Dropped my 5s and got screen replaced but am worried it isn't the quality that it is supposed to be. Maybe I am just being paranoid but a reputable place fixed it. Does anyone know this?
Got a tip for us?

Are iPhone screen replacements retina?

Depends on where you go and where they purchased those replacement screens. Not every place is the same.
Well, easy enough to tell. Can you actually resolve pixels when looking at it with your bare eyes? If not (or difficult to do so), then you're in the clear.
Um, thats not how that works.
That'll be like cracking your screen and then taking a screen capture, it won't show the cracks.
LOL. Seriously? You do know that the iPhone doesn't even have a 720p resolution, and you are asking people to look at a screenshot to see if it is 'retina'? That ain't gonna work dude.
Yes, the screen replacement you can buy off of amazon and eBay are all retina. They're quality, i think, is subpar. Most of them have backlight bleeding issues, bad color rendering, low saturation, and the glass isn't gorilla glass so it can't take relatively big/more impacts like apple's screen.
This would be a good choice if you don't care too much about your screen or you are giving it away to someone. Its also a lot cheaper than going through apple.
