In 2017, Apple introduced its iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models. Among other things, these phones also brought a novelty in the form of very practical wireless charging. But in order to do so, the metal on the back had to be replaced by glass. The glass back cover has since been a common feature of all the following models:
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone X
- iPhone Xs
- iPhone Xs Max
- iPhone Xr
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE 2
The innovative look and convenient charging have pleased a really large number of Apple customers. However, the new rear cover was much more prone to breakage, and many customers were no longer pleased with the manufacturer's solution in the event of the broken rear glass.
How to avoid high costs?
In the case of the broken rear glass, Apple offers only the so-called "Swap" option. This means that the damaged device will be replaced with a new one, but it is necessary to pay a considerable amount. For example, for the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, this amount exceeds the € 700 limit. Considering that the problem is often only visual, this amount is too high.
Fortunately, there is another, much more affordable option. The customer can have the cracked rear glass replaced by us at FixServis.
