accessories and a new display are also offered on the iDoc website.
- If only the glass is cracked, you do not have to replace the entire display. In this video the exchange of the glass is shown.
- Hobbyists can bring their iPhone back into shape themselves. With two left hands, however, you should not dare to repair it.
- Tip: The Friendsurance mobile phone insurance covers, among other things, display and breakage damage worldwide. Depending on the new price, it can be worth it.
Not just the display broken? Check whether the repair is still worthwhile
If more is broken on your iPhone, a repair at Apple may no longer be worthwhile. However, broken iPhones are also very popular with hobbyists and are therefore very popular with online portals such as eBay or eBay classifieds. With the sales proceeds and a little additional payment, there could even be a new iPhone in it - you can find the best offers on Saturn, for example.
