Why iPhone 11 Screen Repair Makes Sense
The iPhone 11 is the sweet spot: still powerful enough for everything, cheap enough to repair sensibly. Here's the maths:
The iPhone 11 launched in September 2019 and quickly became Apple's best-selling iPhone. Five years on, it's still everywhere — and for good reason. The A13 Bionic chip handles everything smoothly, the dual cameras take great photos, and iOS updates keep coming.
We've repaired hundreds of iPhone 11 screens. It's one of our most common repairs precisely because the phone is so popular and so worth keeping. At £99, you're paying less than what most people spend on a night out — for a phone that'll easily last another 2-3 years.
Pro Tip
Pro tip: If your iPhone 11 battery health is below 80%, consider getting a battery replacement at the same time (£89). We can do both in about 40 minutes, and you'll walk out with a phone that feels brand new.

LCD vs OLED: Which Should You Choose?
The original iPhone 11 came with an LCD screen (the Pro models got OLED). Here's the honest difference:
| Feature | LCD (£99) | OLED (£149) |
|---|---|---|
| Black levels | Dark grey (backlight always on) | True black (pixels off) ✨ |
| Contrast | 1400:1 | 1,000,000:1 ✨ |
| Colours | Excellent | Excellent |
| Brightness | 625 nits | 800+ nits ✨ |
| Battery impact | Normal | Slightly better (dark mode) |
| Best for | Budget-conscious, matching original | Movie watchers, dark mode users |
Pro Tip
Our honest advice: If you use dark mode a lot or watch movies/YouTube on your phone, the OLED upgrade is worth £50. If you mainly use your phone for calls, messages, and social media, the LCD is perfectly good — it's what Apple originally put in the phone.
Common iPhone 11 Screen Problems We Fix
Cracked Glass
The most common issue. Even with Corning glass, drops happen. We replace the entire front assembly for a perfect finish.
Green/Yellow Tint
LCD panel degradation from age or impact damage. Screen looks discoloured even without cracks. Full replacement fixes this.
Unresponsive Touch
Dead spots or ghost touches. Usually means the digitiser is damaged. Our replacement includes a new touch layer.
Black Lines/Spots
LCD bleeding or dead pixels from internal damage. Even small drops can cause this. Replacement restores perfect display.
Flickering Display
Screen flickers or cuts out intermittently. Often a loose connector or damaged flex cable. We diagnose and fix.
Backlight Bleeding
Light leaking around edges, especially visible on dark screens. Common on older LCD panels. New screen eliminates this.
